Verse 1:
Some of them men
Think they freak this like we do
But no they don't.

Make your cheque come at they neck.

Disrespect us, no they won't.
Boy, don't even try to touch me.
Boy, this beat is crazy!
This is how they made me.
Houston, Texas baby.
This goes out to all my girls
That's in the club rocking the latest.

Who would buy it for themselves and get more money later.

I think I need a barber(barber).

None of these b****** can fade me (fade me).

I'm so good with this

I remind you I'm so hood with this.

Boy I'm just playing.
Come here baby.

Hope you still like me
F you pay me.

My persuasion can build a nation.
Endless power our love we can devour.
You'll do anything for me.

Taking over the world
Help me raise a glass for the college grads.
Forty-one roll and to let you know what time it is, cheque!
You can't hold me!

Getting it in you on your grind.

To other men that respect
What I do please accept my shine.

Boy you know you love it
How we smart enough to make these millions.

Strong enough to bear the children
Then get back to bidness.

See, you better not play me
Oh come here baby.

Who run the World Girls - Beyonce's song it's illuminati and freemasons Eve's theory of Alien 👽 witchcraft to make the World miserable for Satan . Witchcraft has language that's evil or wicked .
Illuminati leaves on the space ship on the Moon and you can get there with an crystal glowing life change into a species . Their ceilings is called a zinc metal where Heaven doesn't exits . Only the evil atmosphere is God . Where all people can and speak only one language that's electronic language Satan
