You got me
I fell for your trap
See I was out buying Chanel bags
I was too focused on materialistic things
While I was doing that you turned up your swag, you got me
You took advantage of my lack of attention
Yup, call me slippin forget your hustle on, shawty I ain't trippin
You may have caught me off guard, but I'm not bothered
I been in the game since '03
I have been in the music industry for a long time
You can try but you still can do it like me
You can try to copy my style, but you will never match up to me
I hate it when they talk about me
I dislike negative gossip about me
But I love it when they talk about me
I enjoy positive attention and praise
I got a lil too prissy, I didn't expect y'all twisted tryna get me
I underestimated the lengths people would go to try and bring me down
But I'm a need that you can gone write y'all blog
You can write whatever you want on your blog, it won't affect me
I don't need y'all feedback
I don't require your opinions or comments
See I was on the red carpet when I shoulda been in the studio lay it down hot chick
I was focusing on fame and appearances rather than my music
Madder than a motherfucker, I can lie a bitch madder than motherfucker
I'm extremely angry and would even lie to express it
Better than a motherfucker, been up all night like UPS trucker
I'm exceptional and have been working hard like a UPS driver
Back up on my job, I'm back up in the track
I'm back on my game and back in the music world
Shawty give me that

Back in my Corsetto, got me taking off these five inch stiletto's
I'm back in my natural element, comfortable and ready to work
Back up out my phantom
I'm done with my luxurious lifestyle
I'm back up in my jeep, back up in the streets
I'm back to my roots and ready to take on any challenges
Hey, hey, I'm all fired up
I'm highly motivated and ready to succeed
And tell you aunt for me I'm all wired up
Let your aunt know that I am highly energetic
Please no pictures, up off of my Twitter
I don't want any photos and want no trouble on social media
I'm back up on my shit
I'm back in control of my life and career
And when I see the stage, I'm a black black dad
On stage, I am completely myself and dominant
I'm a black black dad I'm a black black dad
I am confident, strong and dominant when I'm on stage
I shoulda listen to myself
I should have heeded my own advice
Before I let you in, I shoulda warn myself, tell me again and again, I should've cautioned myself
I should have been more careful and cautious before letting you into my life
Before I fell in love with you, but I just pushed myself, that's what lovers do
I allowed myself to fall in love with you, even though I knew it was risky
Picking up the pieces of my heart, I'm tired of lovin' you in the dark
I'm done trying to love you in secrecy and in the shadows
I wish I coulda seen, what you had planned for me
I regret not seeing your true intentions earlier
Fancy clothes and fancy cars
I was seduced by luxury and material goods
We go that far but turned to misery
We achieved so much, but it led to severe unhappiness
When you don't go basic instinct
When you ignore your intuition and instincts
Yeah o yeah
A simple expression of excitement
