Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty

This that pretty-girl mantra, this that flaunt you

Just touched down in L.A.

Pretty girls don't do drama, 'less we wanna

It'll be depending on the day

Pretty girls packed in a Defender, know I'ma defend her

Never let her catch no stray

This that pretty-girl mantra, she's that stunna

Make you wanna swing both ways

Mix me with the drama (drama)

Check you like commas (ah)

My clothes are pajamas ('jamas)

Straight from the cold plunge (hey) (ah)

Daytime baddie use her mind

Quick switch of the fit for the night (night)

Swerving through the lane, we'll be twenty-minute-late

'Cause we had to do an In-N-Out drive-by

It's not that deep (deep), I'm not that drunk (drunk)

Sometimes girls just gotta have fun

Throw it back, all that ass

Me and my sis, way too attached

It's not that deep (deep), we're not that dumb (dumb)

Look at them Bonnies on the run

Inside glowing like the sun (sun, s-)

You gonna feel us every day (day)

This that pretty-girl mantra, this that flaunt you

Just touched down in L.A.

Pretty girls don't do drama, 'less we wanna

It'll be depending on the day

Pretty girls packed in a Defender, know I'ma defend her

Never let her catch no stray

This that pretty-girl mantra, she's that stunna

Make you wanna swing both ways

Love what it feel like (feel like)

To be off of the grid, like, all night

Oh, with my bih like (bitch, like)

We ain't even tryna talk to no one

Swerve off all the creeps, no weird vibes

We ain't never let it ruin a good time

Ain't nobody gon' dim our good light

This them words we're living by

This that pretty-girl mantra, this that flaunt you

Just touched down in L.A. (ah)

Pretty girls don't do drama, 'less we wanna

It'll be depending on the day (ah, ah, ah)

Pretty girls packed in a Defender, know I'ma defend her

Never let her catch no stray (ah, ah)

This that pretty-girl mantra, she's that stunna

Make you wanna swing both ways (ah, ah)

This that pretty-girl mantra, this that flaunt you

Just touched down in L.A. (ah, ah)

Pretty girls don't do drama, no new drama

We already got a full day (ah, ah)

Pretty girls that you gon' remember, know that you could never

Nothing ever trigger me (ah, ah)

This that pretty-girl mantra, she's that stunna

Everyone know that she is me (ah)
