[Intro]
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
[Verse 1]
You dont ever mention sex
But I know you want to
With your bank account, you flexed
If you got me, I got you
How can we keep it alive?
No need for no chick on the side
Come pick me up in your challenger
Take care of me, I won't challenge you
[Chorus]
You dont fuck with no 9 to 5, no
Top down, we scream'n trap or die
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Aye
[Verse 2]
Your life is a trip, its a doozy
You talk'n bout choppas and uzis
You say you never going broke
You think if you do, you gone lose me
Having the best time of our lives
We're living like stoners on ice
You hit it cause you know whats good for you
And I'm here cause inside I'm hood for real
[Chorus]
You dont fuck with no 9-5, no
Top down, we scream'n trap or die
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
You dont fuck with no 9-5, no
Top down, we scream'n trap or die
Trappin, trappin, trappin
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah that's baby though)
(Oh that's my boo for sure)
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
(Rode him like a rodeo)
Aye

“[This song] comes from my experience … with guys that are in that trap-or-die lifestyle and loving them in spite of it, you know? Being in that moment when you’re with this guy who’s a ‘bad-boy’ and you’re like, ‘I love him. This is what it is, we’re riding out.’ ”
