Young nigga preach
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach
Young nigga preach
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach

I'm in Miami
I need to call up Miss Cassidy
My name is PARTY, not "Participation"
Sorry for the miscommunication
I need a drink and some Tequila with you
You know what I'm tryna do
Hey, let's pop the E off at LIV
I've got some timing to blow
I've got the money to blow
I've got the money and blow
Don't have to guess how I know
Oh, it's a secret? Trust me, I'll keep it
Your old niggas boring as bones
You put the PARTY tape on
You know what's going on, you know what's going on
She keep it wet like Tsunami
She think she sunk the Titanic
I get her hot like Wasabi
She think it's wavy and gnarly
I think I'ma pop one for you
Drink one for you

Young nigga preach (yeah)
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach
Young nigga preach (yeah)
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach
Yo-young nigga preach (yeah)
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach
Preach, preach, preach, preach
Preach, preach, preach, preach (yeah)

Still in Miami
Most of these girls are too messy
I've got to do some reflecting
I've got to find me one out here that's good at taking direction
I'm convinced that my calls are being recorded
So hit my assistant to get me the message and make the connection like, brrt
I'm on my way tonight I hope you not the crazy type, yeah
I'm in your state tonight I might just break the bank tonight, yeah
PND ain't with the ray-tay, you know Jay Ray
Got girls her going way, way, way, way, way, way
Sauga city trip the pay day
Glo'd up offa Gateway, man, you can't afford me
Doing is one thing
Doing it right is a whole different story
Niggas is all in their feelings these days
All in their feelings these days
But hearing the scripture with that many 6s you should be afraid

Young nigga preach (preach)
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach
Young nigga preach (yeah)
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach
Young nigga preach (yeah)
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach
Preach, preach (preach, preach)

Oh

Preaching
Preaching bad




Preaching, whoa

The lyrics encompass a narrative of PartyNextDoor being in Miami and the events leading up to him meeting someone. He calls a girl named Miss Cassidy and asks her to join him for drinks and tequila because he has got the money to blow. He plans to drop Ecstasy at LIV, a nightclub, and party the night away. The line, "She keeps it wet like a tsunami, she thinks she sunk the Titanic," suggests that he is referring to one girl while he is in Miami, and she can fulfill his physical and emotional needs, making her stand out from most of the other 'messy' girls out there.
