[Intro]
TrackTeam, I made this
[Chorus: oksurf]
Them hoes tryna copy
But you been in yo' duffle (Bag)
Said you don't need nobody
It come with too much trouble (Trouble)
Tryna go upgrade you but you on a different level
I go presidential, then upgrade yo' bezel
Girl, I think you— (Girl, I think you—)
Girl, I think you special
Girl, I think you different
But you don't know you pressure
You so far ahead but you don't think you special
Girl, I think you—
Girl, I think you pressure
[Verse 1: oksurf]
Movin' way too fast, you might lose direction
Prayin' for some peace of mind, you could be my blessing
So far from the regular, you on a different level
Two hands on yo' body, tryna see where this shit headed
Two hands on yo' body (Body)
Take it slow
You don't need nobody
I already know
She think I got (Options)
I don't care 'bout them hoes
She fine like Nicki
'Ge à, tryna bring you close
Pull up, 2 A.M., you wan' be keepin' them curtains closed
I know about yo' passport, I'm not the type to go
Go upgrade yo' life
I just went through coach
Girl, just let me in
I'm tryna play my role
[Chorus: oksurf]
Them hoes tryna copy
But you been in yo' duffle (Bag)
Said you don't need nobody
It come with too much trouble (Trouble)
Tryna go upgrade you but you on a different level
I go presidential, then upgrade yo' bezel
Girl, I think you— (Girl, I think you—)
Girl, I think you special
Girl, I think you different
But you don't know you pressure
You so far ahead but you don't think you special
Girl, I think you— (Girl, I think you—)
Girl, I think you pressure
[Verse 2: Destin Laurel]
Two hands on yo' knees
One hand on yo'— okay
Girl, I know you special

Don't say that I'm mean
I just want you on my level
You put it on [?]
You put it on forever
I did it once again, pray to God I'm okay
Don't tell me that you scared, I'm here for ya
I told you that I care but it's best to show ya
You doin' too much talking, now baby, I'm makin' you watch it
Let's fuck 'round and give me the keys to the room
Baby, don't make me a target, hmm
She and her gave me that good brain [?]
I'm ready to spend a check on yo' ass just like Verizon
Don't worry 'bout money and prices
I'm givin' you all that I got
[Chorus: oksurf]
Them hoes tryna copy
But you been in yo' duffle (Bag)
Said you don't need nobody
It come with too much trouble (Trouble)
Tryna go upgrade you but you on a different level (Woah)
I go presidential, then upgrade yo' bezel
Girl, I think you— (Girl, I think you—)
Girl, I think you special
Girl, I think you different
But you don't know you pressure
You so far ahead but you don't think you special
Girl, I think you—
Girl, I think you pressure
