(La-la-la-la)

(Incoming)

(La-la-la-la)

I woke up like this, feeling like a weight just lifted

I don't know what it is, but I swear to God I love this shit

Look in the mirror, there ain't nothing clearer

So take off your filter, bitch

What you gon' do with that? (Yeah, yeah)

Anything I want is in my reach, yeah, I like that (yeah)

Unapologetic when I creep, yeah, it's like that (yeah)

All the flashing lights, they follow me, yeah, I like that

(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah)

Full throttle crashing through the gate when I ride out (yeah)

Quick to judge a book by the front, inside out (yeah)

Never cared what you thought then, why should I now? (Yeah)

(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah)

Undress me on the way to perfection, yeah

Underneath, finally found what's been missin'

When I take it off

I know I love me more

With no filter, filter, ooh-ooh

With no filter, filter, ooh-ooh

No filter, uncensored

When I take it all off, I love me more

With no filter

I found it under it all

Simple and so beautiful

Go 'head and judge me

Nothing can touch me when I take it off

Undress me (undress me) on the way to perfection, yeah

Underneath (underneath), finally found what's been missin'

When I take it off

I know I love me more

With no filter (filter, filter, filter, filter)

Ooh (filter, filter, filter, filter)

Ooh (filter, filter, filter, filter)

With no filter (filter, filter, filter, filter)

(Filter, filter, filter, filter)

(Filter, filter, filter, filter)

With no filter (no-no, no-no), filter (no-no, no-no), ooh-ooh

With no filter (no-no, no-no), filter (no-no, no-no), ooh-ooh

No filter, uncensored (ooh)

When I take it all off, I love me more

With no filter

(La-la-la-la)
