This for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my, this is for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my, this is for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my B.F.F, girlfriend (girlfriend)

This for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my, this is for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my, this is for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my B.F.F, girlfriend (girlfriend)

Ayo, where my BFF?
Where my playboy bunny? Where that nigga Hugh Heff?
When we pull off at the light, why everything else get left?
Why they screwin up they face? Why they lookin a hot mess?
Why they be like no they didn't?
Them bitches is always shittin
My clock be tick tick tick tickin
Them chickens is finger lickin
And that's why we do 'em greasy
Stuntin in Louie Veezy
We straight without a perm and you bitches is stupid peezy
Would you like some rice with that?
We get alotta cheese no mice with that
I mean I want some ice with that
No soda, where your owner?
Give your license back, hoe

This for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my, this is for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my, this is for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my B.F.F, girlfriend (girlfriend)

This for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my, this is for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my, this is for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my B.F.F, girlfriend (girlfriend)

Th-that's my girlfriend, g-g-g-g-girlfriend
Don't forget the brush, blowdryer and the curlin iron
That's my girlfriend, tell them hoes stoppington

They know they want everything that we be coppington
Wherever I slide thru, I gotta go buy two
If I get it in the pink I get her the light blue
Brand new Range Rover that was for her bday
I just auctioned off some shit you could get it on e-bay
Anyway we VIP, we don't even need ID
Put em in the ICU if they dont bring the ICE
Get them bottles of Rose, one Long Island Ice-ee Tea
Put my bracelet in the mirror, I see me icing me, get it?

This for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my, this is for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my, this is for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my B.F.F, girlfriend (girlfriend)

This for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my, this is for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my, this is for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my B.F.F, girlfriend (girlfriend)

Scuse me there's way too many groupies
Why dont you just sit back or dance?
Sorry, we don't chit chat with fans
You came in the Diablo or was it a Gallardo?
We got the top down, doors up, Murcielago (lago, lago, lago, lago)
LP460, bitches that's the model

This for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my, this is for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my, this is for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my B.F.F, girlfriend (girlfriend)

This for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my, this is for my girlfriend (girlfriend)




This is for my, this is for my girlfriend (girlfriend)
This is for my B.F.F, girlfriend
