[Verse 2: Nipsey Hussle]
Okay,✦ look, check it out
Nipsey,✦ when I pull up to the club up on them chrome things
I'm crispy,✦ shining from my wrist to my gold chain
Anywhere✦ I go, I keep it hood, I never✦ change
If it ain't up on my lap, got it stashed in the Range
Bang, bang, I'm getting bread on arrival
Private jet, anywhere✦ I tell him he gon' fly to
My respect had these girls saying, "Daddy✦ I do
Anything you ask," get it crackin'✦ when I slide through
With God as my witness, right hand on the bible
In Tokyo,✦ honey✦ turned✦ it up, arigato
Got stroked fa sho, now up in Atlanta in the strip club
She thick, cuz, took me to the SWATS, where the crib was
Went full throttle, got crackin',✦ I ain't bashful
From the kitchen to the countertop, in the bathroom
Flips mo', trips mo' stamps on my passport✦
Told her drop me off at Hartsville,✦ I'm international✦
[Chorus: ?]
(Hey girl)
I can tell that you want it
By the way your dancing✦ on the floor
(Hey girl)
By the look in your eyes
I can tell you want some more
(Oh girl)
Don't worry✦ bout it just keep doing what you do
(Hey girl)
Girl tonight✦ you can be
International✦

(Ohh, International)✦
[Verse 3: Young Dre]
It's Mr. Hoodnational,✦ rider✦ with a passport✦
Just landed✦ from Paris✦ homie pick me up, I'm at the airport
With two bottles of Moet and a bottle of Port
Can we, get something poppin'✦ 'cause tomorrow got court
So of course I'm ready✦ to get it, feel it going down right now
Hopped✦ in the whip, popped✦ the bottle, lit a blunt right now
Did about✦ a buck-fifty, seconds later,✦ the party✦ right now
We celebrating Makaveli✦ - 2Pacalypse Now
Escape✦ through the front door, they shootin' up on tippy✦ toes
Cruisin' up to get the dough
If you lose a chick then let her go
She done chose, it's over,✦ bro
Look around, it's Harleyville✦
Dimes✦ in high heels came from Japan✦ to go to Cali to chill
They choosin' for real with no grill in my dental✦
Peep, my swagger tremendous, make moves✦ monumental
It was me, three mamis,✦ E-40 and 'Pac
At the Le Mondrian after✦ party,✦ it just don't stop
[Chorus: ?]
(Hey girl)
(Ooh, riders)✦
I can tell that you want it
By the way your dancing✦ on the floor
(Hey girl)
By the look in your eyes
I can tell you want some more
(Oh girl)
Don't worry✦ bout it just keep doing what you do
(Hey girl)
Girl tonight✦ you can be...International✦
(Ooh, rider's)✦

Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly AABB end-rhyme structure with heavy emphasis on internal multisyllabic clusters (e.g., crispy/wrist to/gold chain). The scheme relies on assonance and flow rather than complex multi-layered wordplay.
