You know I'm all about that thing, that thing
If she ready then I'm ready
Pull up on her with the Chevy
Real talk when that light turn green (Let go)
Give me what I asked for, I got a passport
Mister international, I hit the airport
If you knew the kind of work that I transport
That Rihanna do me dirt to the crash course
I like the cleanest, greenest, leanest
Serena, Venus, Flo a Genius, smokin' Phoenix
You never seen this
I have her dream this that 200 on the dash, got me feenin'
So I'm tryna ride out, slide out
Grab the stripes, then the five hundred bye bye
Wild out, shout out
Beehive, hit the honeycomb hideout, ayy

Give me the green light
Cause I'm ready to go
Let's have a good time

We only got one life
And we gon' live it up
So give me the green light, let's go
Cause I'm ready to go, oh, oh, oh
