In the club, on the deuce, big stacks no flex

He walkin' in his one steady smokin' on fruits
She walked in with a friend, all in her snow boots
Oh shit there dey go (hey) they walk it on the flo'
Grey Goose, double shots, it'll let your body go
My niggas on my side, haters hate, think it's funny

Froze on them hoes, I'm not talkin 'bout dancin
Ho count 'pon the charm, diamonds steady stead' enhancin

Okay, do it how you do it, go on and walk it out

Walk, walk, walk, now walk it out
Walk, walk, walk, now walk it out
Walk, walk, walk, now walk it out
I said do it how you do it, go on and walk it out
