[English]

Fake bitch, how dare you try and diss me?

And try kiss me and say you miss me

Lookin' back, I really would've done things different

Baby, you're bad, bad, bad

You feel like bad, bad, bad

I hope this pillar don't come from no bad batch

My polish Nina, make shit get sticky in my city

With a blicky with me and she great

A bit insecure but she pretty to me, yeah

Baby, you're bad, bad, bad

You feel like bad, bad, bad

I hope this pillar don't come from no bad batch

She said, "C and S, you don't love me no more, should we just be done?"

She said, "C and S, you don't love me no more, should I go my mom's?"

She said, "C and S, you don't love me and I'm not the one"

She said, "If you don't wanna hold me down, you gotta let me run"

She told me, "Pull 29 right there, I'm 'bout to come"

Can't take dick good but she'll die right here when I use my tongue

I got a whole team full of savages that's gonna turn them rasta

Tell me, what's the point in soldiers if they ain't gonna use their gun?

Fake bitch, how dare you try and diss me?

And try kiss me and say you miss me

Lookin' back, I really would've done things different

Baby, you're bad, bad, bad

You feel like bad, bad, bad

I hope this pillar don't come from no bad batch

My polish Nina, make shit get sticky in my city

With a blicky with me and she great

A bit insecure but she pretty to me, yeah

Baby, you're bad, bad, bad

You feel like bad, bad, bad

I hope this pillar don't come from no bad batch

Yeah, she said if you love me, why you always run?

My heart is covered in gold, baby, I'm one of them ones

And I pulled up covered in chrome, baby, that's one of them ones

A day in a trap for a week, just to look like B

Gotta shout out some of my sons

Hundred armies, twenty-threes

Milli in seven hell of fiends

Fuck this head, you gone where the lean?

Fuck with the bitch, go lay at BE's

She cookin' inside, look like gelatin

So everything, bitch, I ain't sellin' me

I need eight hundred lows, it's ready, please

Fake bitch, how dare you try and diss me?

And try kiss me and say you miss me

Lookin' back, I really would've done things different

Baby, you're bad, bad, bad

You feel like bad, bad, bad

I hope this pillar don't come from no bad batch

My polish Nina, make shit get sticky in my city

With a blicky with me and she great

A bit insecure but she pretty to me, yeah

Baby, you're bad, bad, bad

You feel like bad, bad, bad

I hope this pillar don't come from no bad batch
