This is the re-mix
JB
Foreign foreign
That foreign foreign
Let’s get going, are you foreign or complaining only moaning
Dominican, Puerto Rican, yeah, you know they do it for me
Have you seen that new Ferrari on my mind that thing is foreign
If it had some wings, we'd be flying, we'd be soarin'
Ah-ah-ah, When I'm in it I'll be thinking I don't want this thing to stop
No-o-o, But I'm thinking that you're winning if you make it to the top
Fly, That probably means you make me feel some type of way
Shoutout Miami for having so many foreign babes
She only been here for two weeks
(Came with a girls) Came with a girls and they tryna leave with me
(She workin’ hard) She workin' hard like she tryna get a visa
(The way she twerk it) The way she twerk it I just might pull out my Visa
After we leave girl, you know where you going
Straight to the 'tel, you ain't leaving 'till the morning
Same old thing, yeah you know that shit's boring (that shit's boring)
American you know I had to cop that foreign (cop that foreign)
American you know I had to cop that foreign (She got on a bad bikini, when we in the Lamborghini)
American you know I had to cop that foreign
(She from another country, but I brought her to the city with me now now)
I know it's never boring
American you know I had to cop that foreign
Uh huh
Just got back from Africa, I swear I saw about 50 thousand queens
(This is the remix) Touched down in Paris, had her waiting, had her waiting for me
Like ooh la la la, oh oui oui, c’est la vie
Off up on the islands, screams turn to silence
Fuck, drink, sleep
Hit it seven days ‘cause you know your man's weak
Make your body talk, know to make that thing speak, such a freak
She only been here for two weeks
Came with the girls and they tryna leave with me
She workin' hard like she tryna get a visa
(The way she twerk it) The way she twerk it I just might pull out my Visa
After we leave girl, you know where you going
Straight to the 'tel, you ain't leaving 'till the morning
Same old thing, yeah you know that shit's boring (that shit's boring)
American you know I had to cop that foreign (Cop that foreign)

(She from another country, but I brought her to the city with me na na)
I know it's never boring
American you know I had to cop that foreign
Uh huh
And she be like "Ay que rico" when I'm going real deep though
You can give me all of them besos, just stay low, do what I say so
Fuck me now, oh damn, shawty go H.A.M, do with no hands
Got me so high, Holland, Amsterdam, Iceland, China, Tokyo, Japan
Don’t understand what she speaks, but I break her body down, sheesh
Just like the beat, ay JB what’s the word out on the street?
No matter who she’s with, if she get a remix
After we leave girl, you know where you going

Same old thing, yeah you know that shit's boring (that shit's boring)

Everyone saying that Justin should write more music like this doesn't realize he wrote a whole album like this called journals that was honestly in my opinion some of his best music but just wasn't given enough credit and was so underrated because everyone hated him for honestly stupid reasons and before journals. He also released a few r&b songs on his album believe too love me like you do and right here ft. Drake which are still my all top favorite jb songs, he just honestly doesn't get enough credit for it.
