What are the lyrics to BMF by SZA?

Here are the lyrics to SZA's new song BMF:

Young and fine and dark and handsome

The boy from South Detroit keep bossing, and

I can't keep my panties from dropping

He's so fly, fly

Going too fast, don't hurt yourself

I can't keep up with all the lies you tell yourself

You kinda cute, but play too much, don't play yourself

I'm not the one, but we can still pretend this can be my man

You say you feel different when you with me, tell me anything

Compliment my energy, it's different laying next to me

All I ask is don't make me pull up and get to dumping

You know I can't give no f*cks, you know I'm with all the ruckus, can you?

Young and fine and dark and handsome

The boy West side of Compton came walking in

I can't keep my panties from dropping

He's so fly, fly

Ooh, he bossy, ooh, he Crip walkin'

Took me to Slauson and he sl*t me out

And when I got a problem, he get to packing

He 'bout all that action, call him Mr. Handle It

You know I'm hella different from them chickens you been trickin' on

I can be your ride or die, get down your strongest bone

Trust me, boy, I'm good in every hood

Trickin', finna fall in backwards

I'm just tryna show you what it would be like if you my man

Young and fine and dark and handsome

The boy from South of somewhere came walking in

I can't keep my panties from dropping

He's so fly, fly

Blowin' money fast, it won't last

Shorty won't make it last, ooh-oh

Blowin' money fast, we might crash

I'll make it last, we'll be-, oh-oh

Ecstasy is just a pill away

Pop it up or you could screw today

I'm just tryna hear you say my name

Love to play your ruler, be your Jane

You could be my Tarzan, toss me up

Other h*es is lacking, call me up

Know my baby packing, why I'm stuck

That's why he my man

Young and he fine and he tall and he handsome

Talkin' so fine, I might hold it for ransom

Put it in drive, I'm not shy, I might let ya

Cruise all night

Blowin' money fast, it won't last

Shorty won't make it last, ooh-oh

Blowin' money fast, we might crash
