Backseat Lyrics
[Chorus: Ari Lennox]
Would you hit it how I like
Would you hit it in the back seat of my ride
And I know it's risky right
But I want it in the backseat of my hmmm
[Verse 1: Ari Lennox]
Oowee these fellas can't mind their business
You spank it so they know I'm taken
They don't wanna girl this crazy
Ooh we gon' steam up this parking lot baby
[Chorus: Ari Lennox]
Would you hit it how I like
Would you hit it in the back seat of my ride
And I know it's risky right
But I want it in the backseat of my hmmm
[Verse 2: Ari Lennox]
They might suspect, but who gon' check me
Ooh ooh this car is getting foggy
That brown skin all on my body
That brown skin done drive me crazy
[Chorus: Ari Lennox]
Would you hit it how I like
Would you hit it in the back seat of my ride
And I know it's risky right
But I want it in the back seat of my ride
Would you hit it how I like
Would you hit it in the back seat of my ride
And I know it's risky right
But I want it in the back seat of my
[Verse 3: Cozz]
Look, there's nothing to complicate
Ain't no need for conversation
I'm sure that your body got a lot to say
You know that I brought a plate
Cause you told me you only work from 6-to-9
Wait you know I'm off at 8
I'm tryin' to contemplate and concentrate on where to take your ass
I think I got a place, backseat of my car
I ain't got a place, but baby you're my
Thoughts have been nasty
I wanna smash me a bad piece
Introduce her whole face to my family
You ain't gotta ask me what the plan be
The condom plan A, without one, plan B
Fill up your damn jeans
Finna know baby I spill that damn cheese
No hands, I use my teeth and pull down your panties
Then focus on that sweet thang, open your pantry
I admire her for her, I would hire her to twerk
I'm not inspired to search for nobody else
That gushy too gucci, gushy way flyer than a purse
The way we grinding in this backseat, hope these tires ain't gon' burst
Swear to God
[Bridge: Ari Lennox]
What good is a bed when there’s a hooptie instead
Said I want it now
Love me long time while I steam up your ride
I want it now
What good is a bed when there’s a hooptie instead
I want it now
Love me long time while I steam up your ride
I want it now
[Chorus: Ari Lennox]
Would you hit it how I like (Revenge)
Would you hit it in the back seat of my ride
And I know it's risky right
But I want it in the back seat of my hmmm

How did "Backseat" come together?

Check out the full article here.
What did Ari Lennox say about "Backseat"?
In an interview with Buck TV, Ari explained:
A couple years ago I met my trifling ex, and we met here in Charlotte, North Carolina. […] I just started writing about what I was going through, I started just being more frank and riskier with my lyrics and it just worked out really well.
What was the inspiration behind this song?
It was probably just getting great sex in the backseat of a car. Yeah, it was my ex-boyfriend’s mom’s van. It was actually horrible the first time we did it in the car, but the second time it was better.
How did Ari get the beat for this song?
I was on DJ Grumble’s SoundCloud, and I just heard the beat. I was like, “This beat is swaggy. I should talk about what happened last night!”
What was Ari's songwriting process like?
I was just vividly expressing that night. I had this cheap-ass laptop and Windows joint. No offense to Windows. But it was an old beat up Windows laptop, and this cheap microphone. It was a USB microphone. It was like 90 bucks. I just recorded that joint on there.
How has this song empowered Ari?
“Backseat” empowers me because it’s me not being afraid to be real about what I’m going through as a black aroused woman. Because sometimes they put us in this little box. Even in the neo-soul genre, you can only sing about certain things, and that’s just not me. I’ve embraced who I am, and I’m just...
How does "Backseat" differ from Ari's other songs?
This was a time when I was like, “Fuck it. I have nothing to lose. I’m just going to freaking be frank as fuck.” I’m gonna be like, “Hey, this is what’s happening. This is what I’m going to do on this beat.” All my other songs I was desperately trying to create this imaginary fairy tale love life th...
How did Cozz end up on this track?
When I got signed, I think Ib and Cole were just playing it for Cozz, and Cozz was like, “I hear something to it.” And he wrote a verse to it and took it to the next level. He killed it. I felt it was crazy because his words to me, matched my relationship, it felt like. It was crazy how in sync it w...
