[Verse 1: L-Swift]
Yo, this type
Of shit, you might kick back to, relax, you and your niggas puff
A twenty-sack to, niggas with systems could blast through
The streets to wherever you chills at, relax your mind at
Spend all your time at, recline at. I design raps carefully
For your listening pleasure. Whatever’s clever better just so
You could vibe with, get live with. I lived through life, hoping
I could survive it, so I rock until the break of dawn. It’s like
“Bonita Applebum”—”baby, you gotta put me on” because
I see what you see, but you will never see what I see ‘cause
What I see is too complex for you to find, so you could get
With that or you could get with this, but I recommend you get
With this ‘cause this is where it is, so if you’re in the place
[Hook 2 (Overlapped with Hook 1): L-Swift]
Clap your hands to the funky sound ‘cause it’s
The L (Yeah!), and this is how it’s going down for
Women in the front and the fellas in the back
Get with this, and, homeboys, get with that like
Clap your hands to the funky sound ‘cause it’s
The L (Yeah!), and this is how it’s going down for
Women in the front and the fellas in the back
Get with this, and, homeboys, get with that

[Verse 2: L-Swift]
You feel
The vibe as my words relax your mind. L-Swift controls your every
Body part enough to make a party start (Where?) in The City
That Never Sleeps as you enjoy the night scene (With who?) with a lady
Liquor and Alizé in ice, fiend. My vision
For dollars could take over my soul and mind ‘cause I came back
To let you know I clutch your mind and never let you go ‘cause, with clippers
You couldn’t fade me (Crazy), so just relax with a Moët
And kick it with your lady as you stay free as a bird
In the sky. You ask me why, but, kid, I be struggling
For dollars until I die (Why?) ‘cause you could get with that
Or you could get with this, but I recommend you get
With this ‘cause this is where it is, so if you’re in the place (It goes)
[Hook 2 (Overlapped with Hook 1): L-Swift]
Clap your hands to the funky sound ‘cause it’s
The L (Yeah!), and this is how it’s going down for
Women in the front and the fellas in the back
Ladies, get with this, and, homeboys, get with that, just
Clap your hands to the funky sound ‘cause it’s
The L (Yeah!), and this is how it’s going down for
Women in the front and the fellas in the back
Ladies, get with this, and, homeboys, get with that, y’all

[Verse 3: L-Swift]
As soon as
I lay my lyrical corruption, take instructions, learn
Your lessons. Microphones I’m blessing (No question), so lay back
(Stay back) When L be flexing this, fellas, just get with that
And, ladies, get with this. Microphones? I be blessing it. Whether
You’re at the crib or at the club site, (relate with me), just cruising
(Relate with me) Through the city in your 850 (You’re safe with me) ‘cause, lyrically
(You’re safe with me) I swell up foes. When I develop flows, I school
You’re chilling with Charlemagne, sipping on a B&J cooler, but get
With that or you could get with this, but I recommend you get
With this ‘cause this is where it is, but, yo, my pen be tapping
Paper, busting flavor. To all the people in the house
I’ll catch you later. But, for now, I think you should
[Hook 2 (Overlapped with Hook 1): L-Swift]
Clap your hands to the funky sound ‘cause it’s
