Island girl
Pesos, stay low Steppin' on the haters with some rick o's
Shorty got a vibe like she Aiko I ain't doin' extra, less she say so
She tryna boss up Shawty know she bad cuz she from Austin
But she always playin' games like Jerry Lawson Take away the pain when we fuckin', yeah
She a island girl, she a island girl Dark skin, yeah, with some pretty hair
She a island girl, she a island girl Dark skin, yeah, with some pretty hair
Smellin' like the ocean, yeah, she blow my world I don't do no fake, she the real deal
Say she in love with Ivorian music I wanna see how your body is movin
Fine wine dining while lil baby is groovin' She a thinker, but never assuming
Boss up Shawty out the way, she don't gossip
20k lipstick, yeah, she glossed up, Baby got the moves like Michael Jackson
She a island girl, she a island girl Dark skin, yeah, with some pretty hair
Smellin' like the ocean, yeah, she blow my world I don't do no fake, she the real deal
She a island girl, she a island girl Dark skin, yeah, with some pretty hair
Smellin' like the ocean, yeah, she blow my world I don't do no fake, she the real deal
