[English]

I'm smiling on the inside

I feel that I have a responsibility to the fashion community

Woke up feelin' like Posh Spice (nasty)

Only wear black and I'm not nice (nasty)

Get what I want, I don't ask twice

Look good, but I'm still the bad guy (yeah)

Mean stare, got resting bitch face

I'm real as fuck, but my tits fake (so?)

Every bad bitch wanna kiss me

Wanna know how my man dick taste

Ooh, that's triflin', you faded, I might be

Cool, I'm icy, my neck froze, they bite me

Give no fuck, bitch, I'm Posh Spice

Fill my cup, bitch, I'm Posh Spice

Brand new truck, fuck the stoplight

Brand new truck, fuck the stoplight

Cold out, fit, bitch, I'm Posh Spice

I'm that bitch, call me "Posh Spice"

Got us some' for the highlights

Got us some' for the highlights

Wrist so loud so I don't talk much

Black high heel, when I walk, I strut

Stone cold bitch tried to call my bluff

Sharks in the pool 'cause I'm rich as fuck

Here's a couple quid, if you really broke (yikes)

Might've said sorry, not really, though (nice)

Sex tape, let's make a video

Send a private link on Vimeo

Ooh, that's triflin', you faded, I might be

Cool, I'm icy, my neck froze, they bite me

Give no fuck, bitch, I'm Posh Spice

Fill my cup, bitch, I'm Posh Spice

Brand new truck, fuck the stoplight

Brand new truck, fuck the stoplight

Cold out, fit, bitch I'm Posh Spice

I'm that bitch, call me "Posh Spice"

Got us some' for the highlights

Got us some' for the highlights

I'm hot (ooh-ooh)

Welcome to my world, I'm spicy (ooh-ooh)

Welcome to my world, bitch, I'm spicy (ooh-ooh)

Welcome to my world, I'm spicy (ooh-ooh)

Welcome to my world, bitch, I'm spicy

Ooh, that's triflin', you faded, I might be

Cool, I'm icy, my neck froze, they bite me

Give no fuck, bitch, I'm Posh Spice

Fill my cup, bitch, I'm Posh Spice

Brand new truck, fuck the stoplight

Brand new truck, fuck the stoplight

Cold out, fit, bitch, I'm Posh Spice

I'm that bitch, call me "Posh Spice"

Got us some' for the highlights

Got us some' for the highlights
