"Initiation"

Oh yeah

Got you drinking out them white cups, sodas

All this shit sounds foreign to you, thick smoke, chokin'

Baby get familiar with the order

Just crack it, then pour it, then sip slow, then tip low

My eyes red but my brim low, that XO, she climbing

Straight to the top, forgettin' why she there in the first place

No more crying, heart rate slow, put that rum down you don't wanna die tonight

I promise, when you're finished we'll head to where I'm living

The party won't finish, it's a fucking celebration, oh yeah

For my niggas out tonight

Ah, and they high off Shakespeare lines

There's enough to pass around, you don't gotta wait in line

And the clocks don't work, you don't gotta check the time

And the blinds don't work, you don't gotta check the sky

We be going all night, 'til light

I got a test for you

You say you want my heart

Well, baby you can have it all

There's just something that I need from you

Is to meet my boys

You've been going hard, baby

Now you rolling with some big boys, baby

Got a lot you wanna show off, baby

Close that door before you take your fucking clothes off, baby

Don't mind

All my writings on the wall

I thought I passed my peak, and I'm experiencing fall

And all I wanna do is leave 'cause I've been zoning for a week

And I ain't left this little room, trying to concentrate to breathe

'Cause this piff so potent, killing serotonin

In that two floor loft in the middle we be choking

On that all black voodoo, heavy gum chewin'

Go on if you testing, baby if you dancin'

Grab a cup of that XO, baby I been leanin'

Back from the come down, girl I been fiendin'

For another round, don't you blame it on me

When you're grinding up them teeth

And it's fucking hard to sleep

I got a test for you

You said you want my heart

Well baby you can have it all

There's just something I need from you is to meet my boys

I got a lot of boys

And we can make you right

And if you get too high

Baby come over here and ride it out, ride it out

Work that back till I tire out

Roll that weed, bring that fire out

Taste that lean when you kiss my mouth

Bed so wet when I eat you out

Girl's friend screaming that I'm creeping out

If they're not down, better keep 'em out

Ex-man hollering, keep him out

Hard to let go, I could teach you how

Take a puff of this motherfucking weed for now

Take a shot of this cognac, ease you out

Just one night, trying to fuckin' leave you out

Baby, baby

I got a test for you

You said you want my heart

Well baby you can have it all

There's just something that I need from you is to meet my boys

I got a lot of boys

And we can make you right

And if you get too high

Baby come over here and ride it out (ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah)

Ooh yeah

Come over here and ride it out (ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah)

Ooh yeah

(That north north, that up top, that OVO and that XO) oh

(That north north, that up top, that OVO and that XO) ooh

(That north north, that up top, that OVO and that XO) ah yeah

(That north north, that up top, that OVO and that XO) X-O

(That north north, that up top, that OVO and that XO) ooh yeah

(That north north, that up top, that OVO and that XO)

(That north north, that up top, that OVO and that XO)

(That north north, that up top, that OVO and that XO, that)
