Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like that cherry pie baby let me get the fries,
Baby tell me what you waitin on,
Know you got a lotta pride,
Just let me slide,
Ooo that scent so lovely,
Sweetness like some candy,
Love what you wearing,
Damn you hold it down,
Know you got em by the caseload,
But every time they come around,
I really hope you say no,
I know it′s been a minute now,
Since the last time I seen you,
Hope you been good,
Play it down,
I gotta do 'cause you look too good,
Like ooo you gotta know how you so effortlessly make,
Me feel like I′m back in 7th grade that booty got me dazed,
She strong dog,
Chicana,
Got some thick legs and I love 'em,
She a hustla,
All she gotta do is snap her fingers,
I'll do Anything for Selenas
I′ll do anything for Selenas,
Anything for Selenas.
(Hook)
Como la flor,
Con tanto amor,
Me diste tu,
Se marchitó,
Me marcho hoy,
No se perder, pero
Tell him you gon′ leave him,
You don't need him he a puto,
He don′t do no fucking good around the house he never come home,
Always drinking with his homies,
'Til like 4 in the morning,
Now she yelling screaming ′hijo de su wtf I tell you?!' like,
She pretty but she loca,
She a chunti she a chola,
Put her hair up in a chonga,
She got your back when you ain′t got no feria,
She got like 3 boo thangs,
They know they ain't the only ones,
But she ain't a hoe though,
I think you just hella salty dog,
She go to school got a kid,
Wanna be treated like queen pay the bills,
Still got time to make her one a meal,
She a boss,
Independent ′bout her own shit
But still got time for everyone else,
It′s yo sister it's yo mother
It′s yo girlie it's yo lover.
(Hook)
