This track first appeared on Banks' earliest mixtape, Before the Expensive Taste, but with different verses. Both versions of the song sample “Knock That Door” by indie rock band Enon.
Check out the mixtape version here.
[Intro: Enon]
That's the way that our love can grow
(Can grow, can grow, can grow, can grow)
[Verse 1]
Carolina H fits, hottest bitch from the block
Used to puff Phillies 'n' Duchies 'n' Stuff Nicks
Now I light doobies, the cutie from five fifth
Life like a movie, she typing her own script
What's this? Young sis
Made it from the cement, start pushing her own bricks
Put on for her city, I pop in Metropolis
Hold this, chocolate and focused
Know this, vocal and chosen
Opponents, leave 'em dead in they own crypt (Ha)
Murder she wrote, she prefer it in cursive
The purse sick, the verse is perversive
They worship, making the words skip
Superb witch in demand, she perfect
Understand the plan, the blueprint
Hundred grand in the hand, it's on grip, nigga
[Chorus: Enon]
That's the way that our love can grow
Make the play and then not too slow
Gimme a chance, I will have to make you dance
Make a play upon the dance floor
I'll be a-waiting there until knock the door
[Verse 2]
Money getting galore, cream cover the pores
Honey drip on ya jaw, Mami spittin' allure
I'ma get it for sure, getting it all
I'm dreaming it big, 2Pac it Shakur
Vision it clear, who's stopping a star?
You deep in the rear while I'm knocking it forward
Impressing the pair, but three get 'em a charm
You checking from where? New Yorker to heart
Harlem girl from the block, ponytail with the part
If you gimme a, gimme a, I'ma give you a lot
Many Benji's from Penny's bet you can't hustle a fox
Tony, Oscar or Emmy, is you acting or not?
Phony homies and any and who happen to plot?
They come up with empty while you beam to the top
While you cream of the crop
Ha-ha
[Chorus: Enon]
That's the way that our love can grow
Make the play and then not too slow
Gimme a chance, I will have to make you dance
Make a play upon the dance floor
I'll be a-waiting there until knock the door
[Bridge]
Llévate el dinero y ese bandolero
Nada me hace falta y yo a él no lo quiero
Toda mi vida ha cambiado, estoy mejor cada día
Lamento informarte, no funcionó la brujería
Mira como baila la nena morena
Mira como baila, sin llanto ni pena
Mira como baila la nena morena
Mira como baila, sin llanto ni pena
[Verse 3]
Libre independiente, me dice la gente
Rebelde y caprichosa, pero eso es otra cosa
Yo mucho pa' ti, tu muy poco pa' mí
Ahora más que nunca me siento feliz
Actitud positiva, la regla de mi vida
Si no me conviene hacia mí no viene
En control me quedé, estoy a cargo de todo
Mi vida, mi suerte como dicen aché
[Outro]
Mujer hermosa Yemayá, madre de los siete mares
Madre de los Orishas
Te pido bendigas esta música y la hagas santa
Mira como baila la nena morena
Mira como baila, sin llanto ni pena
Mira como baila la nena morena
Mira como baila la nena morena
