Drunker than a motherfucker, high as a kite

Got in with my Sig, snuck in with my stick
"What you mean a stick?" Extended clip
"Who you in here with?" My hyenas and pits
"Y'all finna start some shit?" I'm tryna knock me a bitch
Richard Mille watch it's not a Swatch or a Koral
If I wanted to every week I could buy me a foreign
Her dude hella boring, she say he lazy and fake
All he do is gossip on the phone and he hate
The homies from the soil call him Tin Man 'cause he ain't got no heart
No bite or bark
My pockets is bloated, having my papers, my Euros
The haters they know it, we came here for the girls
We came here for the girls
We no wanna see no man
T-t-turn it up a dat in our plan
Mhm, gyal affi wiggle your bottom

Oh yeah, gangstas roll up inna di van

The Forties’s song One Night is all about the desire for the nightlife and the pursuit of the opposite sex. The lyrics depict men who just want to spend a night with females and enjoy their company while sipping drinks, smoking weed, and dancing to music. The focus of the song is the need for women to show their ‘bottoms’ and shake them, indicating that the attention is not so much for companionship but rather for physical gratification. The lyrics also hint that the men are there for the money and the thrill of the night, with the lyrics referring to gangs, guns, and lots of money being spent on women.
The singer talks about spending his money, having a good time, and not really caring about the repercussions. He mentions luxury items like designer watches and jewelry, and the fact that he can afford whatever he wants. The song's lyrics deeply reflect the stereotypes associated with the lifestyle of the urban youth and their carelessness towards anything substantial. It is seen as a light-hearted song, but on deeper analysis, it reveals the culture of misogyny, objectification of women, and the glorification of a culture that is unproductive.
The song's structure is built over a composition that combines different elements of rap, electronic dance music, and reggae to create a beat that will make the listeners move to its rhythm. The combination of styles is a hallmark of modern music, and The Forties have created a unique synthesis that captures the essence of the dance-floor.
