But all that shit you doing just be sloppy
And they gon say that illuminati

Am in the building you ain’t in the lobby
So where your man now?
I do understand you ain’t got that
But I know that you got stacks
So when I throw them bands at you throw them bands back
[Chorus:]
Baby girl me finer
Wearing averything designer
Gucci, Fendi, Prada
Baby girl no get wahala
She don’t need no maga
No dey run p for your matter
And everything she need
She can get it one time no banter
