Man I can understand how it might be

Kinda hard to love a girl like me

I don't blame you much for wanting to be free

I just wanted you to know

...

Swizz told me let the beat rock

For all my Southside niggas that know me best

I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex

Why? I made that b***h famous

I made that b***h famous

For all the girls that got d**k from Kanye West

If you see 'em in the streets give 'em Kanye's best

Why? They mad they ain't famous

They mad they're still nameless (Talk that talk, man)

Her man in the store tryna try his best

But he just can't seem to get Kanye fresh

But we still hood famous (God damn)

Yeah we still hood famous

...

I just wanted you to know

I loved you better than your own kin did

From the very start

I don't blame you much for wanting to be free

Wake up, Mr West! Oh, he's up!

I just wanted you to know

I be Puerto Rican day parade floatin'

That Benz Marina Del Rey coastin'

She is Puerto Rican day parade agin'

Last month I helped her with the car payment

Young and we alive, whoo!

We never gonna die, whoo!

I just copped a jet to fly over personal debt

Put one up in the sky

...

The sun is in my eyes, whoo!

Woke up and felt the vibe, whoo!

No matter how hard they try, whoo!

We never gonna die

I just wanted you to know

Bam bam, bam bam

Bam bam dilla, bam bam

'ey what a bam bam

How you feeling right now? Let me see your lighters in the air

Bam bam dilla, bam bam

Bam bam eh

Bam bam, bam bam

Let me see your middle finger in the air

Bam bam, bam bam

Bam bam dilla, bam bam

Let me see you act up in this mother****er

'ey what a bam bam

Bam bam dilla, bam bam

How you feelin', how you feelin', how you feelin' in this mother****er, god damn

Bam bam

One thing you can't do is stop us now

Bam bam, bam bam

Bam bam dilla, bam bam

You can't stop the thing now

'ey what a bam bam

Man it's way too late, it's way too late, it's way too late you can't **** with us

Bam bam dilla, bam bam

Bam bam, bam bam

Bam bam, bam bam

To the left, to the right

Bam bam dilla, bam bam

I wanna see everybody hands in the air like this

'ey what a bam bam

Bam bam, bam bam

Bam bam dilla, bam bam

I just wanted you to know

I loved you better than your own kin did

From the very start

I don't blame you much for wanting to be free

I just wanted you to know
