Guess Who? You Bitches Is Ri-Ri(Lum)
Lambourgini strawberry kiwi
Fashion week in Paris was nice
Every Designer had my size(ha ha ha ha ha ha)
Switch my hair they gon copy her
Switch my gear they gon copy her
Lo-lo-look at how they stare just to copy her
Well Roger that!Did you copy that?
Co-co-copy cat.

I am g-going home
I am g-going home
I shut it down already
I am g-going home

Backdoor because I am leaving
One more and now they just greddy
Yo, tell them to go make dem want, we dont misguide
Collar up, shades low and I'm in disgiuse
Switch my hair they gon copy her

Switch my gear they gon copy her
Lo-lo-look at how they stare just to copy her
Well Roger that, did you copy that?
Co-co-copy cat.

I am g-going home

And yu alread know

To anyone confused the 'instrumental' or original track is Chase & Status - Saxon which has been a certified banger in the UK dubstep scene for about 4 years, Rihanna just decided to vocal it after working with them on her Rated R album

@curassavica

and the original melody is from a Metallica song, “Wherever I May Roam” lmao

After listening to the original by Chase & Status for years, this is blowing my mind, but you can CLEARLY see how it is two different songs that kinda clash

@abdoutouzani1071
