Babygirl
Maeta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Iโ€ฒm just sitting back
11am if you call me I ain't calling back
Iโ€ฒm high and I don't want to deal with that
It's just me and myself and a fat fat
No chat chat

Ainโ€ฒt no dialo-o-gue no
I say sayonara
To anybody coming to knock on my room
To anything thatโ€ฒs trying to fuck with my mood

Cause babygirl deserves this
Babygirl been working
Babygirl oh
Babygirl oh-oh-oh
Babygirl deserves this
Babygirl been hurting
Babygirl oh
Babygirl

Retrograding na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Bad girl blazing na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Existential na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Excavating na-na-na-na-na-na-na

I prefer to chill on my own block
I prefer to keep all my doors locked
I prefer to DND do not disturb

Kick the curb
Kick the curb
Kick the curb, yeah

Cause babygirl deserves this
Babygirl been working
Babygirl oh
Babygirl oh-oh-oh
Cause babygirl deserves this
Babygirl been hurting
Babygirl oh
Babygirl

Babygirl deserves this
Babygirl been working
Babygirl oh
Babygirl oh-oh-oh
Babygirl deserves this
Baby been hurting




Babygirl oh
Babygirl
