I, I 00:09
Up for hours drinking 00:26
Posted up, just reflecting on it 00:28
And I know you won't believe me 00:30
But babe, I'm cold and yeah, this life is cold 00:32
I say swear you won't come near me 00:34
Keep your heart 'cause I could fuck you up 00:36
Or have you never thinking clearly 00:38
Never thinking clearly 00:40
Have you all up in your feelings 00:42
Experienced, I did it times before 00:44
And I can see you from a distance 00:46
I could fuck you now and years later on 00:48
You gon' be stuck, just reminiscing 00:50
It's the way I ride you, let you stay inside 00:52
Yeah, I'ma fuck you like a vixen 00:54
There's something 'bout me (something about me) 00:56
Swear you see the good in me, But 00:59
That don't beat the hood in me, And 01:03
I got my intentions and use 01:07
Guess I'm make believe 'cause baby, I know, baby, I know 01:11
I, I'ma do you dirty 01:15
Say you love me now, but baby, it's too early 01:20
I, I'ma do you dirty 01:23
You think you love me now, I think you should be worried 01:28
Up for days, been rolling 01:35
Swear them bullets, don't regret the choices 01:37
That I made 'cause I'm still growing 01:39
Sign the deal and then they cut the check 01:41
And ever since, my color's showing 01:43
Change the scene, the things are better now 01:45
And you know the wave is never slowing 01:47
The wave is never slowing (The wave is never slowing) 01:49
I know that you will miss me 01:51
You liked it when I used to leave a wound 01:53
And promise I would come and kiss it 01:55
I fed you lies and you just ate 'em up 01:57
And I don't care to do the dishes 01:59
I ain't no wifey, ain't gon' hold you down 02:01
It's way more fun to be the mistress 02:03
I know I'm not like other bitches 02:05
Swear you see the good in me, But 02:07
That don't beat the hood in me, And 02:12
I got my intentions and use 02:16

[English]
I, I
Up for hours drinking
Posted up, just reflecting on it
And I know you won't believe me
But babe, I'm cold and yeah, this life is cold
I say swear you won't come near me
Keep your heart 'cause I could fuck you up
Or have you never thinking clearly
Never thinking clearly
Have you all up in your feelings
Experienced, I did it times before
And I can see you from a distance
I could fuck you now and years later on
You gon' be stuck, just reminiscing
It's the way I ride you, let you stay inside
Yeah, I'ma fuck you like a vixen
There's something 'bout me (something about me)
Swear you see the good in me, But
That don't beat the hood in me, And
I got my intentions and use
Guess I'm make believe 'cause baby, I know, baby, I know
I, I'ma do you dirty
Say you love me now, but baby, it's too early
I, I'ma do you dirty
You think you love me now, I think you should be worried
Up for days, been rolling
Swear them bullets, don't regret the choices
That I made 'cause I'm still growing
Sign the deal and then they cut the check
And ever since, my color's showing
Change the scene, the things are better now
And you know the wave is never slowing
The wave is never slowing (The wave is never slowing)
I know that you will miss me
You liked it when I used to leave a wound
And promise I would come and kiss it
I fed you lies and you just ate 'em up
And I don't care to do the dishes
I ain't no wifey, ain't gon' hold you down
It's way more fun to be the mistress
I know I'm not like other bitches
Swear you see the good in me, But
That don't beat the hood in me, And
I got my intentions and use
Guess I'm make believe 'cause baby, I know, baby, I know
I, I'ma do you dirty
Say you love me now, but baby, it's too early
I, I'ma do you dirty
You think you love me now, I think you should be worried
You want all my time but I don't got enough
Baby, I can put it down but I can't put it up
I got too much time to live, well I'm still way too young
I'm still way too young, yeah
I'ma do you dirty, I, I'ma do you dirty
Say you love me now, but baby, it's too early
I, I'ma do you dirty
You think you love me now, I think you should be worried
