Tonight
I just wanna take you higher
Throw your hands up in the sky
Let’s set this party off right
Players
Put your pinky rings up to the moon
Girls, what y’all tryna do?
24-karat magic in the air
Head to toe so player
Look out, uh
Pop-pop, it’s show time (Show time), show time (Show time)
Guess who’s back again? (Brrah)
Oh, they don’t know? (Go on, tell ’em) Oh, they don’t know? (Go on, tell ’em)
I bet they know as soon as we walk in (Showin’ up)
Wearin’ Cuban links (Yeah), designer minks (Yeah)
Inglewood’s finest shoes (Woop, woop)
Don’t look too hard, might hurt yourself
Known to give the color red the blues
Woo, shit
I’m a dangerous man with some money in my pocket (Keep up)
So many pretty girls around me and they wakin’ up the rocket (Keep up)
Why you mad? Fix your face, ain’t my fault they all be jockin’ (Keep up)
Players only, come on
Put your pinky rings up to the moon
Girls, what y’all tryna do?
24-karat magic in the air
Head to toe so player
Look out, uh
Second verse for the hustlers (Hustlers), gangsters (Gangsters)
Bad bitches and your ugly ass friends (Haha)
Can I preach? (Uh-oh) Can I preach? (Uh-oh)
I gotta show ’em how a pimp get it in
First, take your sip (sip), do your dip (Dip)
Spend your money like money ain’t shit
Ooh-ooh (We too fresh)
Got to blame it on Jesus (Hashtag blessed)
They ain’t ready for me, uh
I’m a dangerous man with some money in my pocket (Keep up)
So many pretty girls around me and they wakin’ up the rocket (Keep up)
Why you mad? Fix your face, ain’t my fault they all be jockin’ (Keep up)
Players only, come on
Put your pinky rings up to the moon (Woo, hey, girls)
What y’all tryna do? (What you tryna do?)
24 karat magic in the air (Air, air)
Head to toe so player (Ooh)
