Quotable Lyrics:
Shortie in a baggie shorts and her body Babylon
Come on and tell me what you want from me
Bless my ****, no more baby baby
Ah they wanna, they wanna drive me crazy
Say don’t wanna, why your love so basic
Living la vida loca, ehh
All of my heart pain
I gave it all away
Living life in Jamaica, ehh
Me I know
That I will make it on my own
