Baby, can we talk to you for a minute? (Hey, hey, hey)
Fuck it up
You should be my bitch
I could be your nigga
Come and get this drunk dick, fuck you off the liquor
Walk in the house, get naked, stripper
She know I rock red shoe strings (what else?)
She know it's gang-gang 'til I bleed (what else?)
A 4Hunnid nigga what she need
She know I put the Maybach on D's
I just want someone to talk to whenever I start feeling alone
Sometimes it gets hard to watch you
When I know I can't have you to call you my own, but
You should be my boyfriend, girlfriend
