Let the night fall on you
Change the night, better rest tonight
I just wanna ride slow

(Verse)
I’ve been working all day, waiting for tonight
Roll my first blunt, now I’m feeling right
J Lo in my cup, let’s turn up tonight
Bitches tryna fuck, let’s turn up tonight
Them cling wheels, I got em
Them bitch niggas, I’m not em
I got my money right, ain’t got no problems
Ain’t got no problems
Rolling, never stopping
(Hook)

Got a problem how I do it bitch, do it better
No never never, I hate that never never
So track what I’m adding bitch, you see the sweater
Ain’t no nigga fresh, nah, never
