Yeah, said she wanna fuck to some SZA, wait
‘Cause I used to date SZA back in ’08
If you cool with it, baby, she can still play
While I jump inside that box and have a field day
I’m the slow stroke king, hit me anytime
And my goal is to get you to the finish line
I seen good movies and bad plenty of times
So let me finish strong, girl
