Won't do for you, I do for you
When I hit you at your condo real late
Check the scene to see if you straight
Then cut like kids cake
I got that feelin' for you, that feelin' that you crave
Each time I do it for you, I make that bad pussy behave
Now pop it, bottles, the top is so open
The budget, I'm Party so fuck it
The concierge told me my new baby lookin' like LeToya Luckett
Let my money get older and older and older and older like Regis
And she will not fuck with no broke niggas, no, nigga, only the realest

You got niggas and I got bitches
You got niggas and I got bitches

Yeah, shout the girls from the east who know what's good with me (girl, I see you)
Yeah, shout the ones from the west know what's good with PND, oh-oh (girl, I see you)
Stories of you and your girls is all I hear (girl, I see you)
Who do you fuck in the city when I'm not there? I owe you time
Let's plan somethin' out when I come back from Europe
Swear I'm withholdin' my urges
'Til you get this one-on-one shit like your name Katie Couric
I gotta get you those snow tires for your Mercedes
I'm glad you reminded me, baby
All of these thin's slip my mind it's been crazy
Bite on your shoulder, I know that's your favorite
Touchin' yourself to that video we made a month ago
You a freak and your cover's blown
How you talked me into sendin' that to you, I'll never know
Fuck it, girl, I'm 'bout whatever though
Yeah, I guess a nigga just believe in you and that's proof for you
Could name a lot of thin's any other man won't do for you
I'll do it for you, that's real

I want you
To turn up on me every night when I see you
Better recognize when I see you
I really want you, you, you
Hit the club for you, you, you
Lightskin got your new, new, do
Even look like Lauren London too

Hit the strip, check my money length
Sorry if my whip covered in dank

All these bitches know that you're my nigga

Touching yourself to that video we made a month ago
You masturbate while watching the video we made a month ago


You a freak and your cover’s blown
You are sexually adventurous and everyone knows it now


How you told me innocent and I told you I never know
You acted innocent but I knew you weren't


Fuck it girl, I’m ‘bout whatever though
I don't care, let's do whatever you want

I have faith in you and our relationship


And that’s proof for you
