[Intro: Fat Nick]
They all saying Hi 'cause I got all this ice on
Poured me up a four, told me I had to slow it down

[Chorus: Fat Nick]
They all saying Hi 'cause I got all this ice on
Broke boy talking, told his ass to pipe down
Poured me up a four, told me I had to slow it down

Used to ride backseat, Fucking any hoe now
They all saying Hi 'cause I got all this ice on
Broke boy talking, told his ass to pipe down
Poured me up a four, told me I had to slow it down
Used to ride backseat, fuckin' any hoe now

[Verse 1: Fat Nick]
I just drinking lean till my eye lids close
Party water on me baby, here quit rocking the boat
If she wanna love me, I put it in her throat
Shorty wanna cry, why you think she held my phone?
I just hit it once then I tell her bounce
Baby, hit me up, phone be ringing out
I don't pick it up, I'm not high enough
Shout out to my plug, he gon' get me now

[Bridge: Fat Nick]
She gon' act tough 'cause tonight's the night
Got some cookie roll, dropped a pint in my sprite
She gon' act tough 'cause I'm nice tonight
Got some cookie roll, dropped a pint in my sprite

[Chorus: Fat Nick]
They all saying Hi 'cause I got all this ice on
Broke boy talking, told his ass to pipe down
Poured me up a four, told me I had to slow it down
Used to ride backseat, fuckin' any hoe now
They all saying Hi 'cause I got all this ice on
Broke boy talking, told his ass to pipe down
Poured me up a four, told me I had to slow it down
Used to ride backseat, fucking any hoe now

[Verse 2: Bexey]
In the backseat, fur hood, Gucci shades on my cold face
I only fuck with goddesses, don't care what her hoes say
Hide me from your bitch but she already know me
I was told to shine and so, so go ahead throw shade
I'm irreplaceable, you don't even know
Been through hell now I'm so unbreakable
Once she rail me she don't even take no call
When she rang me she don't even wanna talk
Riding around this city in a blacked out benz truck
Drop men, no tints, I'm bringing it
Can't help my energy, this for good
'Cause I'm hanging round with some roof feeling top drunk
Death threats, bitch, do something
In real life they don't do nothing
Her and her friend got my crew busting
Got a shiny spout 'cause I do love it
Bitch, who want it? Tonight the night
I'ma be outside shining in the moonlight

[Chorus: Fat Nick]
They all saying Hi 'cause I got all this ice on
Broke boy talking, told his ass to pipe down
Poured me up a four, told me I had to slow it down
Used to ride backseat, fucking any hoe now
They all saying Hi 'cause I got all this ice on
Broke boy talking, told his ass to pipe down
Poured me up a four, told me I had to slow it down
Used to ride backseat, fucking any hoe now

[Outro: Fat Nick]
She gon' act tough 'cause tonight's the night
Got some cookie roll, dropped a pint in my sprite

She gon' act tough 'cause tonight's the night
Got some cookie roll, dropped a pint in my sprite
