I'm sending out smoke signals (yeah)
And I'm sure that you can see them, so (Westcoast)
Come cheer for me girl (let's smoke)
We'll be hanging out up in the clouds
Come cheer for me girl (I hit you with this extra)
And we gonna have the ball, ball, ball (you take me high)
Ball, and we gonna have the ball, ball, ball (you take me high)
Ball, we gonna have the ball, ball, ball (you take me high)
Ball, we gonna have the ball, ball, ball (you take me high)
Ball, ball, ball (hey)
Ridin' around with the top down with a fine dime
And she told me to roll up, hey
And she like "Yo" let's go
Let the games begin what's the hold up, hey
I say girl, slow down when the sun go down
We can go up, hey
And I put that on mom, when I light up the spam
Better blow up (hey)
And first informally, most importantly
I think that we should have a toast according to you
'Cause who we, do be, the number one cutie
Every time you roll a doobie
And look, I'm feeling the feather
You're wearing your hat right
You said you was single, why won't you make it a pair?
Call your home girl TT, the one with the chichis
While I set up the TP for a week three
I'm sending out smoke signals
And I'm sure that you can see them, so (Westcoast)
Come cheer for me girl (let's smoke)
We'll be hanging out up in the clouds and

So I told her to show me (hey)
So I'm already knowin' in the moment
I'm about to get the Chonies (hey)
Then I slip the kiss to the chick with the J on her limps
Grab the bong, that proceeded into taking a rip
Blew a O, just to let her know
That she's willing to roll and baby come home we can take a dip
Trust me, trust me, trust me
We can go wherever you want, baby, please don't rush me
Nine times out of ten, girl you got a ten
So if you're down to put it in we can get it in
