Take part in, take it (ayy, ayy)
Take part in, take it (ayy, ayy)
Take part in (ayy, ayy)
Take it

Oh, I'm sexy and she likes it
I suggest we get it out the way, no fightin' (ayy, ayy)
My bestie, she's righteous

I got it, baby, you tell me and then we je-je (ayy, ayy)
I figured she was born again (again)
Oh well, I think I lost my friend
And while you're spillin' all of the tea, I got you jet wet (jet wet)
Look, sharp, baby, you got somethin' in your necklace

And she's on it
The way that she move it she's like Gwen Stefani
Rich girls club and I drank all my tonic
Don't like those girls who just sit down and gossip
Don't show love to the ones that caused it (take part in)
And we better get carded (take part in)
I thought that you would be right here
But you wanna go show that side of me

All it takes is just a little love, we can get lucky
Gave you all my heart, yet still it was nothin'
Laughin' with your pals, I knew there was something
Took me for a fool, now I'm on the phone cussin'
Stop, do me je-je, darlin' (ayy)
Fuck all of the shits, that I guess I started (je-je)
It's Mav on the beat, do me je-je-je
This pain is deep, can you feel me?

Oh, I'm sexy and she likes it
I suggest we get it out the way, no fightin' (ayy, ayy)
My bestie, she's righteous

I figured she was born again (again)
Oh well, I think I lost my friend
And while you're spillin' all of the tea, I got you jet wet (jet wet)
Look, sharp, baby, you got somethin' in your necklace
