I'm always up, ain't got a ante

I ball hard, don't ever owe them like Lamy

Ayo, these bitches lucky that I still ain't find a nanny

All of them is my junior, Sammy, uh

They know I pop up like jump rope

I-if the queen sleeze put a bag on it, then it's gun smoke

So we ain't playin' on the internet

I got bigger fish to fry, that's why I got a bigger net

(Once I had a love and it was a gas) tried to play me but I shitted on 'em first

(Soon turned, out had a heart of glass) I stole his heart and then I put it in a verse

(Seemed like the real thing, only to find) he caught feelings when I rode it in reverse

(Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind) these bitches mad I did better and first

When I go, I can't take the money with me

Gotta keep a hitter 'round, they tryna get me, woah

Who real or fake, sorry, baby, I don't know (baby, I don't know)

They don't know me, but they always judgin' my life

They can't tell me who to love or fuck, it's my life

They gon' talk about me whether I'm wrong or I'm right

I don't need no more drama in my life

My life, my life, my life (my life)

My life, my life, my life

My life, my life, my life (my life, my life, my life)

Ai-ain't no prints on the jammies

But he'll still tuck that ass to sleep like your mammy

I pull strings without the hammy

Bunch of jealous bitches, but I know the real bitches hear me

A bitch hot, come fan me

A-and that ass still sittin' so I know they can't stand me

Sexy bitch, but my money real manly

Sealed your fate if you ever hated on the family (Mm)

(Once I had a love and it was a gas) tried to play me but I shitted on 'em first

(Soon turned out, had a heart of glass) I stole his heart and then I put it in a verse

(Seemed like the real thing, only to find) he caught feelings when I rode it in reverse

(Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind) the bitches mad I did better and first

When I go, I can't take the money with me

Gotta keep a hitter 'round, they tryna get me, woah

Who real or fake, sorry, baby, I don't know (baby, I don't know)

They don't know me but they always judgin' my life

They can't tell me who to love or fuck, it's my life

They gon' talk about me whether I'm wrong or I'm right

I don't need no more drama in my life

My life, my life, my life (my life)

My life, my life, my life

My life, my life, my life (my life, my life, my life)

Once I had a love and it was a gas

Soon turned out had a heart of glass

Seemed like the real thing, only to find

Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
