After Last Night (with Thundercat & Bootsy Collins)
One, two, make you wanna uh!
Yeah, yeah, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, now
Have you ever been with a player
Take you downtown where they treat me like the mayor
Take you to the crib we can take it upstairs
(What’s upstairs?)
Shiiii, Imma show you later
Don’t need a spatula everything’s catered, extra flavor
Go head, sprinkle some truffle on your mashed potatoes
I’m tryna love you
Is you gon love me back?
You only get what you give
Aint you heard of that?
(Look here), I don’t ask for much
(You know what I want)
I just want what’s fair
(Huh!)
I’ll bring that fire and desire baby
All you gotta do is meet me halfway there (Uh)
I deserve to be with somebody as fly as me
Somebody this fly
And you deserve to be seen
With somebody as fly as me
Somebody this fly
Awwww don’t let em trick you with the jibb talk
Ok now Silk Sonic smooth like a mack
Float like a butterfly on every single track
And the only language that I speak, girl, is facts
So once I give this game to you I can’t take it back
Hollerin at you from a 1977 Monte Carlo
Hard act to follow
It’s showtime trynna boo you up like it’s the Apollo
Your walk is vicious
Let’s get down to business
You and me together
Ooo, that’s something different
Ooo, come on
I don’t ask for much
(I really don’t girl)
I just want what’s fair
(Ha! Look here)
I’ll bring that fire and desire baby
(All you gotta do is this)
All you gotta do is meet me halfway there (Uh)
I deserve to be with somebody as fly as me
Somebody this fly
And you deserve to be seen
With somebody as fly as me
Somebody this fly
Now for real I’m gonna need y’all to understand
Let’s get it
If you don’t know what we talking bout
Imma have the whole band help me spell it out
Yeah, if you don’t know what we talking bout
Class in session, here’s your lesson, help me spell it out
F (F) L (L) Y (Y)
You aint never seen nobody this
FLY
It’s like we back in school again
Now come on children Im spellin
F (F) L (L) Y (Y)
You aint never seen nobody this
FLY
And I’m gone
I deserve to be with somebody as fly as me
Somebody this fly
And you deserve to be seen
With somebody as fly as me
Somebody this fly
Oh, and I’m back
Somebody this fly
Ya, I’m looking for somebody
I can’t help it, I want it all
Silk Sonic
