Baby, if you keep (Keep)
Doin' what you're doin' to me (To me)
I'll do what I'm doin' to you, ooh girl
Doin' it, I do what should be
You can do it, you can do it, you can do it
Baby, if you keep (Keep)
Doin' what you're doin' to me (To me)
I'll do what I'm doin' to you, ooh girl
Doin' it, I do what should be
You can do it, you can do it, you can do it

I woke up on the right side of the bed
Cooler than the other side of the pillow, yeah
Act a fool 'cause there's nothin' to prove
Because the proof is in the pudding, do tell (Yeah)
You hail, two worlds collide, make girl (Yeah)
Made Boi, create a family all by choice
And when you're mad at me, I lower my voice, grab my keys
Iceberg Slim put you on freeze
Walk off like a pimp, grab my trees
Put the drawer in the wind, I'ma blow 'til you simmer down
Get her done
Too much fun to be had instead of arguing, hun, hun
I'd rather be up in them guts, nah
I'm just playin', but I'm serious as f*ck, ma

Ring around the rosy, got a pocket full of dough
Buy you anything and take you anywhere you wanna go
Plenty fish out in the sea, but I keep throwing you the line
Go on, do it for me, baby, do it, baby, one more time

Baby, if you keep (Keep)
Doin' what you're doin' to me (To me)
I'll do what I'm doin' to you, ooh girl
Doin' it, I do what should be
You can do it, you can do it, you can do it
Baby, if you keep (Keep)
Doin' what you're doin' to me (To me)
I'll do what I'm doin' to you, ooh girl
Doin' it, I do what should be
You can do it, you can do it, you can do it

Ain't nothin' left for me to say but, "What it do, skeez?"
(What it do, skeez?)
I'm down, you down, we up
It's a slippery slope when a nigga need hope
I'm truly on board
Got a love connection on 'roids
You can catch us in our sunset years
We'll be swingin' on the porch
Or better yet, I'm in the Ferrari
And baby girl gon' push the Porsche
We don't do this shit for no IG
It's 'til the dirt with no divorce
Stay the course, big mama taught me
To put that work in but no days off, G
You can't force it, be organic
Sit back and sow the seeds you planted, daddy

Ring around the rosy, got a pocket full of dough
Buy you anything and take you anywhere you wanna go
Plenty fish out in the sea, but I keep throwing you the line
Go on, do it for me, baby, do it, baby, one more time (Woo)

Baby, if you keep (Keep)
Doin' what you're doin' to me (To me)
I'll do what I'm doin' to you, ooh girl
Doin' it, I do what should be
You can do it, you can do it, you can do it
Baby, if you keep (Keep)
Doin' what you're doin' to me (To me)
I'll do what I'm doin' to you, ooh girl
Doin' it, I do what should be
You can do it, you can do it, you can do it
