Black Prez:

Too damn early for this headache
I ain't tryna get ready
Met a girl I called her Betty (my name is Megan!)
Wanted more she wouldn't let me
Got me lookin like a mess
Check my phone gotta text
Last night was the best
Where we finna go next?
So ima take you back, back what we did
Had it so turnt up, couldnt crash where we live
Had a room full of girls, it was packed full of liq
Had me feeling grown up but still act like a kid
They be saying that we all that
Vision going all black
Everybody's so go, should probably call my mom back
Feelin alright, you looking alright
You the baddest in the buildin got me chirpsin all night (that's right)
Can't see me now I'm gone
Living like we on
Yo this liquor hit the gym? Cuz this drink is kind of strong!
Where is Ashley? Yo, where is Ashley?
Won't let a pretty chic pass me
Won't remember names, but will remember face
It don't matter where you from cuz I've seen you in this place
Shit, I'll take you to a space that you'll never forget
Have you text your girls like: I'm loving this shit! (yeah!)
Boom box or stereo
Great views like aerial
All up in the party we dance round like Terio
Ooh we kill em. Like ooh, ooh, we kill em
We too cool for realin
And you two I'm feelin
And this is life
Lookin round the room got me thinkin this is tight
She told me her name, I hope I listened right
Hit me with a text if you tryna stay the night

Shaun Reynolds:

We up all night (hey! ho! hey!)
We up all night (hey! ho! hey!)
We up all night (hey! ho! hey!)
We up all night (hey! ho! hey!)
Wake up tomorrow, grab another bottle!
Wake up tomorrow, grab another bottle!
Wake up tomorrow, grab another bottle!
Wake up tomorrow, grab another bottle!
We up all night!

Black Prez:

I'm saying we won't ever sleep if it's ever you and me
I'ma take you to the spot, that's the way its supposed to be
How you get so close to me
You ain't even supposed to leave
Everybody caught a glimpse so they had to hold the beat like...
Slow down baby
I don't think that they ready for a show now baby
Probably won't remember you like you Rohan Davey
I'm from Colorado, I ain't tryna ho-down baby! (yeee-hawww)
And I don't really listen to shit
So tell everybody here that we ain't fixin to quit
I got my homeys in the building that be fishin for chics
We on a case of the days that be the mission for this
Pull up to the scene like
Aye, yo Jill, got ya keys right?
Oh, it's you and a friend?
Yall can come back tomorrow, we can do it again!

Shaun Reynolds:

We up all night (hey! ho! hey!) Wake up tomorrow, grab another bottle! We up all night (wooo oooh Wooooooh) Wake up tomorrow, grab another bottle! Black Prez:

Damn... this party was crazy bro!
Haha... Is... aye. is that that gir?
Ayye. Sh-- aye thats that girl from earlier bro




Let's take another shot. Where, wheres the Kraken?
Shaun wheres? Damn. This fool passed out hahahaa
