Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

"uh-uh wait a minute. who the fuck is that bitch?! fuck you mothafucker, ya think your slick go'n come over here askin' for some money! go ask that bitch for some money!"

See you in the corner talking shit with your friends
Acting like you know
Pretend, pretend, pretend
Got your nose on extendo
But I got all the ends
So I ain't even offended and not one fuck is extended to

You and all your illusions
Cause I mind my own business baby
Turn up, turn up, turn up asking when I knew my witness
You could be the shit too if you was worried about you and
You'd be the shit too if you was worried about you, gurl
Gurl
Worried about you, gurl
Gurl
Aye, I ain't said I'm better than you
You like "is she better than me?"
You watching all my moves like why you gotta be a creep?
Lurkin' on my IG fav'ing all my shit on twitter
But when i see you irl smdh
Why you skidda?
Saying "i don't like that girl. she think that shes the shit"

See you foaming out the mouth cause all your friends wanna hit
Wanna go? wanna fight?
Nah im just playin' I'm just sayin'
If you got somethin' to say then just come say it, gurl.

Wish you were my friend, gurl
Girl why cant we be friends, gurl?

You know you such a fucking fan, gurl
Aye
