Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Ran down on that bitch twice

Ran down on that bitch twice

You know me I be with whatever

If a bitch beef with me we gon' beef foreva

Ran down on that bitch twice

Ran down on that bitch twice

You know me I be with whatever

If a bitch beef with me we gon' beef foreva

Why you always tryna run and hide

Always have my name up in your mouth you outta line

You gon' make me pop up at your door like surprise

Like come outside lil bitch, come outside

Never by my lonely got my niggas by my side

And all my niggas "skrr, skrr" yeah they down to ride

Yeah my bitches go to work, I'm talking 9 to 5

The streets want to fuck around you won't stay alive

Your man can cross you and I make sure that you pay the price

So don't be lacking when you coming home from work at night

You run your mouth I poppin out now it's on sight

You gon' be just like my pussy hella tight

A hoe can hate but don't be fucking with my commas

And if she is I'll shape her up and she gon get the line up

Can't be starting all these problems if you cannot solve them

Cardi backing down I swear to God that's not an option

Ran down on that bitch twice

Ran down on that bitch twice

You know me I be with whatever

If a bitch beef with me we gon' beef foreva

Ran down on that bitch twice

Ran down on that bitch twice

You know me I be with whatever

If a bitch beef with me we gon' beef foreva

Some bitches claim they with the shits but they ain't with a thing

I spend the block come around like a boomerang

Silence, silence, I don't hear a thing

Worry about me but your pussy smell like turtle tank

I pull up on that check nothing less that's all I do

10 bands 50 bands ain't nothing new

I see some people who still worried about my revenue

I'm eating good you wish you could don't worry about my food

And niggas hating on a female ain't no way to live

You bitch made make me wonder if you got a dick

How you feeling like a man envying a chick

Wake up and go get some money, go and find your niche

Silly muthafucka, who raised you?

A nigga with a pussy how disgraceful

I have my hittas come and duck tape you

And your bitch could get it too double date boo

So let's get it, so let's get it,

So let's get it, let's not waste a minute

You clearly started so let's finish

I don't do beginners they take your kindness for a gimmick

I'm just here for business

I'm running down and I'm with it

Ran down on that bitch twice

Ran down on that bitch twice

You know me I be with whatever

If a bitch beef with me we gon' beef foreva

Ran down on that bitch twice

Ran down on that bitch twice

You know me I be with whatever

If a bitch beef with me we gon' beef foreva
