[English]

Why men great 'til they gotta be great?
Wooh
I just took a DNA test, turns out I'm 100% that bitch
Even when I'm crying crazy
Yeah, I got boy problems, that's the human in me
Bling-bling, then I solve 'em, that's the goddess in me
You coulda had a bad bitch, non-committal
Help you with your career, just a little
You're supposed to hold me down
But you're holding me back
And that's the sound of me not calling you back
Why men great 'til they gotta be great?
Don't text me, tell it straight to my face
Best friend sat me down in the salon chair
Shampoo press, get you out of my hair
Fresh photos with the bomb lighting
New man on the Minnesota Vikings
Truth hurts, needed something more exciting
Bom-bom-bi-dom, bi-dum-bum-bay
You tried to break my heart
Oh, that breaks my heart
That you thought you ever had it
No you ain't from the start
Hey, I'm glad you're back with your bitch
I mean who would wanna hide this?
I will never ever ever ever ever be your side chick
I put the sing in single
Ain't worried 'bout a ring on my finger
So you can tell your friends, "Shoot your shot"
When you see 'em
It's OK, he already in my DMs
Why men great 'til they gotta be great?
Don't text me, tell it straight to my face
Best friend sat me down in the salon chair
Shampoo press, get you out of my hair
Fresh photos with the bomb lighting
New man on the Minnesota Vikings
Truth hurts, needed something more exciting
Bom-bom-bi-dom, bi-dum-bum-bay
I'ma hit you back in a minute
I don't play tag, bitch I been it
We don't fuck with lies
We don't do goodbyes
We just keep it pushing like aye, aye, aye
I'ma hit you back in a minute
I don't play tag, bitch I been it
We don't fuck with lies
We don't do goodbyes
We just keep it pushing like aye, aye, aye
Why men great 'til they gotta be great?
Don't text me, tell it straight to my face
Best friend sat me down in the salon chair
Shampoo press, get you out of my hair
Fresh photos with the bomb lighting
New man on the Minnesota Vikings
Truth hurts, needed something more exciting
Bom-bom-bi-dom, bi-dum-bum-bay
(With the bomb lighting)
(Minnesota Vikings)
