You ain’t even tellin’ me what to say though

Where we goin’? Where we goin’? Eh-eh
You know man, you-you, huh
Wait, we down, take me through there, take me through there
(If young Metro don’t trust you, I’m gon’ shoot you)

Take me through there, take me through there (She goin’)
Takе me through there, takе me through there (Look up, through there, through there)
Take me through there, take me through there (Up through there)
Take me through there, take me through there (Hold up, baow, we goin’)
Take me through there, take me through there (F**k is we goin’ then?)
Take me through there, take me through there (Outta here, ooh, we gone)
Take me through there, take me through there (Hold up, she goin’, goin’; Hood rich, hood rich)
Overly, yeah, she goin’ (I’m tellin’ you)

Full course meal, she ate up the drip, she wanna go through there, yeah (Eat it up)
Pop me a one name, tryna get fried, take another piece of the pill (Fried)
Gassed up shawty, up through there, the crew like a rocket for real (Up through there)
I told her, “Charge me up, my phone died”, she goin’ Nokia, yeah (Brr)

Take her through there, huh, bust her down, just like the watch (Just like the watch)
F**ked her on Tuesday, then kick the ho right out the spot (This b*tch gotta go)
She f**kin’ with bruddanem? They ain’t even havin’ a lot (They be havin’ no motherf**kin’ motion)

Even if that motherf**ker small, still throw that sh*t (Okay, hahaha)
