Good For You
Pardison Fontaine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh, no, oh, yeah
Said I wanna be good, I wanna be good for you, wanna be good
I wanna be good, I wanna be good for you, I wanna be good
I'm tryna be good for you, tryna be good for you, tryna be
I said I'm tryna be good for you, tryna be good, look, girl

Uh, girl, you know I'm 'bout that action
Girl, you know you that you my favorite distraction
She said you broke up with your man, I'm like, "What happened?"
Said he wasn't man enough for me, Toni Braxton
Girl, if you the picture, then I'm the caption
When you think you sinkin', come see the captain
Girl, you know with me that it freaky passion
Know that I exceed in what he lackin'

Yeah, you know I'm cut from a different cloth
It's hard to cut all my bitches off
But, girl, I got plans for you
More than my tongue or hands will do
But my big booty hoes, big booty hoes
They fuck with me
All I see is big booty hoes, big booty hoes
Ayy

Know you right, baby, sure you right, baby
Why you wanna act like you not my baby?
Have me right, baby, call me now, baby
Oh

Said I wanna be good for you
I said I'm tryna be good, I try to be good for you, I try to be good
I try to be good for you, I'm tryna be good, said, yeah, yeah
Try to be good for you, I'm tryna be good, ayy

Gi-Girl, you know I think I love you
Think you the missin' piece to the puzzle
Every time you leave, I be thinkin' of you
And every time you come, girl, you leave a puddle
If God hate ugly, I know Jesus love you
It's probably why you built like that
How your hair and your skin feel like silk like that
Don't flirt with other dudes, niggas get killed like that, ayy

That's how these niggas get deleted
My name is Pardi, girl, you know I need a remix
Let's go half on a fetus, I mean it
They say love is blind, probably why I never seen it
All I see is big booty hoes, yeah, yeah
I guess a nigga got distracted by these big booty hoes, oh-oh

Know you right, baby, sure you right, baby
Why you wanna act like you not my baby?
Have me right, baby, call me now, baby
Oh-oh





Said I wanna be good for you
I said I'm tryna be good-
