But it's more then just humpin' come with the cheese or we ain't fuckin
But I ain't frontin he can get it every night if my nigga got hundreds
He can eat me all night if my nigga put his tounge in
I could teach him on sight cause I'm really down to learn and I (haha)
Fly by so high shoo fly high haters have 'em high money stacked so high
Bad nigga by my side gon' fuck it up Nie, haha have me feelin fly
[Chorus:]
