Gucci Mane:
It's Gucci
Fifth Harmony
Lauren:
I need somebody with some patience
'Cause you know I got a temperament
And yeah, you got a reputation
Nothin' that a little love can't fix
There ain't no kind of situation
Where I wouldn't cross a line for you
FBI interrogation
I would get up there and lie for you
Dinah:
When push come to shove
You show me love
When push come to shove, ayy

I'm gon' keep lovin' you

You the type that I could bake for (bake for)
'Cause baby, you know how to take that cake (cake, cake)
And I'm the only one you wait for

A gangster and his bride just walked in
We on the same team and we ballin'
Got me showin' off my ring like I'm Jordan
And I'mma hold you down like you hold me
And I'll never tell a soul what you told me
When I was sittin' in the cell is when you showed me
It takes a real one to put up with the old me
That's why you in the coupe with the low seat
That's why we at the game on the floor seats
My diamond that they seein' from the nosebleeds
You make a man feel like he won a trophy
