Quotable Lyrics:
- Weekend, we go (Ah-woo)
- Pray you keep up (Nah-woo)
- [?], press time (Ah-woo)
- Oh-oh, already know we be lit when we roll (Woo!)
- I wanna be in your rearview, for sure
- I know they know that we whip when we roll
- ‘Cause I’m in the kitchen mixin’ up dough
- I know they know we be lit when we roll
