[Intro]
M-M-M-Murda
[Verse 1]
I see you watching so I walked into your stare
'Cause I ain’t in the position to be walking over there
I got a situation, I can tell you wanna know
How you can take an honest girl and turn her to a
If I'ma take a gamble, then you better come correct
I need more than them diamonds that you got around your neck
Shit, anybody can flex, my baby do it best
If you come with somethin' better, then we might just take it there
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I ain't right for tempting you
But I just wanna see what you would do
If I gave you a taste of what I do
Just remember that I don't belong to you
[Chorus]
You gon' have to come stronger than this liquor
Wanna take me home, better be more convincing
It'll take more than that to get to me
More than that to get your way
Boy, you better come stronger than this liquor
Wanna take me home, better be more convincing
It'll take more than that to get to me
More than that to get your way
I'm stronger than this liquor
[Verse 2]
If my man notice, there'll be some issues
But take my number down, I just might hit you
No, I'm just playing, I'm so deep in love
But the way you talkin' might just have me actin' up
The way you looking at me, boy, I know what’s up
I can feel how you feel without even a touch
But don't think that's gon' make me give it up
Boy, your time is up
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I ain't right for tempting you
But I just wanna see what you would do (Ooh, see what you would do)
If I gave you a taste of what I do
Just remember that I don't belong to you
[Chorus]
You gon' have to come stronger than this liquor
Wanna take me home, better be more convincing
It'll take more than that to get to me
More than that to get your way
Boy, you better come stronger than this liquor
Wanna take me home, better be more convincing
It'll take more than that to get to me
More than that to get your way
I'm stronger than this liquor
[Outro]
It'll take more

Well, there was a session put together and I ended up in the room alone with Prince Charles and Wayne who wrote on the song. And I think Murder was in the room for a little bit. And then it was just kind of like the engineer and us. And we just kind of were vibing with each other on the track. Princ...
I think it’s just for me, it’s just like a fun song. It’s not like anything serious. It’s like being young and being kind of in a flirtatious energy. Not necessarily like one that’s engaging, but like being aware of something which happens to a lot of us I think. I was 19 then? So I think it was jus...
I just feel like for me songwriting is very much visual. Like when I write a song, like it’s kind of like a artist when they pick what colors to paint with. Like you have to tell a story with each color so that it makes sense to your piece and brings the balance and harmony. It’s like the same thing...
