You ain't like this to the world and I'm respecting that
I said you're gonna get gold so you'll be testing that
Finna hit it so good, won't be expecting that
One more round gonna drain all your energy
Ain't gonna stop no matter what you're telling me
Treat you like a Queen, handle you like the enemy
Ima 'bout to drown now, this is finna be the be end of me
But you know when I'm up in it
That you love the way I bring it
Cuz you know that Ima kill it
Finna kiss it, lick it, flick it
Make you miss it when I dip
