[English]
Oh, oh (Hitmaka)Oh, oh
Yeah (sup?)
(OG Parker)
See the way you're showin' out, girl, I can't tame you (tame)
I can't blame you, yeah (blame)
You know the way to pose, you know, you know your angles, oh-oh (straight)
I can't tame you, I can't tame you (yeah, Wale, yeah)
I can't (ooh), I can't change you, oh (yeah)
Internationally known on this microphone
Holyfield, Ross crib, we at Tyson's though
Lonely nights, I'm alright, I can vibe alone
So don't be tired if I'm quiet, no inquiring though
I know your angles, way back them bitches saw your bracelets
Cartier, stack 'em for days, look like Thanos
You sayin' the universe ain't grateful (grateful)
I put infinity stones on all your fingers
Generous when I got, feelings for who I got
Feelings for when I'm not, feeling you, girl, I'm not
Dealin' with other feelings, I feel that you fear a lot
'Cause I be in my feelings, I'm givin' you what I've got (run it back)
Maybe I'm on your page, maybe I got your heart
Maybe I can't love you 'cause I don't know where to start
Ain't chasin' your potential, potential ain't enough
I guess I am what I am, but you are who you was, what's up?
See the way you're showin' out, girl, I can't tame you (tame)
I can't blame you, yeah (blame)
You know the way to pose, you know, you know your angles, oh-oh (straight)
I can't tame you, I can't tame you (you look good, girl)
I can't (ooh), I can't change you, oh (said you look good)
Okay, this energy's givin' me sex symbol
Pose for me, girl, I think I'm the best with you
Pose for me more, I think you're the best for me
Now pose, when I'm done, and credit your ex nigga
Hey, you petty, you flex different
You know I be the plug, the one that connect with you
Now go up in these stores and tell 'em who mess with you
You know I'd take you home, but now your address different (woo)
I ain't trickin', we clickin'
And I ain't trippin', you sippin'
Reposado could sit where I say my sentences
I be with Hood, Chris and 'em other slimes
It's young Folarin, I've been poppin' back when Poppin' came out
I be like, "Shorty, shorty, put that shit on and take a pic, I bet you catch a body"
Six hundred fifty, I pull up, they gon' one-eighty to us
They gon' be hatin' on us
But you be straight, then I be straight, and ain't no angle to it
Let's do it, woo, ay Chris
See the way you're showin' out, girl, I can't tame you (tame)
I can't blame you, yeah (blame)
You know the way to pose, you know, you know your angles, oh-oh (straight)
I can't tame you, I can't tame you
I can't (ooh), I can't change you, oh
