(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Oh)

Tie a balloon, she ain't finna hold me down
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
Light up the room, VVS on me now
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
Got do the dash, nigga can't slow me down
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
Shorty for real, shorty better show me now
I can't be savin' all my love for you (for you)
Try to be real, it ain't enough for you (oh yeah, oh yeah)
There so much issues with my trust, on me (oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
Shorty be extra real, better not bluff on me

I want to be by myself today
'Cause I keep it so for real
I'm really wigglin' 'cause I know trenches
Them niggas don't know for real (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Got to be a soldier, got to be on tactic
I got be on go for real (oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
'Cause I be off drugs and it's just a habit
I really can't cope for real (oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
I'm all the way trippin' 'cause I got that in me
I walk in that bitch on my own (I walk in that bitch on my own)
Shorty be talkin', she really don't feel me
She just want to get what she want (oh yeah, oh yeah oh yeah)
I'm just gone dog her and fuck her and bend it
And talk about that bitch in a song (oh yeah, oh yeah oh yeah)
I run with robbers and hustlers and killers
Y'all niggas been gettin' it wrong
I want to ball every day
Ain't finna call every day
I go so hard every day
Pull out the coupe with that bitch on my lap
Don't feel like duckin' and dodgin' today
Niggas be googlin' shit 'cause I rap
Think I won't put one in side of yo face
Can't get to talkin' beside yo' play
Put that bitch right in your way
How you gone deal with me?

(You know, I'm talkin' about, like, life and shit so hard
'Cause you got some depression on the real, nigga
It's like, when I'm finally givin' up, I'm gone
How you goin' fuckin' deal with it nigga, like, every day?)

Tie a balloon, she ain't finna hold me down
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
Light up the moon, VVS on me now
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
Got do the dash, nigga can't slow me down
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
Shorty for real, shorty gone show me now
I can't be savin' all my love for you (for you)
Try be real, it ain't enough for you
There so much issues with my trust, on me
Shorty be extra real, better not bluff on me

(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
