  • I still didn't believe

    You so damn important
    Everything you do shows me you know it
    Behind it all you are the motive
    Don't tell you enough, but baby I'll show it, show it
    He say he the king where he come from
    Take a young queen just to know one
    So, baby, I'ma drive it like it's stolen
    I'ma fix it like it's broken
    We could catch a flight out to London
    Go to the mall, spend a lump sum
    They could try to catch up to us
    But they're too busy making assumptions

    Boy you know all I do
    Is stay up all night losing sleep over you
    All I do
    Is drive myself crazy thinkin' 'bout my baby

    It's the way you walk, the way you talk, babe
    It's the way you love, the way you fuck, the way
    It's the way you are, you're a star, babe
    It's the way you, it's the way you

    She said I ain't even make my bed up
    Watch your step, you gon' wake my mama and dad up
    Pssh, girl, didn't I tell you at the damn club?
    We gon' wake your neighbors
    Turn your block club to my fan club
    And that happen so fast
    Damn, I'm glad I strapped up
    Ask her when she finish, if she came
    She said I lapped ya, twice
    Run it back for the door, rematch
    Flip the crib when we fuck, Remax
    It get hot than a mug, glass cup
    You can ask her if I fuck, she gassed, huh
    I gotta keep it a secret, I keep a key in my lower pocket
    Inside a register below the lower octave
    Dirty laundry in my closet, they be strung out on the street
    Left to dry with drawers, sheets and no deposit
    But I don't gotta worry, put my hand on your mouth
    Put my hands in your mouth, girl
    We got plans at my house, you know the way up

    It's the way you walk, the way you talk, babe
    It's the way you love, the way you fuck, the way
    It's the way you are, you're a star, babe
    It's the way you, it's the way you

    This thing we got is crazy
    Only thing I know is you're my baby
    Forever down, I am your lady
    Always for sure, never a maybe
    Never met someone who spoke my language
    Never met a nigga done with playin'
    You the type of nigga make me lane switch
    Hand me the brush and say "paint it"
    Give me your heart and I hold it
    Show me your soul and I'll mould it
    Baby boy, you gotta be the dopest
    Gotta be to fuck with the coldest

    Boy you know all I do
    Is stay up all night losing sleep over you
    All I do
    Is drive myself crazy thinkin' 'bout my baby

    It's the way you walk, the way you talk, babe
    It's the way you love, the way you fuck, the way
    It's the way you are, you're a star, babe
    It's the way you, it's the way you Writer/s: Chancelor Johnathan Bennett, Jahaan Sweet, Kehlani Parrish
