Yeah we vibing crazy cruising in a foreign
Baddie to my right, city lights we touring
Hopping on a flight like I'm wearing Jordans
Flying in the sky baby yeah I'll always try

When I see her face yeah I'll know the time and place
Running this race, baby swimming in my space
Never smoking laced

Shawty know the taste
Feeling on her waist
Throwing cards I'm ‘bout to ace

Look in my soul and you'll find no ego
Colder than ice you'll be yelling out frio
Stopping the bullets, I'm feeling like Neo
Very superbad
Never getting mad
Cut at a party
Call me Mclovin'
Loving on you this ain't nothing Babygirl yeah this is something

Im just tryna make you mine
I was wondering would you give me your time
I'm just tryna make you mine (make you mine)

Memories made they'll never be erased, no

I was wondering if you would give me your time

I'm just tryna make you mine (make you mine)
