Last night I let the party get the best of me
Waking up in the morning, two hoes laying next to me
Plus I heard an officer arrested me
Good weed and cold drinks, that's the motherfucking recipe
Nigga and we roll deep, so deep
It's going down in this bitch, concrete
We gon' party all night, no sleep
Tell the owner them is all my guys
So tonight everything is on me

The drinks is on me
The bitches, the hotel,
The weed is all free
Get high, I mean so high
We don't see the whole suite
Then we goin' fly to a level
Where you goin' need yo' own key
T.G.O.D.

No driving, no sleeping
Live it up like it's the weekend
When the D.J. play the right song
Gonna drink, gon' party all night long
No driving, no sleeping
Live it up like it's the weekend
When the D.J. play the right song
Gonna drink, gon' party all night long

Leaving from the club now she wanna stay with us
Came to spend it all, don't care what I'm paying for
Used to be too young, now I'm out here buying the bar
Every time I look up, it's another red cup
Bunch of niggas in the game but they ain't playing with us
They just paying enough
Man them niggas ain't ballin' they just laying it up
Saying they does, I'm just rolling hella weed up
While on my way to the club
I had to wait at the club
But now I don't cause everything is on me

The drinks is on me
The bitches, the hotel,
The weed is all free
Get high, I mean so high we see the whole street
We fly I mean so fly we need a whole wing
T.G.O.D.

No driving, no sleeping
Live it up like it's the weekend
When the D.J. play the right song
Gonna drink, gonna party all night long
No driving, no sleeping
Live it up like it's the weekend
When the D.J. play the right song
Gonna drink, gonna party all night long

Party all day, party all night
Say you wanna party lets party alright
I, party all day, party all night
Say you wanna party lets party alright
I, party all day, party all night
Say you wanna party lets party alright
I, party all day, party all night
Say you wanna party lets party alright
I

No driving, no sleeping
Live it up like it's the weekend
When the D.J. play the right song
Gonna drink, gonna party all night long

No driving, no sleeping
Live it up like it's the weekend
When the D.J. play the right song
Gonna drink, gonna party all night long

Party all day, party all night
Say you wanna party lets party alright
I
