This that summer jam, man

Yeah, girl, I wanna be your lover
We can do this all night, right now
But first let me get a lil' drank in me
Hood got a big Hemmey, vibes loud
Oh yeah, babe
You gon' feel it when you vibe with me
We all on each other
From the minute you walked in the club
I ain't gotta lie to you
'cause you know it
I think I'm 'bout to fall in love
Right now
We should get ready 'cause I'm in the mood
I'm tryna do something to you, but baby
Hold up
Yeah, champagne on the way
It's a time and a place
Baby girl, I wanna take off everything
But I gotta wait
You're gone, wanting your body
But it's a time and a place, oh girl
I gotta wait
Look, I'm 'bout to slide on ya ass
I ain't lookin' at ya
Got my eyes on the cash
Baby daddy with me, he on C class
Look, I kill the scene, dead flies on ya ass
I feel codeine in my tank
But I'ma pump 89 for the gas
Summertime niggas on the grind with the slab
Overtime nigga finna ride 'til ya crash
Baby, I ain't tryna make ya laugh
But call me butthead, got my mind on ya ass
This ain't a disguise, this a mask
This ain't a Nissan, this a Jag'
No surprise, boy, you know I'm gon' spaz
All that money gettin', boy
You know they gon' ask
I ain't finna play, put the 40 on ya ass
In a Audi thing, 240 on the dash
Your girlfriend know we got bags
Got her in the hotel, shorty gettin' smashed
It's just me and my niggas havin' a blast
Livin' fast, buyin' the things we never had
We just love stuntin'
We ain't never like to brag
All us thuggin', we ain't never had a dad
I did a lot of dirt in my past
Later on the cell came, bit me in the ass
Lately I be hit the beat with the tab
Lately I been doin' shows back to back
Free Chattboy, free Cool i'm goin' hard
I ain't goin' back to school
Bob the Builder youngin' on the
Corner with the tool swimmin' in the money
What you doin' in the pool?
Took flight, then I landed on the news
Playin' with them bands

Baby girl, I wanna take off everything
But I gotta wait
You're gone, wanting your body
But it's a time and a place, oh girl

Wait just for a minute

Fuck Uber, you can sit in my lap
When we ride the Lamborghini, just hold on

No breaks, all gas, it's gon'
Be a long night, baby
Yeah, champagne on the way
It's a time and a place
Baby girl, I wanna take off everything
But I gotta wait
You're gone, wanting your body
But it's a time and a place, oh girl

Another amazing song aint nobody like thee Chris Brown
@KadeemLiburd
Selma Miguel, The Weeknd, and Usher (no specific order). Chris Brown makes good club music but as far as just straight R&B its the three I just named. At the very least, The Weeknd makes better music than Chris and Usher is on a whole other level. Kaleidoscope dreams and Wildheart are both better than CB's last 3-4; maybe even 5 albums
@jacksonstephan5640
***** then explain how the xfiles version of new flame sans usher is better than x the album's
