You, nuh need fi raise war with my friends
True, you're so bad, we don't need to pretend
But I don't want war with you or my friends
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
Please stay true, probably can par again, yeah, yeah
All the way 'round, I'm loyal
I got money on me and I'm loyal
I got money in my pocket, I'm loyal, ooh
Pain goes away when I'm tipsy
Pain goes away when you're with me (me)
Even when troubles all look risky, it's all under control
Shawty, just don't let this go (just don't let this go)
We spent the last three summers on the road (spent the summer on the road)
We get it on and then you go
I just don't want any war (no war)
No one at home
True, you're a star in my head (it's the truth)
You, nuh need fi raise war with my friends, no, no
True, you're so bad, we don't need to pretend

I got money in my pocket, I'm loyal, ooh
Pain goes away when I'm tipsy
Pain goes away when you're with me
Even when your troubles all look risky, it's all under control
Shawty, just don't let this go (just don't let this go)
We spent the last three summers on the road (spent the summers on the road)
