Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Neva let no hoe test me
Neva been scared of the money
Neva let em take nothing from me

A nigga get read like a letter
She think she bad but I'm better
These bitches tryna play catch-up
Neva let a broke nigga sex me
Neva let no hoe test me
Neva been scared of the money
Neva let em take nothing from me
Neva ever ever ever ever
A nigga get read like a letter
She think she bad but I'm better

Shut the fuck up when I'm talkin' lil bitch
Put yo head down when you talk to a pimp
Excuse me I got some big racks in my purse and
Right now they just making me walk with a limp
Bottles be showing me love
