[English]

I'm facing the bottle

For all of my problems

These Instagram models

Are nothing but trouble

She's going away now

I'm going full throttle

All these Instagram models

I said they're nothing but trouble

Uh, when I met her she was out for love

Yeah, I bought her leather and some diamond studs

Damn, when I met her she was molly'd up

Fuck it, I said "Whatever" cause I'm not a judge

No, all my niggas say she's not what's up

Uh, I considered it but not enough

Uh, she just wanted to be popular

Uh, she just wanted ten thousand followers

Oh, she posted, she posted, she posted

They like it, they like it, repost it

She party promoting, she hosting

She posing, legs open, provoking

It got my head smoking

I tried to act like I don't notice

Emotions, emotions, emotions, Lord

I'm facing the bottle

For all of my problems

These Instagram models

Are nothing but trouble

She's going away now

I'm going full throttle

All these Instagram models

I said they're nothing but trouble

I had to leave that ho alone

And get my mind right

I had to go talk to my friends, I had to find Christ

Lord I had to, open up my eyes and find light

I was so green and all she wanted was that limelight

Lord I, was so blinded by her highlights

She had me not checking my Dm's

Neither my likes

Oh what, you modeling ma? Knock yourself out

Open my heart to you when you lock yourself out, girl

When I met her she was posse'd up

In the section holding bottles up

She just wanted to be popular

She just wanted ten thousand followers

I should have known from the very start

That you weren't after my foolish heart

No, you liar, liar, liar girl

You got the world thinking you're a star

But oh, you're not who you say you are

I'm dying, dying, dying, girl

I'm facing the bottle

(I'm sipping and lighted and dipping in line

But I'm coping)

For all of my problems (I'm too open)

These Instagram models (Glad I left her)

Are nothing but trouble

(But I don't know her Lord)

She's going away now (Now it's over)

I'm going full throttle (You drive me crazy)

All these Instagram models

I said they're nothing but trouble
