Chocolate Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey now, call it a split because I know that you will
Oh-oh, you bite your friend like chocolate
You said we go where nobody know
With guns hidden under our petticoat
No, we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no
Now we run, run away from the boys in the blue
Oh, my car smells like chocolate
Hey now, I think about what to do
I think about what to say, I think about how to think
Pause it, play it, pause it, play it, pause it

[Chorus]
Oh, we go where nobody know
With guns hidden under our petticoats
No, we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no
Yeah, we're dressed in black from head to toe
We got guns hidden under our petticoat
No, we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no

[Post-Chorus]
Now you're never gonna quit it, now you're never gonna quit it
Now you're never gonna quit it if you don't stop smoking it
That's what she said
She said we're dressed in black, head to toe
With guns hidden under our petticoat
Mm, we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no

[Verse 2]
Hey now, we're building up speed as we're approaching the hill
Oh, my hair smells like chocolate
Hey now, you say you're gonna quit it, but you're never gonna quit it
Go get it, go get it, go get it, go get it, go
And play it cool

[Chorus]
Oh, you said we go where nobody know
With guns hidden under our petticoat
No, we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no
Yeah, we're dressed in black from head to toe
We got guns hidden under our petticoat
We're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no

[Bridge]
Well, I think we better go
Seriously better go
Said the feds are here, you know
Seriously better go
Oh no, well, I think we better go
Said the feds are here, you know
Said Rebecca better know
Seriously better go

[Chorus]
(Hey)
We go where nobody know
Guns hidden under our petticoat
No, we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no
Yeah, we're dressed in black from head to toe
Guns hidden under our petticoat
No, we're never gonna quit it, no, we're never gonna quit it, no, no, no

[Outro]
Well, I think we better go
Seriously better go
Said the feds are here, you know
Seriously better go
Well, I think we better go
Said the feds are here, you know
Said Rebecca better know
Seriously better go
