I need a hit from that Garcia Vega I need a lift but I'll come back later Build our goals so we can both can see how we can build together lets build our goals so we can both can see how we can last forever Don't let it lead to a sabotage, no Don't let it lead to a sabotage, no Don't let it lead to a broken heart, Don't let it lead to a sabotage. Doing what I gotta do to cake up Gpen Vapors, bags full of make up How easy one would think it'd be to pack up and break up but the moments we survive is what places us on top let me ride let me ride let me ride on top and make it pop pop pop for you let me seduce you i'll let you tap tap tap it for me and whisper you need me Don't let it lead to a sabotage, no Don't let it lead to a sabotage, no Don't let it lead to a broken heart, Don't let it lead to a sabotage. I need a hit from that Garcia Vega I need a lift but I'll come back later Build our goals so we can both can see how we can build together lets build our goals so we can both can see how we can last forever Don't let it lead to a sabotage, no Don't let it lead to a sabotage, no Don't let it lead to a broken heart, Don't let it lead to a sabotage. Haters can hate but they can't break us living life to love smiling chasing paper let me give you my all open up my heart give you my trust cause there is no other one that has my heart on lock let me ride let me ride let me ride on top and make it pop pop pop it for you let me seduce you i'll let you tap tap tap it for me and whisper you need me Don't let it lead to a sabotage, no Don't let it lead to a sabotage, no Don't let it lead to a broken heart, Don't let it lead to a sabotage.
