[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen
It's my pleasure to introduce to you
The beautiful Ayra Starr
[Verse 1]
How far?
Some ice with my lips on a cup
Sauced up
I don dey see the love, do you?
So many eyes in the room (Room)
But I got my eyes on you (On you)
Tell me what a bitch gon' do
To get you, uh
[Pre-Chorus]
It's something that you are
It's nothing that you say
It's just the way you say it
I'm giving you a way in
[Chorus]
I'm lit tonight
You know my lips don't lie
I want you to take control
Right now (Right now, right now)
I'm lit tonight
You know my lips don't lie
I want you to take control
Right now (Right now)
[Verse 2]
One move and your body rock (Rock)
Chest tattoo and your body chop
I've been breakin' rules and you got me turnin'
I need you, yeah, yeah
Don't let the night come to an end
I've been dirty mixin' again
Turn it up, I'm on ten, baby
Uhn-uhn
[Pre-Chorus]
It's something that you are
It's nothing that you say
It's just the way you say it
I'm giving you a way in
[Chorus]
I'm lit tonight
You know my lips don't lie
I want you to take control
Right now (Right now, right now)
I'm lit tonight
You know my lips don't lie
I want you to take control
Right now (Right now)
[Bridge]
One shot and you give me the up
Tonight we making it bounce
Move in and move it around
La-da-le-de-di-di-da
One shot and you give me the up
Tonight we making it bounce
Move in and move it around
La-da-le-de-di-di-da
[Outro]
Let me hear you say, "Go Ayra, go Ayra, go"
Go Ayra, go Ayra, go
Let me hear you say, "Go Ayra, go Ayra, go"
Go Ayra, go Ayra, go
