It's about that time again (okay)
You know what I'm sayin', it's about that time)
Check this out (uh-huh)
We got Eve in the buildin' (we got Eve)
That's right, people
We got Eve (E-V-E)
She gotta couple things to say to y'all (okay)
Teflon (uh)
Now I ain't never been the type to, not excite ya
Can't miss the vixen that meant you like her
Play ya position, just might invite ya
Party 'til the mornin' if she like ya
I ain't attracted to no lame dudes, don't wanna name a few
Don't lie either, so don't ask she might be namin' you
When I'm allergic to these corny bitches
Tryna start shit to end my freeze, I'm to up on my riches
Game been a part of me, dog, and I'ma keep winnin'
Never shoulda started me off, I love the way I'm livin'
And they wonder why she won't stop
Sit around monitorin' my sales, hopin' that my shit flop
Now that's the shit I like to laugh at
Obsessed with my every move, dummy, find a crash test
Every year I'm just a little wiser
And, yeah, it's still room left in the race, go 'head line up behind her
Yo, she got 'em like (E)
Everyday eatin' and takin' it to the (V)
Vixen, V-12 with systems (E)
Everybody keepin' it movin'
This double-R goin' hard
This is Eve-olution now scream, "E"
If you really ready we takin' it to the (V)
Vicious, spit flows ridiculous (E)
Say it like you know the letters
Bombshell and the glow's a fetish (uh, yo)
Now scream my name for me
I'ma hustle 'til I'm stacked up
Lot more to do when it's cool then I'ma pack up
Pass the torch along to someone else
But right now hold me down, little selfish thinkin' of myself
Took a long time to make it here
Before I make a move, I make a plan just so I can be prepared
Ain't no turnin' back it's heavy now, fuck the petty shit
Bigger better shit and I'm ready now
Yo, she got 'em like (E)
Everyday eatin' and takin' it to the (V)
Vixen, V-12 with systems (E)
Everybody keepin' it movin'
This double-R goin' hard
This is Eve-olution now scream, "E"
If you really ready we takin' it to the (V)
Vicious, spit flows ridiculous (E)
Say it like you know the letters
Bombshell and the glow's a fetish (uh, yo)
Now scream my name for me
Okay she talk a lot of shit, cocky, got plenty lip
Promise myself that I never live penniless
Took a couple trips, hopped in and out of plenty whips
Stacked up the game now she readin' plenty scripts
Yeah, I'm accustomed to the good life
But don't get it fucked up I owe it all to the hood life
Congratulate her when you see her pass
It's a shame how these chicks get agitated when we cross paths
But we ain't even on the same level
I'm thinkin' 'bout a sexy eye, baby girl, you still on icy bezels
Felt right, had to have it
Third joint still goin' strong, I'm not braggin'
I guess I am a little bit though, makin' it happen
Who'd have thought I'd be famous one day makin' it rappin'?
Philly, she done lost her mind
Another hit, dog, the last line
Yo, she got 'em like (E)
Everyday eatin' and takin' it to the (V)
Vixen, V-12 with systems (E)
Everybody keepin' it movin'
This double-R goin' hard
This is Eve-olution now scream, "E"
If you really ready we takin' it to the (V)
Vicious, spit flows ridiculous (E)
Say it like you know the letters
Bombshell and the glow's a fetish (uh, yo)
Now scream my name for me
E-V-E
E-V-E
Scream the name for me
