Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We got the swag sauce, she dripping swagu, ooh
You a bad girl and your friends bad too, ooh
You got the swag sauce, she dripping swagu, ooh
I may be young, but I'm ready
To give you all my love
I told my girls you can get it
So in love
I'll give it all away
Just don't tell nobody tomorrow
So tonight
I'll do it every way
Speakers knockin' 'til the morning light
'Cause we like to party
(I don't know what y'all do)
Hey, hey, hey (but we like to party, we like to party)
Hey, hey, hey (I don't know what y'all do, but we like to party)
(Party, party, party, hey)
'Cause we like to party
(I don't know what y'all do)
Hey, hey, hey (but we like to party, we like to party)
Hey, hey, hey (I don't know what y'all do, but we like to party)
(Party, party)
'Cause we like to party
Your touch is driving me crazy
I can't explain the way I feel
Top down with the radio on
And the night belongs to us
Just hold me close, don't let me go
So in love
I don't care what they say
I don't care if they talking tomorrow
'Cause tonight's the night, oh-oh-oh-oh
That I give you everything
Music knockin' 'til the morning light
'Cause we like to party
Set the scene, three thousand degrees
Ain't worried about them f- n- over there, but they worried 'bout me
I got a homeboy named Butta and another homeboy, that n- named Cheese
F- wit' me, baby, I make it milk 'til it drip down yo' knees
Spit this ish fo' real-o, brain brillo
Kiddo say he looks up to me, this just makes me feel old
Never thought that we could become someone else's hero
Man, we were just in the food court, eating our gyros
Yesterday, that's the way, every single mornin' I try to pray
Grandmom 'n them, they never forgot
Nothin' else really mean nothin' to me
I ain't studyin' the beat, talkin' to me?
Girl, why you f- wit' me?
Move on, ain't nothin' to see
Pssh, always somethin' to saw, I'm the raw, off the rip
'Cause of him, all of them
Will remember the minute they fell in love with rap
Black like havin' your cousin back
Blue like when that rent is due
Cream like when I'm lovin' you, yeah
So in love
I'll give it all away
Just don't tell nobody tomorrow
'Cause tonight's the night, oh-oh-oh-oh
That I give you everything
Music knockin' 'til the morning light
'Cause we like to party
(I don't know what y'all do)
Hey, hey, hey (but we like to party, we like to party)
Hey, hey, hey, hey (I don't know what y'all do, but we like to party)
(Party, party, party, hey)
'Cause we like to party
(I don't know what y'all do)
Hey, hey, hey (but we like to party, we like to party)
Hey, hey, hey (I don't know what y'all do, but we like to party)
(Party, party, party, hey)
'Cause we like to party
You a bad girl and your friends bad too, ooh
We got the swag sauce, she dripping swagu, ooh
You a bad girl and your friends bad too, ooh
You got the swag sauce, she dripping swagu, ooh
