[Intro: Tinashe]
Woah

[Verse 1: Tinashe]
Sometimes I can’t, but I’ve been told I need to breathe
This life ain't something for someone like you and me
We just get caught up in the things that we don't need
Plenty time wasted, what are we waitin' for?
Searching for something in someone without a soul
Running in circles 'cause I suck at letting go
Starting to feel like there's no chance of breaking through
Plenty time wasted, what am I waitin' for?

[Chorus: Ms. Banks & Tinashe]
Drink, smoke, dance, vibe a little bit
Fuck, change, ride, die a little bit
Drink, smoke, dance, vibe a little bit
Fuck, change, ride, die a little bit

[Post-Chorus: Kudzai Kachingwe & King Kachingwe]
(Who like to, who like to) Now, when you go to the ground
(Who like to, who like to) Make sure that you pump your heels
Please, pump your heels (Who like to, who like to)
If you do it stick-footed (Who like to, who like to)
You'll never get so far (Who like to, who like to)
Who like to party?

[Bridge: Tinashe]
Who got the room, I take what I like
Who got, who got the smoke I like to get by (Smoke)
I need enough to last the whole time
To last the whole night, to last my whole life
Who got the room, I take what I like
Who got, who got the smoke I like to get by (Smoke)
I need enough to last the whole time
To last the whole night, to last my whole life

[Verse 2: Ms Banks]
I rock the party that rock your body (Uh)
In that Givenchy and Cavalli (Uh)
Step up in the dance, these niggas they're on me (yeah)
I want that white, that rum Bacardi
'Cause it's been a long night (Uh)
But it ain't light (Uh)
You've been uptight (Oh)
Finna get right (Uh)
Wanna let go, party 'til the sunlight (Uh-uh)
Want a big bag, wrist on frostbite
I came, I saw, need a encore (Yeah)
I do the dash, pedal to the floor (Uh)
I'm a hustler (Mm), and a tough nut (Mm)
Talking top tier (Mm), they ain't made the cut (Haha)
I shell, ain't talkin' seashores
I been 'bout my shit, I barely get bored
Money callin' then you know I'ma go
Got the whole front row screaming
"Gimme some more", uh

[Interlude: Kudzai Kachingwe & King Kachingwe]
Bam! Do you want more? Yeah
You do? Yeah
Who like to, who like to
Who like to, who like to
Who like to, who like to
Who like to party?

[Chorus: Tinashe]
Drink, smoke, dance, vibe a little bit
Fuck, change, ride, die a little bit
Drink, smoke, dance, vibe a little bit
Fuck, change, ride, die a little bit

[Outro: Kudzai Kachingwe]
I'm gonna show you what it's like to dance
This is probably my favorite part because
You just get to be free

Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe, known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, and former model born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Born on February 6, 1993, her rise to fame began with her acting on shows such as Two and a Half Men. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners—which also featured Hayley Kiyoko—she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”.

On February 18, 2019, Tinashe parted ways with her longtime record label RCA. By November that year, she inked a new management deal with Roc Nation and self-released Songs for You, her fourth studio album.
