(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Can I turn you on by my word's spell?
Look into my eyes think I want you, can't tell 
Me I keep it sexy, daddy so I can't fail 
Keep it gangsta for the cowards so I give 'em hell 
Call me misfit, lips spit a gang of trash 
Wrist glist now cause I make a gang of cash 
Light glance, still street with the do-rag 
Slang, spit game, change speech, how they do that?
Watch they mouths drop, watch the crowds pop up and act out
Broads with the screw face, smash on and knock out
Ain't changed game game around me, I run the game 
If I gotta keep it gritty so be it, I'm supposed to change 
Like simple, dizzy broads ain't messin' with my mental
Natural born hustlin' bitch check what I've been through 
Got mine took it from you, and now you slot mine
Exec to my own shit, dog I ownin' dot coms

[Chorus]

Yo, yo I can understand why you're scared of Eve 
Thought I did it one way, ain't prepared for me 
Huh, mad cause an image I don't care to be 
Realness, real shit, spit reality 
Attitude rude, that's the Philly in I 
Need me in the game, I'm the thrill in your life 
Breath of fresh air
Little boys hang me on their wall, I grow 'em chest hair 
Why you listening to other shit?
You go the best here
Come on try your luck shorty, I got the rest scared
Bet you anything you ain't ready and you get left there 
Ain't known for frontin' vouch for my behavior, 
Same way they get down I get down for this paper 
Sixteen lean from my pence so you can test her
Still need to know who I am then cop the record 
Take it like a class on me and learn the lesson
Bottom line my world, my way any questions 

[Chorus]

Uh, yo power moves is made everyday by this thorough bitch 
I'ma get this bank anyway that I do this shit 
I was born to shine while most of y'all was borderline bullshit
Know exactly what I want from me, you cats is clueless, 
Dispose the flow through my hands like water 
Heat starts growing from my son or my daughter 
Eve want her own cash, f*ck what you bought her 
He spend, you owe, that's what mommy taught her 
All ball is played, won't starve today 
Song after song I write so I get paid 
Thought I wasn't followin' up with the second round
Now bitch swallow it up while I shut it down 
Make em love me over again and over your name 
Betcha they get over your style and over your fame 
Why you lookign sad at me, I ain't the blame
Back to plan be	 baby I can feel your pain 

[Chorus]
