Damn near got my eyes closed
One shot, two shots
I'm gone
Now we gon' get fucked up
No excuses no apologies
Reputation for g's, thats the roll of a boss
So amazing to see, black baguettes in my watch
She say love is for free, just expensive to shop
But its nothing to me, that extends from my block
I got a lot of figures, I'm a father figure
She know a lot of niggas, don't know a hotter nigga
Come to the winners circle, a lot of men will hurt you
But I'm here to nurture, I wanna take you further
She got all them purses, I say in my verses
YSL and Hermes and barely scratch the surface
She know on purpose, as I peel the curtains
I always make her nervous, this record's perfect
Take it to the head
Don't think about it (be about it)
Don't be scared to take it to the head
Girl, you fly but if I tell you then you might take it to the head
I'm in my zone, damn near got my eyes closed

Now we gon' get fucked up, no excuses no apologies
Yo, reputation for bussin'

He got big balls, ran a play in his pants
Ran away with his money just to chill on the Island
All my bitches is stylin'
Beaches and eatin Italian
This is real shit, real shit
On the real, nigga fuckin' with a real bitch

Got that pussy like medication to patients
Got my eyes closed, like Asian persuasion
Fuck with me baby, it's Tunechi baby
Buss a nut, smoke a blunt, now I'm rejuvenated
With all that pink on, bitch I'm King Kong
I eat her ice cream, she eat my ice cream cone
Pop a pill and pop that pussy
I bet you Tunechi make her throw away that silver bullet
And she kiss me on my neck and she kiss me on my chest
And then she
Take it to the head

The lyrics to DJ Khaled's song "Take It To The Head" speak about living life to the fullest, without any regrets or apologies. The song speaks to the idea that you have to be willing to take risks and live life on your own terms, without being scared of what other people might think or say. DJ Khaled's typical style of shouting out to other rappers can be seen in the verse by Lil Wayne, where he boasts of his sexual prowess and his ability to make women feel good.
On a deeper level, the lyrics also speak about wealth and luxury, showcasing how powerful people can buy designer items and go on luxurious trips to France. The song suggests that success is measured by your ability to obtain these items and fulfill your wildest dreams. Ultimately, the theme of the song is one of self-confidence, encouraging people to believe in themselves and take risks to achieve their desires.

Fuck with me baby, it's Tunechi baby
Come have sex with me, baby, it's Lil Wayne
Buss a nut, smoke a blunt, now I'm rejuvenated
After having sex and smoking weed, I feel refreshed and ready to go
With all that pink on, bitch I'm King Kong
Wearing all this pink makes me feel powerful and dominant
I eat her ice cream, she eat my ice cream cone
We're enjoying each other sexually
Pop a pill and pop that pussy
Take some drugs and have sex
I bet you Tunechi make her throw away that silver bullet
I'm so good in bed that she won't need to use any sex toys
And she kiss me on my neck and she kiss me on my chest
She's showing affection and kissing me all over
