[Intro]
Yeah

[Chorus]
Shawty, heard you bad... word? So profane
Somethin' like a bad, word, want your love
Call me when you can, girl
Goin' up, goin' down, in and out, turn around
Shawty, heard you bad... word? So profane
Somethin' like a bad, word, want your love
Call me when you can, girl
Goin' up, goin' down, in and out, turn around
Love the way you movin' now

[Verse]
I might be insane, yeah
But I love the pain, yeah
Feel it in the brain, yeah, oh

Realize she just want me hit it right
'Cause I get 'em goin' right

[Chorus]
Shawty, heard you bad... word? So profane
Somethin' like a bad, word, want your love
Call me when you can, girl
Goin' up, goin' down, in and out, turn around
Shawty, heard you bad... word? So profane
Somethin' like a bad, word, want your love
Call me when you can, girl
Goin' up, goin' down, in and out, turn around
Love the way you movin' now

Why is it so short? Is it because he died?
Genius Answer

More likely, it is done, along with most of the other songs on SKINS. X was known for short songs, which one can see on both ? and 17, where only two songs were over 3 minutes long (one with features of 3 people). He also stated in an audio posted on his IG story after his death, that his plan for the next album was to have even shorter songs.

When did X work on this - is it an older song?
