[English]

I won't be on my best behavior

I won't be on my best behavior

Still up, four in the morning, I'm right back

I'm finishing a record off of Don and spite that

Don't slow it down, I am running them right back

They bite back, from you, I learned that

I woke up in a puddle of cold rage

And I've been down by the bitch, it go both ways

And I got somethin' in my soul that my soul say

And I know so much that I just don't say

And this shit come off the lip, it's all envy you talk with me

It is odd to me, it ain't the robbery that bothered me

I saw plenty, you did plenty, I turned a cheek

But twice you do that shit, I dispatch

A bitch back, bitch mad off the dope end, I did that

One man down, I did that, I wouldn't've did that

I'm gon' be drinking like a sailor

I'll fuck your bitch in elevators

I'll ride that line thin as a razor

You won't wanna see me later

Won't be on my best behavior

Tonight, I'm gonna decimate it

My spite, don't underestimate it

Devious, I'm fucking dangerous

You won't wanna see me later

Won't be on my best behavior

I won't be on my best behavior

You on your worst behavior

Keep it cool, I'ma sex you later

Breathing like you need a respirator

Slow kissing on your neck and navel

Get on your knees, come and get what you prayed for

I gotta make you cum, ain't that what you came for?

You gotta use your head, that's what your brain for

I gotta fuck you good, that's what I trained for

You got drank in your cup, love in your mind

Sex in the mix, faith in your heart, drugs intertwined

Bad bitch, I had to put her in a timeout

I got deep, I guess you gon' have to climb out

I know you wanna dine out, but can you eat it right now?

Your nigga got you in a bad deal, I'm tryna buy him out

I know you like your wine 'cause soon as they bring that liquor out

I'm gon' be drinking like a sailor

I'll fuck your bitch in elevators

I'll ride that line thin as a razor

You won't wanna see me later

Won't be on my best behavior

Tonight, I'm gonna decimate it

My spite, don't underestimate it

Devious, I'm fucking dangerous

You won't wanna see me later

Won't be on my best behavior

I won't be on my best behavior

I won't be on my best behavior

I won't be on my best behavior, oh-oh
