Balloon Lyrics

[Intro: Luke & Rob Base]
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(I wanna rock— I wanna rock— I wanna rock— I wanna rock— I wanna rock—)
(Don't stop—)


[Verse 1: Tyler, The Creator & Luke]
Yeah, we ain't talkin' to your dumb ass
You could be a millionaire and still be a bum ass
Boy, I been in a dream, I been on the—
(Don't stop, do-don't stop—)
(Okay, look) Why I work so hard? My soul profit
Why I can't settle down? I like options
Why I hate small talk? I like topics
House shoppin', I'm a pig, I love coppin', ugh
No BBLs, I like A-cups, ugh
Long legs, pretty when they wake up, ugh
Niggas run they mouth, bro, the race up
Everything real here, no lace front, okay
Like bells during December, I sleigh
I don't even like girls, bitch, I'm way up, too hot
Bitch, I'm on my own dick, I don't need your box, ugh
Fuck them regrets (Ugh), call them and get all that weight off your chest (Uh)
Got my brothers here, we the Wayans
Not my only girl, but you my favorite
I've been flyin' high, where's the pavement?
Pray for me, can I get an amen?
[Bridge: Daniel Caesar, Luke & Doechii]
(Don't stop—) Don't stop
(Don't stop—) Don't stop
(Don't stop—) Don't stop
(Don't stop—)
I'll air this bitch out like a queef
I'll send your ass back to the streets
I'll spray your whole block with le FLEUR*

He gon' eat this pussy up 'cause it's sweet

[Outro: Daniel Caesar & Bonita Smith]
(Ayy, ayy, ayy) Don't stop
(Ayy, ayy, ayy) Don't stop
(Ayy, ayy, ayy) Don't stop
(Ayy, ayy, ayy) Don't stop
(Ayy, ayy, ayy) Don't stop
(Ayy, ayy, ayy) Don't stop
Don't stop
