Sippin' Don Julio
Wondering where you been all night
Wondering where you lost my mind
I gotta' make you mine
I don't wanna fall in love
That's how my heart died
I've been on the drugs tryna keep it to the side
But you push my buttons right and it eats me alive (alive)
I'm up late in the studio
Sippin' Don Julio
Wondering where you been all night
Wondering where you lost my mind
I gotta make you mine
Tryna see what's up with her
She hates the way I'm livin'
Yeah, hold up wait, I think something's missing
Where the pills at?
She's the one that taught me how to sniff 'em
Getting chills, yeah
You know how I get off the prescriptions (Ooooh)
Making all the worst decisions, I got too much I regret
I put the double C's on and get back to running shit
Balenciaga B's are on her feet, she knows she too legit (yeah)
Hundreds blue Lilo and Stitch, burn it all like it ain't shit (yeah)
Made it back and made some more
It's nothing new, I been a vet
Go 'head ash it on the floor
Good biscotti to the chest (yeah)
Need some Visine, I ain't used to my eyes getting red (red)
5 A.M, I get a text, and now you back up in my bed (bed)
I don't wanna fall in love
That's how my heart died
But when I see her eyes, I get lost inside (Ooooh)
I've been on the drugs tryna keep it to the side
But you push my buttons right and it eats me alive (alive)
I'm up late in the studio
Sippin' Don Julio
Wondering where you been all night
Wondering where you lost my mind
I gotta' make you mine
