Ecstasy

You got sick thoughts? I got more of 'em
You got a sister-in-law you'd smash? I got four of 'em
Damn, those is your sisters
You did somethin' unholy to them pictures
Damn, you need to be locked up
Nah, we need a bigger hot tub

Now let me see you back, back, back, back
Time to get the bag, bag, bag, bag
We don't throw stones, we throw stacks
That's why they goin' mad, mad, mad, Max
If you don't say your name then I won't ask
She got a smartphone, but a dumb ass
I thought of all this on Ecstasy

You got sick thoughts? I got more of 'em
You remember bad bitches that you smashed? I recorded 'em
She said "f*ck weed" 'cause she love X
If she suck seed, that's a success
If a girl cum, that's a f*ck fest
And we gon' score 100 on this drug test

Now let me see you back, back, back, back
It's time to get the bag, bag, bag, bag
We don't throw stones, we throw stacks
That's why they goin' mad, mad, mad, Max
If you don't say your name then I won't ask
You got a smartphone, but a dumb ass
I thought of all this on Ecstasy (perfect!)

Fuckin' 'round whoop, scoop!
Whoopity whoop
Whoopity whoop, scoop poop woop toop
Scoopity whoop loot, looty-whoop-whoop
Ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy (uh, uh)

You got sick thoughts? I got more of 'em
Han? Scoop!
You see them escorts? I escorted 'em, scooty-woot!
While y'all was trippin', I resorted 'em, whoop!
Then I kicked 'em out, I got bored of them, whoop!

Now let me see you back, back, back, back
It's time to get the bag, bag, bag, bag
We don't throw stones, we throw stacks
That's why they goin' mad, mad, mad, Max
If you don't say your name then I won't ask
You got a smartphone, but a dumb ass
I thought of all this on Ecstasy
