I pushed all of your buttons (oh, oh), still wasn't workinโ€ฒ (still wasn't workin')
When you walk, it was bloody (oh, oh), like somebody hurt you
Christian Louboutin, rockinโ€ฒ (oh, oh), YSL perfume (YSL perfume)
Way too good for me (way too good for me), I donโ€ฒt deserve you
Be free, be free, be free (uh)
Be free, be free, be free
Be free, be free, be free, yeah
Be free, be free, be free

I wasn't a trick but I showed you all of my tricks
I know you was lit, I would pull up in a seven
And you would pull up in a six
Big money shit, heard you grew up in the Hills
I grew up on a Bridge
I grew up in the mix, feelinโ€ฒ uncomfortable still
I can't ะตven talk to my friends about how itโ€ฒs been

Montana got caught sellin' crills
It hurt to tะตll him how it feels to touch all these Ms
Do what you want โ€ฒcause you still thinkin' 'bout me
Even though you fuckinโ€ฒ with him
Feel like you need company still, I ainโ€ฒt your enemy, girl
I am you friend, look
Let's do it over again, again, again

I pushed all of your buttons (oh, oh), still wasnโ€ฒt workin' (still wasnโ€ฒt workin')
When you walk, it was bloody (oh, oh), like somebody hurt you
Christian Louboutin, rockinโ€ฒ (oh, oh), YSL perfume (YSL perfume)
Way too good for me (way too good for me), I don't deserve you

Be free, be free, be free (free)
Be free, be free, be free
Be free, be free, be free, yeah
Be free, be free, be free

Don't know how to say this, ainโ€ฒt easy in person
But, girl, this ainโ€ฒt workin'
You think I be flirtinโ€ฒ so you went out flirtin'
I bought you that Birkin, you bought you a shirt
I hope it was worth it, I know you think
I know you think Iโ€ฒm crazy, but I'm not a
Not a regular person, I donโ€ฒt do Mercedes
Unless it's a Maybach, the one with the curtains

My flex is your favorite and I ain't one
Ainโ€ฒt the one you should play with but havinโ€ฒ trouble
Findin' someone to stay with and who you know
I go half on a baby with, girl you know
All we needed was patience, you feel a way
I wish you would just say that shit, girl you know
Girl, I wish that you would say that shit
While youโ€ฒre with your friends and not alone

I pushed all of your buttons (oh, oh), still wasn't workinโ€ฒ (still wasn't workinโ€ฒ)
When you walk, it was bloody (oh, oh), like somebody hurt you
Christian Louboutin, rockin' (oh, oh), YSL perfume (YSL perfume)
Way too good for me (way too good for me), I don't deserve you

Be free, be free, be free (free)
Be free, be free, be free




Be free, be free, be free, yeah
Be free, be free, be free
