Quick to dead the bull like a matador
Quick to dead the bull like a matador
Bull, bull, bull like a matador
Quick to dead the bull like a matador

Cap and a stem, catch a wave on us (splish)
Take a shot, make a friend, just enjoy the moment
I'm Luke Skywalkin' on these haters (splish)
Celebrate every day like a birthday
Good things come to those that wait up (splish)
But don't wait to jump in too long
Don't sleep, you gotta stay up (splish)
Don't, don't sleep, you gotta stay up
Yeah, yeah, yeah

So pick a poison, yeah I got what you need (got what you need)
Nonchalant, got the green on rotation

Conversation flowin'
Left off, we in the clouds now
Laughin' in the moments
First you put the work in 'til it works out




Work it out 'til it's turnt out, yeah
Ooh, I
