(Statik Selektah)

We finna fly to Dubai, just you and I
Business class up in the sky, you know the vibes
Got the telly, somewhere out in the Palm, like, who am I?
Out the way, on a beach that's calm when you arrive
You the only one I wanna see sittin' in my living room
If I gain the world, you the person that I'd give it to
Ask 'bout your day, you the only one I listen to
Life is short, I am only doing the intentional
Redwood hikes, lacing up the good Nikes
We done made a promise that we gonna have a good life
Dinner on a beach, we gon' have a good night
Every song gotta end, there's a lot I could write
But I'ma say as much as I can
About this blessing that Allah placed right in my hands
Ain't no devil that's alive that could ruin my plans
We gon' do it how we want, put your feet in the sand

Baby girl, we only got one life, gotta do it right
Book another plane, never worry 'bout the price
One life, only got one life
We gon' do the things that we like

Let's go to Paris in autumn, you gonna love the vibe
I had some tiramisu that you would love to try
We on vacation, server, give her another wine
Merci, thinking 'bout coming back in the summertime
She wanna go to Kenya, I told her, "Say less"
I came up from hand-me-downs and Payless
Lake Tahoe, I got my hooks in the game
It's coming straight from the source, not cooking it if it ain't fresh
I'm having fun now
People say the word is a weapon, I got my guns out
We be on the balcony livin', she got her buns out
We be hella free for real, sunup to sundown
I'm giving you my last name, finna love your ass on a bad day
Old shit, make it run slow, clear the cache
Old hoes, hit me on the phone, send 'em that way
I don't got time for the job

Baby girl, we only got one life, gotta do it right
Book another plane, never worry 'bout the price
One life, only got one life
We gon' do the things that we like

Yeah
Santorini, like, someone give me a damn Bellini
I sent a pic to my pops, this nigga can't believe me
I'm showing up in the hood in a green Subaru
Told my bro this view right here is my Lamborghini
Excuse me while take a quick Polaroid
Told her I would rather be with you, like I'm Souljah Boy
Everywhere we go got views, she is overjoyed
Love to see her smile, this energy cancels all the noise
I'm always learnin' somethin', to me, that mean a lot
You like it, I love it, and girl that ain't a lie
Who cuttin' the onions? Sun in my eye, I'ma rub
Hit you from the airport hype, let you know that I'm comin'
Hopping in a Uber now
You been on my side for too long, nothing truer now
You can put your body in the water 'cause it's bluer now
We can do it all, love, everything and more

Baby girl, we only got one life, gotta do it right
Book another plane, never worry 'bout the price




One life, only got one life
We gon' do the things that we like

@LeoArcanum

This is the rap we deserve; wonderful composition and melodic musical arrangement. Exquisite

@SkipToMyTune

A guy I know, introduced me to this artist, and made me a fan. But if only he knew I was a fan of him, he would probably do something about it. He played this song and others when it was just around me, can't help but think what it would be if he was really my man, my world. Him and I could change our world. I only wish the best for him wherever he goes. I respect what he showed me, things like this especially. Ty KOTA!!

@odeefromdawic

This feels like divine timing for me to randomly be on YouTube and find this. Love you, respect you, appreciate what you do brother!!!!!
