Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Ain't tryna be nobody hero, you know

My heart is three below zero, below

Saint Laurent and quarter water

Show me you could really be your momma's daughter

'Cause I ain't tryna be nobody hero, you know

My heart is three below zero, below

Gucci slippers girl, you poppin', you know

The way you look I know you got them niggas flocking

And you got them Rihanna dreads

Now you deserve a nigga with a Kawasaki, ooh

Saint Laurent and quarter water, you know

Show me you could really be your momma's daughter, oh

I ain't tryna be nobody's hero, you know

My heart is three below zero, below

You know I like them ratchet bitches, you know

You know I tell her suck it first, she ask permission oh

You know I make 'em all audition, oh

Four naked bitches, this is new edition, oh

I was out here riding 'round, you know

I was only jugging on my part of town, oh

I'm gon' need you quiet now, oh

Know you see me balling, don't go out of bounds, oh

Saint Laurent and Corvo water

Show me you could really be your momma's daughter

'Cause I ain't tryna be nobody hero, you know

My heart is three below zero, below

Girl, you got a bright future

Damn, you look nice girl, the lights suit you

I prefer you naked

If you're headin' good you'll make a nice tutor

I don't mean no disrespect, you know

But I prefer Shaniqua over Lizabeth

Me I like the ratchet bitches

Only hit her once a year that's after Christmas

Saint Laurent and quarter water, you know

Show me you could really be your momma's daughter, oh

'Cause I ain't tryna be nobody's hero, you know

My heart is three below zero, below

Saint Laurent and quarter water, you know

Show me you could really be your momma's daughter, oh

'Cause I ain't tryna be nobody's hero, you know

My heart is three below zero, below

...

Three below zero, you know

...

Three below zero, you know

...
