[English]

It's been a while since you posted anything - Today you said you're single

It makes me sad - The stuff you find out, eh-eh

Real G4 Life, baby - I don't know why you left him (You left him)

I don't know why you left him (You left him), but

How bad you left him (Hahaha) - The guy you had, because (Baby)

I liked giving it to you (You know it) - Knowing you weren't mine and you were his

How bad you left him - The guy you had, because

I liked giving it to you - Knowing you weren't mine and you were his

I loved punishing you when he left the house - (Hahaha)

That bastard calling and me in your room dancing salsa

You have the revenge symptom and you're on me - the vampire strikes

Girl, keep on flirting - My flow never expires (Ey)

You want to flirt, you tell me you left him - I don't believe it

If you're a devil looking for a dance party - I'm crazy for your skin, you're wild with my street style

You want to flirt (Hahaha), you tell me you left him, I don't believe it

If you're a devil looking for a dance party

I'm crazy for your skin - You're wild with my street style (Hahaha)

(Real G4 Life, baby)

How bad you left him - The guy you had, because

I liked giving it to you - Knowing you weren't mine and you were his (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah; hahaha)

How bad you left him

The guy you had, because - I liked giving it to you (Huh!)

Knowing you weren't mine and you were his - (Ey, ey, ey, ey)

Ey, you like bad boys

I like the forbidden - Without hesitation, it keeps me hidden (No)

While your man was leaving, but - I'll still come see you, ey

Tonight I'm gonna hook you up - Tell me, baby, why aren't you with him anymore?

Or are you gonna get back with him?, eh - He likes to mess around in the car and he got caught

(Hehehe) - But I was the one who got to him

He said he was with Valery, lied again (Oh)

She got on top and smashed it - She gets it and he begs for forgiveness

Damn, damn, you gotta be ruthless - I dropped some wildness and shared it

I think he remembered when this dude felt it

How bad you left him - The guy you had, because

I liked giving it to you (Ey, ey) - Knowing you weren't mine and you were his (Ey, ey, ey)

How bad you left him

The guy you had, because - I liked giving it to you

Knowing you weren't mine and you were his
