One, two, make you wanna, uh
Yeah, yeah
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay
Now, have you ever been with a player?
Take you downtown where they treat like the mayor
Take you to the crib, we can take it upstairs
(What's upstairs?) Shit, I'ma show you later
Don't need a spatula, everything catered, extra flavor
Go 'head, sprinkle some truffle on your mashed potatoes
I'm tryna love, is you gon' love me back?
You only get what you give, ain't you heard of that?
(Look here) I don't ask for much
(You know what I want) I just want what's fair (huh)
I'll bring that fire and desire, baby
All you gotta do is meet me halfway there, uh
I deserve to be
With somebody as fly as me
Somebody this fly
And you deserve to be seen
With somebody as fly as me
Somebody this fly
Oh, don't let 'em trick you with the jibb talk
Uh, okay, now Silk Sonic smooth like a mack
Float like a butterfly on every single track
And the only language that I speak, girl, is facts
So once I give this game to you, I can't take it back
Hollering at you from a 1977 Monte Carlo, hard act to follow
It's showtime, tryna boo you up like it's the Apollo
Your walk is vicious, let's get down to business
You and me together, ooh, that's something different
(Oh, come on) I don't ask for much
(I really don't, girl) I just want what's fair
(Ha, look here) I'll bring that fire and desire, baby
All you gotta do is this
All you gotta do is meet me halfway there, uh
I deserve to be
With somebody as fly as me
Somebody this fly
And you deserve to be seen
With somebody as fly as me
Somebody this fly
Now for real, I'ma need y'all to understand (ow)
Let's get it
If you don't know what we talking 'bout
I'ma have the whole band, help me spell it out
Yeah, if you don't know what we talking 'bout
Class in session, here's your lesson, help me spell it out
F (F), L (L), Y (Y)
You ain't never seen nobody this fly
It's like we back in school again
Now come on, children, I'm spelling
F (F), L (L), Y (Y)
You ain't never seen nobody this fly, ow
And I'm gone, uh
I deserve to be
With somebody as fly as me
Somebody this fly (fly)
And you deserve to be seen (you deserve to be seen)
With somebody as fly as me
Somebody this fly (ow)
Oh, and I'm back
Somebody this fly
Yeah, and I'm looking for somebody this fly
I can't help it, I want it all
Silk Sonic, let me get the three-piece and a biscuit
Uh
