[Chorus]
Old school, 90’s shit, throwback know the shit
Came for a ride bitch, I’ll be on that Trojan shit
Old school, pimping shit, you be on that drama shit
Cash money, hot boys, might just be on fire shit

August Alsina sets the scene of a house party where he captivates the attention of everyone around him. His confidence and charisma are palpable as he asserts his presence in the music industry.

[Verse 1]
In the back, drinks, smoking shit, too many girls in here
To be stuck on you I got this whole city locked this year
Hands in the air everywhere
Lil momma tell me to move, don’t be scared
In the back, drinks, smoking shit, too many girls in here
To be stuck on you I got this house sitting locked this year
Hands in the air everywhere
Lil momma tell me to move, don’t be scared

Throughout the song, August Alsina emphasizes the importance of living in the moment and taking risks in love. The pre-chorus highlights the idea that both parties in a relationship have a role to play, and love requires equal effort from both sides.

[Pre-Chorus]
Two could play the game, two could play the part
To you were the words that I said from my heart
Two way be the street, too late won’t come
Cause today is the day that our two become on, I’m on that

In the second verse, August Alsina addresses a confrontational situation where someone displays a negative disposition. He encourages embracing positivity and turning any challenges into opportunities for growth. The lyrics demonstrate his belief in combating negativity with love and perseverance.

[Verse 2]
Shots fired ’cause you bad, oh no, you can’t get mad
You came with that attitude and I came with this grocery bag
Light up the sky and get high
I’m pulling something outchea tonight

The final verse features a collaboration with Juvenile, adding a distinct voice to the song. Juvenile’s rap verse boasts confidence and highlights the pride they take in their success. It is a testament to their journey and the unapologetic pursuit of their dreams.

[Verse 3: Juvenile]
I mean it when I tell it to ya
I’m close in person, ain’t no need for me to yell it to ya
I hear you talking, you ain’t saying nothing
Well see you can’t just put out a fire, let’s just spray something
You niggas softer than Vienna, homes
I got the juice, just know my chopper can a hoe
We showing off so turn the cameras on
Me and my niggas in there wilding with bandanas on
