Light the incense (Incense), not to mention (Mention)
Skin like whiskey (Whiskey)
She's cold like on the rocks (Rocks)
La, la-la, la, la-la, la, la
I'm still low, smokin' zaza
Light the incense, lose the tension, feel like Heaven
Lust mixed with a vodka
La, la-la, la, la-la, la, la
Feelings get lost in the lala (Here we go, haha, we in business)[Verse 1: Swae Lee & Alicia Keys]
Happy but you're unhappy (We in business)
Shorty you're so valid
I'm ready when you're ready (Ready)
Don't you know eyes can be so deadly?
Try not to think but you made me
It's just a cheap thing, baby (Baby)
Now all in my satin sheets, you're layin' (Layin')
Walk through the door, there you were
Bought you Louis, Fendi, etcetera
Woman, you should've told me, you were dangerous
Woman, you should've told me, you were medicine (Here we go)[Pre-Chorus: Alicia Keys & Swae Lee]
Put it on me, like you said you was
Fell so hard like you said you was
Love out of this world, out of this nebula
It's best to just put you on my schedule[Chorus: Swae Lee & Alicia Keys]
Light the incense (Incense), not to mention (Mention)
Skin like whiskey (Whiskey)

It's just a cheap thing, baby (Baby)
All in my satin sheets, you're layin' (Here we go)[Pre-Chorus: Alicia Keys]
Put it on me, like you said you was
Fell so hard like you said you was
Love out of this world, out of this nebula
It's special, put you on my schedule[Chorus: Swae Lee & Alicia Keys]
