You see the drop top, bitch, stop playin' with me (ayy, ayy)
You see the drop top, bitch, stop playin' with me (ayy, ayy)
She said she wanna let the waves splash down on me (on me)
She said she wanna let the waves splash down on me (on me)
You see the drop top, bitch, stop playin' with me (yeah)
You see the drop top, bitch, stop playin' with me (on me)
She said she wanna let the waves splash down on me
I'm on the way, send me the addy
I'm on the Jackie
Five on the belt, ten on the jacket
You gotta have me
It's been a day, I don't wanna wait no more
Why the fuck are we waitin'? I don't wanna wait no more
I know a couple niggas had you
I ain't trippin', they ain't fuckin' with me
Know niggas on your block aggie
But them niggas don't mean nothin' to me
Hopped out, double parked, all them niggas watchin'
Copped a rubber from the akh
Hit your crib and got it poppin', eeh
You see the drop top, bitch, stop playin' with me (ayy, ayy)
You see the drop top, bitch, stop playin' with me (ayy, ayy)
She said she wanna let the waves splash down on me (on me)
She said she wanna let the waves splash down on me (on me)
You see the drop top, bitch, stop playin' with me (yeah)
You see the drop top, bitch, stop playin' with me (on me)
She said she wanna let the waves splash down on me (on me)
She said she wanna let the waves splash down on me
I know she 'bout it, it ain't mine but you fuck and I doubt it
She saw me, that's why her nigga re-routed
I'm a rich nigga, no, I ain't clouted
Lovable, I'ma youngin', I'm bossed up
That's the difference, don't let it get crossed out
I was seventeen comin' through Porsche'd up
Now it's Bentley truck, AMG, more stuff
She a dime, so her DM be crowded
And she fuckin' Lil' Tjay, he stylish
Ain't gon' say that lil' bitch ain't got mileage
But we ain't childish, it ain't no challenge like, yeah
You see the drop top, bitch, stop playin' with me
You see the drop top, bitch, stop playin' with me
I'm lettin' you know, I gotta stay down on the road
I'm lettin' you know, she gotta lock down while I'm gone
We don't do average shit, I got a magic stick, can't you see?
Whole lot of lavish shit, used to not havin' shit, no, no, no
Slide in that bitch with my Gucci's on, just tryna stay out the way
Money get made when I sleep, I don't do nothin' for free
I had some Dior slippers, I don't know what I did with 'em
Bret Hart when I'm sharpshootin'
I applied for them M's and you know I got 'em
You see the drop top, bitch, stop playin' with me (ayy, ayy)
You see the drop top, bitch, stop playin' with me (ayy, ayy)
She said she wanna let the waves splash down on me (on me)

You see the drop top, bitch, stop playin' with me (ayy, ayy)
I have a drop top and I want people to stop doubting me
She said she wanna let the waves splash down on me (on me)
She wants to have fun with me at the beach
I'm on the way, send me the addy
Give me your address and I'll come over
I'm on the Jackie
I'm on the highway, driving fast
Five on the belt, ten on the jacket
I have expensive clothes and accessories
You gotta have me
You need me in your life
It's been a day, I don't wanna wait no more
I'm impatient and want to see you now
Why the fuck are we waitin'? I don't wanna wait no more
I'm questioning why we're not together already
I know a couple niggas had you
I know you've been with other guys before
I ain't trippin', they ain't fuckin' with me
I'm not worried because I'm better than them
Know niggas on your block aggie
I know guys in your neighborhood are jealous
But them niggas don't mean nothin' to me
I don't care about their opinions
Hopped out, double parked, all them niggas watchin'
I parked my car and people are looking at me
Copped a rubber from the akh
I bought a condom from a friend
Hit your crib and got it poppin', eeh
We had sex and had a good time
I know she 'bout it, it ain't mine but you fuck and I doubt it
I think she's lying about being faithful to her boyfriend
She saw me, that's why her nigga re-routed
Her boyfriend changed his plans when he saw me
I'm a rich nigga, no, I ain't clouted
I have money but I'm humble
Lovable, I'ma youngin', I'm bossed up
I'm a lovable and successful young person
That's the difference, don't let it get crossed out
Our relationship is different than others, don't ruin it
I was seventeen comin' through Porsche'd up
I had a nice car at a young age
Now it's Bentley truck, AMG, more stuff
Now I have multiple luxury cars
She a dime, so her DM be crowded
She's attractive, so she gets a lot of messages on social media
And she fuckin' Lil' Tjay, he stylish
She's having sex with me because I'm stylish
Ain't gon' say that lil' bitch ain't got mileage
I won't deny that she has had sex with other guys
But we ain't childish, it ain't no challenge like, yeah
But we are mature about it and it's not a problem
I'm lettin' you know, I gotta stay down on the road
I'm letting you know that I have to travel a lot
She gotta lock down while I'm gone
She has to be faithful while I'm away
We don't do average shit, I got a magic stick, can't you see?
We do extraordinary things and I'm good in bed
Whole lot of lavish shit, used to not havin' shit, no, no, no
I have a lot of luxury items now, but I used to be poor
Slide in that bitch with my Gucci's on, just tryna stay out the way
I wear Gucci shoes and try to stay low-key
Money get made when I sleep, I don't do nothin' for free
I make money even when I'm not working and don't work for free
I had some Dior slippers, I don't know what I did with 'em
I used to have expensive slippers but I lost them
Bret Hart when I'm sharpshootin'
I'm like a wrestler when I'm doing well
I applied for them M's and you know I got 'em
I applied for millions of dollars and got approved
Ayy, ayy
