She call me Tec, she call me T (oh, oh, oh)

Bitch, I been blessed wherever I be

This shit Armageddon if you with me

We gettin' checks, yeah, we gettin' fees

Had to finesse and keep the receipts (for real)

We playin' catch with thirty at least (yeah)

I keep a hundred, that's on me

Playin' them games, don't D-I-E (D-I-E)

Come back to bed.

Yeah, eye for an E-Y-E (E-Y-E)

We love you, Tecca.
