Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Yeah

I been here waiting lookin' at 'em

Tryna catch up take it how you wanna take it

Left the place in panic

Left to take another planet

Left to make another statement

XG baby say the names right

Spell it out so u can learn it

You can smell the tires when they turnin'

You can smell the fire when it's burnin'

You can tell we all made it work for us

Made it but we had to work for it

Work work work so perfect

That it hurt don't it? surf on 'em

Right away ride the wave ride away

Cause we had the right of way

Bye bye bye flying past then we fly away

Into outer-space

Drop top in a coupe outside

When I hop up out of this plane

Look at my fit right now

When I just walked outta my bed

Fix my hair and fix my make up on the way

Bound to the next stop

Bound for the great

Make 'em bow down to the X (uh)

A little more than ordinary honorary

Underestimated leavin' all you broke

I'm the judge and jury I don't wanna hear it

I'm the one they fearin' keep it on the low

This is automated I'm the motivator

Told my haters "Yo more the merrier"

Y'all my entertainment fascinated

I'm just laughing cuz it's so hilarious

Little girl with a big mouth uh

Small group with a big house yeah

Big watch on the wrist now uh

I just thought of that flow now just now

Put a little more down for the buss down

Went on tour on a bus and tore the bus down

Everything custom now

Fans rushin' out

Security had to push me out

48 laws of power

Little girl with a big motor on a kid tho mhm

Watch me rip tho

Watch me snap like motorola flip phone mhm

I don't wanna hit you this hard on a intro

Bring that bounce like 64

Find me in tokyo rappin' in a skirt

Are you catchin' my drift tho

Woke up lookin' like this

So don't get under my skin

Woke up lookin' like this Like this

Woke up lookin' like this

So don't get under my skin

Woke up lookin' like this Like this

Light flex go easy

Drop a pin or addy

That's where I'll go

Rip the show and that's all I know

I'm super visioned

Y'all just built on superstitions

Watch me do

Everything everywhere

All at once all the time

All around the world

Woke up lookin' like this
