Ladies, it's your song
So as soon as this come on

Gon' and get your sexy on
If you know that you better

Seen you on your Love & Hip Hop, Mendecees
"F-f-f-f*ck these petty niggas" is a bitch motto
If I say it on wax, every bitch follow
If I'm sippin' in the club, Myx Moscato

Hit him with the back shots
Hit him with the ass shots
Take him to the bank then I hit him with cash shots
I do it big, I hit him with the caps lock

Big fat titties when they hangin' out my tanktop

Say "f*ck these petty niggas"
If these niggas did you wrong
If he got a new bitch
Then tell that bitch meet you outside
And pop her like a molly
Tell them bitches recognize
Winnin' (I'm out), I'm winnin'
The end and the beginnin'
I send them on an errand
Then I send them like my children (children)
You couldn't get a fan
If it was hangin' from the ceilin' (I'm out)
