You know you got that juice
You know you got that juice
You know you got that juice
Now, squeeze all that passionfruit

Wet, wet dream in it
Wakin' up like we ain't in it
Me in your jeans in it
Yellow like pee in it
Oh no, I mean me in it
Know it ain't lean in it
But it's got a little kink in it
Kinda make you wanna drink in it
Got a little cream in it
But I feel like being in it
Work me up like caffeine in it
Drippin' like a extra large but the top is too small, yeah
Here, let me wipe you off
Look inside, I can't wait to get you home at all, nah
These cupholders are small
Can't believe what is in it, ya
Tastes like a good time
My ring was foggy in my business
Short turn, memory fried (brain on)
What you got, girl, is tough as shit
Can't nothin' else fuck with it (hey)
Pressed, please, that fresh squeezed juice
There could never be a supplement
Got juice for all my lovers
Got juice for all my wives (hey)
My juice is my religion
Got juice between my thighs (hey)
Now, ask the angels, baby
My juice is so divine (hey)
Ain't no juice quite like yours
Ain't no juice quite like mine (hey)
If you try to grab my pussy cat, this pussy grab you back (hey)
If you try to grab my pussy cat, this pussy grab you back (hey)
If you try to grab my pussy cat, this pussy grab you back (hey)
This pussy grab you back
Give you pussy cataracts (hey)
Yeah, I got the juice
I'm the truth, you can see it
Throw it up, throw it up
I'm the plug when you need it
I'm the truth, I'm the truth
Yeah, yeah, I got the juice
Dirty computer
Dirty computer
You can break me, break me down
If you want it you can get it
You can take my, take my crown
I don't want it, I don't need it
Yeah, yeah, I got the juice
Yeah, yeah, I got the juice
Dirty computer
Dirty comp
