This chick is a sick individual
Sicktate, volume two, believe it!
Ho! Ho!
Let me switch up the game
I drink that cognac
Step back 'cause I might put it on ya
Count sheep, wake you up from f- all week
You don't want me have to show ya
How a freak bitch act when I ain't sober
Whattup, I'm to' up, sho' nuff
Ain't scared to take it out, tell the freak to take it off
Tipsy and I feel, good
Black dudes got big woods
Into it, I do it, I did it
If you really really want it then nigga stop frontin'
Ay boy you know I'm yo' type
5'2" I wear my jeans real tight
My curves, they swerve, so superb
My word is my word and I came to serve
We run this, run this, we run this, run this
We run this uh-ohh, ohh!
It don't matter where you're from it's where you're at
And if you came to freek-a-leek better bring ya hats
East coast, west coast
Down south, represent ya coast
Yeah we run it, and yeah we run it
Y'all don't want it, 'cause my coast run it
Uh-ohh, we run this, uhh, we run this
Wicked! Wanna pull my hair, break my back
For the right money might sit in your 'llac
Back to back, and can't even keep track
It's a fact the freaks love to get slapped
Suck my toes and then the backrub
I don't come to do it, I just wanna be touched
Look at how y'all makin me blush
I'm enough to go around so people don't push
Don't push - when I run that tush in the bush
Don't my diamonds look real good
And they shine so hard, that he glitters
So many karats they look like critters
And we can do it all night
Take a flashlight to see up in my windpipe
I like to keep a nigga hype
I wanna know can you handle my mic
We run this, run this, we run this, run this
We run this uh-ohh, ohh!
It don't matter where you're from it's where you're at
And if you came to freek-a-leek better bring ya hats
East coast, west coast
Down south, represent ya coast
Yeah we run it, and yeah we run it
Y'all don't want it, 'cause my coast run it
Uh-ohh, we run this shit, uhh, we run this shit
Any hustlers in the party y'all - hell yeah
If youse a pimp lemme see you party hard - hell yeah
Ohh strippers take yo' clothes off - hell yeah
Y'all superstars, y'all don't need no bodyguards - hell yeah
Nigga I bo-gart
A lot of rappers fakin' way too hard
Pull up at the club in a rental car
Where them freaks at, the freaks at the bar where the hard drinks are
Don't, start
You don't want beef, don't take it that far with a superstar
I got my foot on the clutch, see me bounce my butt
Misdemeanor too much and I don't give a fuck
We run this, run this, we run this, run this
We run this uh-ohh, ohh!
It don't matter where you're from it's where you're at
And if you came to freek-a-leek better bring ya hats
We run this, run this, we run this, run this
We run this uh-ohh, ohh!
Represent ya coast and act like ya know
Know how to act 'fore you step your two feet in the do'
Volume two, holla!
Wicked! This shit is sick!
Big shout out to Mobb Deep
G-Unit!

Wicked! Wanna pull my hair, break my back
I'm into rough sex, and I like it when someone pulls my hair or bends me over
For the right money might sit in your 'llac

Back to back, and can't even keep track
I'm so busy having sex that I lose count

It's true that some people like to be slapped during sex
Suck my toes and then the backrub
I enjoy having my toes sucked, and then getting a back massage
I don't come to do it, I just wanna be touched
I don't always have to have sex, sometimes I just want to be touched
Look at how y'all makin me blush
You're making me embarrassed, but secretly I like the attention
I'm enough to go around so people don't push
I have enough sexual energy to satisfy everyone, so there's no need to fight over me
Don't push - when I run that tush in the bush
Don't try to compete with me, because I'll always come out on top
Don't my diamonds look real good
Aren't my diamond jewelry beautiful?
And they shine so hard, that he glitters
My diamonds sparkle so much that they make my partner shine too
So many karats they look like critters
I have so many diamonds that it looks like a zoo of little animals on my body
And we can do it all night
We can have sex all night long
Take a flashlight to see up in my windpipe
My oral sex skills are so good that you'll need a flashlight to see down my throat

Nigga I bo-gart
I'm in charge here
A lot of rappers fakin' way too hard
Many rappers are pretending to be something they're not
Pull up at the club in a rental car
I'm not too proud to rent a car to go to the club
Where them freaks at, the freaks at the bar where the hard drinks are
I'm looking for other adventurous people who like to drink hard alcohol
Don't, start
Don't try to start anything with me
You don't want beef, don't take it that far with a superstar
You don't want to get into a fight with me, a big celebrity
I got my foot on the clutch, see me bounce my butt
I'm in control and I'm showing off my dancing skills
Misdemeanor too much and I don't give a fuck
I'm a badass and I don't care about the consequences
