Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who’s cooler than this, witch
Maneuver then dip, hip like the ruger this clip
Bitches Zooted and Sipped, I’m Suited and Zipped
Make a move or get skipped, sis ya “who it,” and hit
Like, who is this bitch?
Who was fooding this fish?
Take two of this tit D-do-do-dit dit
Keep grooving this bitch, like ya new with this pip!
Stay true to this shit
Mackin' moves in this bitch, whitey hoot for this sis
If these niggas is rich, if these niggas insist
I’ma dig ‘em and dip take a whiff of this mist
I’m used to this chip
Spit ya fluidest, bitch nigga, you could get bent
Remov-ed and spent
I’m a shoe in this shit shaker, you was just tricked
Perusing his dick
Come feud with this Fif, face two of this lit
He’s souping his drip, from the roof of this clit
Brrrrrrrr-brrrrrr-brrrrrr-brrraaaat
Bitch better quit that quit that chit chat
If you strapped nigga! dare you ta, dare you ta

People don't seem to realize that she cannot just throw away her attitude and make good music without it. The attitude is her drive, her energy, the attitude and the way she thinks is what makes her so talented and crafty.
@Calvini2013

@garurql
Amen
@Bamlittprogeny
