'The Thrill' Searching for the thrill of it, thrill of it, Say that it's love, but to me it's looking counterfeit, I get done with one and move on to another b**** Yea college educated, she graduated Any bill she can't front, her parents paid it The show was far, you the only one with a car And your girlfriends, bein that she's a big fan, of course she made it Most girls wanna hide the fact that the thrill they chase it But you, tonight you wanna get drunk and f*** someone famous So I just name a time and a place and your game for it Value player, hotel room, meet you there [ I'm stoned This is what, mix tape number 6? 7?
