Lyrics
[Intro]
(MC, make another hit)
[Chorus: Lil Uzi Vert]
I don’t even know what she said ’cause she foreign (Let’s go)
Yeah, she foreign
And she got endurance
Like the way she ‘forms
Is she gon’ perform it?
Look the same in morning? (Woah)
She don’t stop, keep going (Keep going)
I don’t even know what she said, but this what I hear in my head
[Refrain: Lil Uzi Vert & Indila]
Il, il n’est pas fou (Huh?), il l’aime c’est tout (What?)
Il la voit partout (Wait), il l’attend debout (What she say?)
Debout une rose à la main (Yes), non, non plus rien ne le retient (Oh, and she start breathin’ like)
Dans sa love story (Woah)
Dans sa love story (Let’s go)
Dans sa love story
Sa love story (Then she switch the pace up)
[Verse: Lil Uzi Vert]
Okay, I really do get you
What I make in a day, what they make in a life
Is it ’cause that I’m paid, you tryna stay the night?
You keep rubbing all on my face, make me feel I’m your type
I guess that we on the same page ’cause I’m just tryna strike (Okay, I really do get you, woah)
What I make in a day, what they make in a life
Is it ’cause that I’m paid, you tryna stay the night?
You keep rubbing all on my face, make me feel I’m your type
I guess that we on the same page ’cause I’m just tryna strike (Woah)
[Refrain: Lil Uzi Vert & Indila]
Il, il n’est pas fou (Huh?), il l’aime c’est tout (Keep goin’)
Il la voit partout (Woah), il l’attend debout (What she say?)
Debout une rose à la main (Go), non, non plus rien ne le retient (Ah, ah, ah)
Dans sa love story
Dans sa love story
Dans sa love story
Sa love story
[Chorus: Lil Uzi Vert]
I don’t even know what she said ’cause she foreign (Let’s go)
