Real hot girl shit, ah
It ain't always about what you like
Sometimes it's about what's right
(Helluva made this beat baby) huh
I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H (I'd rather keep it real with ya)
You know you can't control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bitches ain't gon' give it to you right
I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H (I'd rather keep it real with ya)
'Cause that's what you gon' call me when I'm trippin' anyway
You know you can't control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bitches ain't gon' give it to you right (ay)
Why you wanna play with me? You know I'm undefeated
A real hot girl know how to keep a nigga heated
You say you want respect? Well treat me how you wanna be treated
You told me to keep it real but you don't practice what you preachin'
You want me to blow your phone up and come looking for you 'til I find ya
You really want me to whoop the hoe that you fuckin' with if I find her
Bitch you ain't that busy, I don't give a fuck what you ain't got time for
You look me in my eyes and know you lyin', man that's fraud, bruh
Man you knew I was a player 'fore you met me, need to relax
You know that you gon' hate me if I get to playin' get-back
I ain't turn into no bad bitch when you met me, boy I been that
You tryna make me something that I ain't, and I ain't with that
I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H (I'd rather keep it real with ya)
'Cause that's what you gon' call me when I'm trippin' anyway
You know you can't control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bitches ain't gon' give it to you right
I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H (I'd rather keep it real with ya)
'Cause that's what you gon' call me when I'm trippin' anyway
You know you can't control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bitches ain't gon' give it to you right (ay, ay, huh)
I got my mind on gettin' paid, we ain't spoke in some days
He prolly thinkin' I'm in pain, but I'm really on game
Ain't no nigga finna stop me, independent, I got me
All the shit that I be needin', can't depend on a "prolly"
And that's fucked up 'cause you know that I don't fuck with nobody
I be quiet, but you out here tellin' stories one-sided
I ain't perfect, and I try to fix the shit that ain't working
But it's 2020, I ain't finna argue 'bout twerking
Since you wanna test the waters, might as well jump in with both feet
If you leave me, and you see me, better act like you don't know me
If you thinking shit get better with another bitch, go get her
When you realize she ain't got you like I got you, I can't help you
I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H (I'd rather keep it real with ya)
'Cause that's what you gon' call me when I'm trippin' anyway
You know you can't control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bitches ain't gon' give it to you right
I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H (I'd rather keep it real with ya)
'Cause that's what you gon' call me when I'm trippin' anyway
You know you can't control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bitches ain't gon' give it to you right (yuh)
I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H (I'd rather keep it real with ya)
'Cause that's what you gon' call me when I'm trippin' anyway
You know you can't control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bitches ain't gon' give it to you right
I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H (I'd rather keep it real with ya)
Ohh, ohh
(I'd rather keep it real with ya)
Ohh, ohh
The song "B.I.T.C.H." by Megan Thee Stallion is all about female empowerment and reclaiming a derogatory term. The rapper confidently declares that she would rather be called a "bitch" when someone tries to control or manipulate her. She makes it clear that she is in control of her own life and needs to be treated with respect.
Megan also addresses the double standards between men and women. She points out how men are often praised for being players and going after what they want, while women are judged and called names for doing the same thing. She challenges this unfair treatment and demands equality in her relationships.
The song's message is empowering and encourages women to embrace their strength and independence. Megan's confident delivery and catchy chorus make it a bold anthem for anyone who refuses to be controlled or manipulated.

Real hot girl shit, ah
I'm living my best life and I'm not afraid to show it

Doing what's morally correct is more important than pleasing others
I'd rather be a B-I-T-C-H
I'd rather be true to myself and not change for anyone
'Cause that's what you gon' call me when I'm trippin' anyway

You know you can't control me baby
I'm my own person and I won't let anyone dictate how I live my life
You need a real one in your life
You need someone who is authentic and honest, not someone who pretends to be someone they're not
Them bitches ain't gon' give it to you right
Those who try to conform to society's expectations won't truly give you what you need
Why you wanna play with me? You know I'm undefeated
Why do you try to push me around when I'm strong enough to overcome any obstacle?
A real hot girl know how to keep a nigga heated
A confident woman knows how to keep her partner interested and passionate
You say you want respect? Well treat me how you wanna be treated
If you want to be respected, you need to show respect to others
You told me to keep it real but you don't practice what you preachin'
You expect me to be honest, but you're not being truthful yourself
You want me to blow your phone up and come looking for you 'til I find ya
You want me to be clingy and desperate, but I won't stoop to that level
You really want me to whoop the hoe that you fuckin' with if I find her
You want me to be violent and confrontational, but that's not who I am
Bitch you ain't that busy, I don't give a fuck what you ain't got time for
Stop pretending to be too busy for me, you're just avoiding me
You look me in my eyes and know you lyin', man that's fraud, bruh
I can tell when you're lying to me, and it's not cool
Man you knew I was a player 'fore you met me, need to relax
You knew my reputation before we got together, don't try to change me now
You know that you gon' hate me if I get to playin' get-back
If you try to play games with me, don't be surprised when I do the same
I ain't turn into no bad bitch when you met me, boy I been that
I've always been confident and self-assured, don't confuse that with being a 'bad bitch'
You tryna make me something that I ain't, and I ain't with that
You're trying to change me into someone who conforms to your standards, and that's not who I am
I got my mind on gettin' paid, we ain't spoke in some days
I'm focused on my career and making money, not wasting time on a relationship that's not fulfilling
He prolly thinkin' I'm in pain, but I'm really on game
He probably thinks I'm hurting over our lack of communication, but in reality, I'm focused on my hustle
Ain't no nigga finna stop me, independent, I got me
No man is going to hold me back from success, I'm self-sufficient and in control of my own life
All the shit that I be needin', can't depend on a 'prolly'
I can only rely on myself to get what I need, not someone who's uncertain
And that's fucked up 'cause you know that I don't fuck with nobody
It's unfortunate that I can't depend on anyone, especially since I don't trust many people
I be quiet, but you out here tellin' stories one-sided
I don't speak up much, but you're twisting the truth and sharing your version of events
I ain't perfect, and I try to fix the shit that ain't working
I admit that I have flaws and I make an effort to improve myself and my situation
But it's 2020, I ain't finna argue 'bout twerking
I'm not going to waste time arguing over something trivial, especially in today's society
Since you wanna test the waters, might as well jump in with both feet
If you want to try to push my buttons, you might as well go all in
If you leave me, and you see me, better act like you don't know me
If you decide to end things between us, don't come crawling back and pretending we don't have a history
If you thinking shit get better with another bitch, go get her
If you believe that things will improve with someone else, then pursue that person
When you realize she ain't got you like I got you, I can't help you
When you come to the realization that no one can compare to me, it will be too late
