Step one, I can be your man
You can call me daddy when we’re fucking in the sand
Step two, let’s go for a ride, baby
Gotta hold the stick, I’ll drive, baby
Step three, I be in these streets
Throwin’ up the West Side, chuckin’ up the Ps (Woo!)
And they can’t take away my pride
They just can’t take away my pride ’til they bury me
Look into my eyes and see what I see
You’re a mind reader, it’s just you and me
I’m ready to go to war for ya (War for ya)
I’ma be a warrior (Warrior)
I’ma make sure you’re safe with me
I been smokin’ that Cali
And baby, me and you can fly
Think it over one more time (Yeah, ha ha)
Just one more time (Okay)
Yo, I’m just a little nigga from a small town
I try to keep a small circle, but these fuck niggas always tryna come around
Bad bitches on deck, I’m ’bout to bring ’em out
You niggas writin’ bad checks, I make her booty bounce
15 years old, I was ridin’ in a Lamborghini
Now I’m 24, got a bigger fuckin’ Lamborghini
Two doors up, like I’m two floors up
It’s kill or be killed, nigga, either you or us
But I keep it movin’ like a U-Haul truck
This adolescence had me stressin’, I was too fucked up, I’m gone
What’s the point of you havin’ a crown if you ain’t got a throne?
If you king, you need a queen
I’m gone
Look into my eyes and see what I see
You’re a mind reader, it’s just you and me
I’m ready to go to war for ya (War for ya)
I’ma be a warrior (Warrior)
I’ma make sure you’re safe with me
I been smokin’ that Cali
And baby, me and you can fly
Think it over one more time
Just one more time
I just need it one more time, do it
Can we do it, baby, one more time? Do it
One more time (Oh-oh)
One more time
Baby, if we do it, it’s gon’ change our lives
It’s kinda late, get some sleep, I’ll drive ya
All around the world
I’m ready to go to war for ya (War for ya)
I’ma be a warrior (Warrior, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa)
I’ma make sure you’re safe with me
I been smokin’ that Cali
And baby, me and you can fly
(We can fly and just go, we can fly and just go)
Think it over one more time (Fly and just go)
Just one more time (Oh)
I’m ready to go to war for ya (War for ya)
I’ma be a warrior (Warrior)
I’ma make sure you’re safe with me (Oh-oh-oh)
I been smokin’ that Cali
And baby, me and you can fly
Think it over one more time (Whoa)
Just one more time (Whoa)
Oh yeah
Yeah
