I know what I need when I want you
How you gon be when I come thru
Pull up to your spot just around 2
Hope you gon be ready when I phone you
Come and kick it, tonight tonight tonight

You know how I get when the sun down
Liquor thru my body I can't come down
Higher elevation make you come now
Take you to the states like it's Rundown
Straight forward I can't be round the bush

Don't worry bout the payback it's gon be okay
Just promise when I text you, you won't hesitate
