[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
