I want some new nails
New bundles
New boobs
You know, hmm
Everythin' brand new, bitch
You know what the fuck this is
Why spend my money, when I could spend your money?
Hahaha

Way too cocky in the coupe feelin'- (brand new, ha)
Always in the press, why this bitch actin'- (brand new, yeah)
Spent one-fifty on a Prezi and it's-
(Brand new, brand new, brand new, brand new)
Nigga, don't touch (yeah)
Smell like money and we smokin' on- (brand new, uh)
Honey in her pack, keep the B's waxed (brand new, tss)
Hermรจs bag got my bitch actin'-
(Brand new, brand new, brand new, brand new)
AP bustin'

A lot of niggas had a chance, they was unlucky (yeah)
When it's so long, we don't even discuss it (nah)
Say you got hoes pullin' up, I don't trust it (shh)
Burn through the money, diamonds dance like Usher (ice)
You ain't gotta like it, but my bitch gon' love it (love it)
All about cake, got a mill' in the oven (I'm cookin')
Birdman hands, all this paper I'm rubbin'
(Brand new, brand new, brand new, brand new)
Bitch, cry for me, like brand new onions

Way too cocky in the coupe feelin'- (brand new, ha)
Always in the press, why this bitch actin'- (brand new, yeah)

These diamonds be talkin' in they sleep
You know not to test me, like SAT
They pay me like Riri, A-S-A-P
Hotter than AZ, cool as an AC
Yeah, my diamonds gon' sing, like do-re-mi
Yeah, my diamonds gon' dance, like my bro CB
And I pop two X, that's dos Nicki (brand new, brand new)
Yeah, brand new money, brand new hundreds
Got a bunch of zeros, like a bag of new Funions
Brand new phone with a brand new number
On some brand new shit, need a brand new plumber (brand new, brand new)
I'ma be her brand new black cucumber
Love brand new, fat pockets lookin' like love handles
Brand new hoes
Come and snort this Michael Jackson, get a brand new nose, bitch

Line by Line Meaning

This here is on some truthful shit
I'm about to be real with you


It seems like everything I do, you're used to it
You've seen it all before so I'm worried I'm boring you


And I hate hearing stories 'bout who you been with
It hurts me to know about your past lovers


That's when I gotta hide what I'm feeling inside
I feel like I can't express myself freely


So you still think I'm confident, and damn
I don't want you to think I'm weak


Is this gonna last?
I'm afraid this won't work out


You're up on a pedestal, are we moving too fast?
I feel like you're already ahead of me in this relationship


Feel like I'm in crazy competition with the past
I feel like I have to compete with your past relationships


That's why I gotta ask
This is why I'm bringing this up


Is anything I'm doin' brand new? (Brand new)
Do I bring anything new to the table?


Brand new (brand new), brand new (brand new)
Is anything about me different?


Girl (ayy, ayy, ayy)
Hey, I'm talking to you


This here is something personal
I'm speaking from the heart


I highly doubt this feeling is reversible
I don't think I can just change how I feel


Knowledge is pain and that is why it hurts to know
I can't help but think about things I know that hurt me


That you attempt to hide and put mistakes aside
I know you try to hide your flaws and mistakes


So I don't ever question you, and damn
I don't want to make you feel bad by asking about it


I can't even find the perfect brush
I can't seem to express myself right


So I can paint what's going through my mind
I want you to know my true feelings


Racing 'gainst myself, but I'm a couple steps behind
I feel like I'm not quite where I need to be in this relationship


Did he take your clothes off just like this?
I want to know if your ex treated you the same way I do


Did he give you loving just like this?
Did he treat you as well as I do?


Did you spend the night in his bed on the very first date?
I want to know the details of your past relationships


Tell me baby, am I too late?
Is there anything I can do to make up for what you've experienced before?


Show me if this is brand new (brand new)
Prove to me that I'm different


(Is anything I'm doin' brand new?) New (brand new) oh
I want to know if there's anything I can improve on


Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm really hoping you'll be honest with me
