Uh hey
Are you really a hot boy
Oh check me
What's your name, cause I'm impressed
Can you treat me good, I won't settle for less
You a hot boy, a rock boy
Where you live is it by yourself
Can I move wit' you do you need some help

See y'all be drivin' those Lexus jeeps, and Benz jeeps and the Lincoln jeeps
Nothin' cheaper wit' the Platinum Visa
Hot boyz

See y'all be drivin' Jaguars, and the Bentley's, and the Rolls Royce
Playin' hardball wit' the Platinum Visa

It’s crazy how the energy of this song is insanely feminine and soft, but also hard and edgy. I love Missy. She’s such a genius 🔥
