We get fucked up way before the party
Turnt up, hotel lobby
Fast life like a Ducati
Spending money like I'm from Saudi
Bagging bitches with the bad bodies
See me cooling with the black barbies

I don't think you're ready for it
(Hey) party like a pro, baby, I don't gotta train for it

Up in this bitch and we so lit
Oh my God, oh my goodness
Feel good, 'cause I'm sipping on good shit
Two drinks, got two fists
Three chicks, got two, four, six tits

(Hey) wait a second, wait a minute
Take you to the next level
(Hey) turn up the bass, turn up the tre-treble
(Oooh) party like an animal, party like a re-rebel
