Wit It
Chrishan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, Oh yeah
Yeah, Oh yeah
Looking 'round my living room
Every time I think of you
I'm high girl, where you at?
You're drunk and black, I'm gon' get it
I'ma swing by, I'ma pick you up
Just like how we used to
But I need to know
Is you still wit it? Wit it? Wit it?
Is you still wit it? Wit it? Wit it?
And I pull up in that parking lot
Bout to head back to the house
When you walk in, don't talk a lot
'Cause my nigga's sleeping on the couch
You can hit the bed, you can hit the floor
Just make sure that you lock the door
No strangers sneaking on us,
My head is crazy being honest
You put your face down, then ass up
Tag 'em like a drum roll
So high, like the bass low
Up and whine, wanna say something
Say something, open wide
Wanna say something
Yeah, only thing need to know
Is you still wit it? Wit it? Wit it?
Is you still wit it? Wit it? Wit it?
Is you still wit it?
Yeah, how did I know it was you?
Used to walk in the room, and make the baddest,
But you knew it was uncomfortable
I mean, I swear you do the shit like it was something to do
I mean, somebody must've get you out the juice
The baddest bitches that I knew were fucking for sure
But you're making the most, you're paying the dues
All over the news
That's a good thing,
That could make a nigga fall in love
That's a new thing
Yeah.
