Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come get that summer vibe
Welcome to my city in December time
Generator sounding like a lullaby
Feeling like a Yoruba Samurai
Baby I'll go to war for ya
We burning like candlelight
You can't even measure it Fahrenheit
Baby I'll go to war for ya
See I no go fit lie say my love for you I swear e sure gan
Girl you dey blow my mind
You dey blow me away like say you be shotgun
No lies you are just my type omoge
No lie no be lie girl you are just my type omoge
You're a killer without a gun
With you I shine brighter than half of a yellow sun
You know I studied chemistry still I can do the math
Two bodies and one soul is it what you and I have become
Rest in peace your spirit of jealousy
Did you kill it just to prove to me love is a felony
You should write a book on changing a bad boy
Who still like his holy water with some Hennesy
Yeah
She said she said I beg your pardon pardon pardon
The way she back it up on I swear to God you think she good at parking
You're the only flower in my garden
Need the water the sun plus the summer vibe
Welcome to my city in December time
Generator sounding like a lullaby lullaby
Feeling like a Yoruba Samurai
Baby I'll go to war for ya baby I'll go to war for ya
We burning like candle light

See I no go fit lie say my love for you I swear e sure gan
Girl you dey blow my mind
You dey blow me away like say you be shotgun
No lies you are just my type omoge
No lie no be lie girl you are just my type omoge

Hold you down everyday in a world where there's no gravity
Hold you close and bring back the time that we had the summer vibe
