I'm poppin', what you stopping, nada hoe ass thing
I bet I make a scene when I step on the scene
Cause I'm poppin', what you stopping, nada hoe ass thing
Cause I'm poppin', what you stopping, nada hoe ass thing
I'm poppin', what you stopping, nada hoe ass thing
I bet I make a scene when I step on the scene

Bitch, I'm poppin' on some top notch shit
Pretty girls say (Oww!) as the bad bitches drop it
I don't give a fuck if a hating bitch is watching
I know that you don't like me but my movements you be clocking
I know you hate to see me shine but you could never block it
You man be jocking heavy and he tryna take me shopping
He told me throw it in the bag after that I dropped 'em
I never loved these hoes so when I'm bored I just swap 'em
I'm poppin', what you stopping, nada hoe ass thing
I been up on my job since the age of nineteen
Now, I'm getting checks just to live out my dreams
I can change the weather whenever I fucking please
The way I'm catching plays in miraculous
Get that bread then we flip it like a spatula
They ask me how I do it but it's natural
Catch me on the scene and you know I'm acting up

I'm poppin', what you stopping, nada hoe ass thing
I bet I make a scene when I step on the scene
Cause I'm poppin', what you stopping, nada hoe ass thing

Cause I'm poppin', what you stopping, nada hoe ass thing

I need my money longer than a Facebook status
Flyer than your average, I don't need no practice
Like EA Sports, bitch I'm all in the game
I broke your nigga neck when he saw me switching lanes
He said oh lets do it like he Waka Flocka Flame
Sorry, I'm not cuffing baby I can't be your main
And you are not a synonym, cause we are not the same
My life's like a metaphor for staying true and getting more
I'll take you on an ego trip, if you hop up in my whip
Pour a fifth and take a sip, pass the shit, don't babysit
Life is like a movie clip but I don't need a fucking script
Former ugly duckling, now I'm shining like the vegas strip
See me at the function, don't be scared say what's up
The DJ play my song and he showing hella love
Had a shot of José, now I'm feeling hella buzzed
Now I'm back of the party still doing hella drugs

I'm poppin', what you stopping, nada hoe ass thing
I bet I make a scene when I step on the scene
Cause I'm poppin', what you stopping, nada hoe ass thing
Cause I'm poppin', what you stopping, nada hoe ass thing

I bet I make a scene when I step on the scene
Cause I'm poppin', what you stopping, nada hoe ass thing
Cause I'm poppin', what you stopping, nada hoe ass thing
