[Intro]
Ooh-ooh (I'm charged up, I'm getting activated)
Ooh-ooh (I'm charged up, I'm getting activated)
[Verse 1]
Heads high, kill 'em with a no-no-no-no (Hey)
Heads high, that's how we be
Inside, tell 'em we don't want no photos
Let 'em talk, let 'em talk, 'bout me ('Bout me)
No fucks, swinging from the balcony with (Yeah)
Two cups, one in each hand

Load it up, load it up, my man
[Pre-Chorus]
Leave me unattended, I'm an animal
Juice and gin, I'm mixin' up my chemicals
Uh-uh-huh, I'm running out of syllables (huh)
One, two, three, four, I'm about to let it go
[Chorus]
They like ooh, they like ooh (Like Ooh)
Baby, just wait on it
When I do the damn thing, just watch me
When I do the damn thing, just watch me (Watch Me)

Hold up, I ain't done yet
When I do the damn thing, just watch me
When I do the damn thing, just watch me (Watch Me)

Ooh-ooh (I'm charged up, I'm getting activated)
[Verse 2]
Gold links, that's what I call chain reaction (Hey)
Don’t think we gon' slow down
This drink threw me into automatic

Vroom, they don't see me comin'
They don't see me comin'
Vroom, they don't see me comin'
They don't see me comin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Leave me unattended, I'm an animal
Juice and gin, I'm mixin' up my chemicals
Uh-uh-huh, I'm running out of syllables
One, two, three, four, I'm about to let it go
[Chorus]
They like ooh, they like ooh (Like Ooh)
Baby, just wait on it
When I do the damn thing, just watch me (Watch Me, Oh)
When I do the damn thing, just watch me (Watch Me, Oh)
They like ooh, they like ooh (Like Ooh)
Hold up, I ain't done yet
When I do the damn thing, just watch me (Watch Me, Oh)
When I do the damn thing, just watch me
[Bridge]
They like ooh, they like ooh (Like Ooh)
Baby, just wait on it (On It)
When I do the damn thing, just watch me (Watch Me, Oh)
When I do the damn thing, just watch me
