Hol' up
[Verse 1: Solange]
Pour my drank, drank
Sip, sip, sip, sip, sip
Pull that Lac on 'em
Sip, sip, sip, sip, sip

Brown skin, brown face
Brown leather, brown sugar
Brown leaves, brown keys
Brown creepers, brown face
Black skin, black braids
Black waves, black days

Pour my drank on 'em (Baby, my mind fuzzy)
Sip, sip, sip, sip (Baby, my mind fuzzy) sip

So, pour my drank (Doin' the dash)
Sip, sip, sip, sip, sip (Doin' the dash)
Brown liquor
Brown sugar, brown face
Brown liquor
Brown sugar, brown face
Black skin
Black Benz, black plays
Black molasses, blackberry the masses

Young nigga too cool

Smokin' that dope, that is strong
I get that chopper, that dump
All of my diamonds, they lumps
All of my diamonds, big lumps

Tear the bitch up, break her heart
Young nigga fresh from the start (Hol' up)
Young nigga fresh from the start (Hol' up)
Badass bitch from the start (Hol' up)

When I come around, they don't talk down
