[English]

You got the right one

You got the right one

I just really hate you

All that game you've been runnin'

Now it's time that I played you

And why I let you do me

Like doors wide open, you ran right through me

But you done found the right one, nigga

Fuck you, and all that

Blast on Twitter, then I'm a blast back

You want a ratchet, then I'm a be that

Don't make me call my boys and have yo shit peeled back

Oh, you really don't know how you're makin' me feel

You make me wanna kill a man

Oh, you really gon' make me show you how I feel

You got the right one, nigga

You got the right one

You got the right one

Damn, I really hate you

I'm a say it again, 'cause the truth is I made you

Now you out here frontin'

When you was just beggin' me

In the rain

Down on your knees, tryin' to explain

See you know, I know the truth, but still you wanna go there?

You got the right one, nigga

Fuck you, and all that

Blast on Twitter, then I'm a blast back

You want a ratchet, then I'm a be that

Don't make me call my boys and have yo shit peeled back

Oh, you really don't know how you're makin' me feel

You make me wanna kill a man

Oh, you really gon' make me show you how I feel

You got the right one, nigga

You got the right one

(Now you gon' see who I'm dealin' with)

You got the right one

(Now you gon' see who I'm dealin' with)

You got the right one

(Now you gon' see who I'm dealin' with)

You got the right one

Don't wanna make up, don't wanna be homies

And when you see me act like you don't know me

You think you fly, you think you grown

Ever since I left, you been callin' my phone

You ain't never gon' find another chick like me

You ain't never gon' find another chick like me, no

Fuck you, and all that

Blast on Twitter, then I'm a blast back

You want a ratchet, then I'm a be that

Don't make me call my boys and have yo shit peeled back

Oh, you really don't know how you're makin' me feel

You make me wanna kill a man

Oh, you really gon' make me show you how I feel

You got the right one, nigga

You got the right one

(You thought you got away, but I got your back)

You got the right one

(That's why you lost the game and I laughed at yo black ass)

And that's the end

Leave it there
