You better save yourself

These bitches fake as hell

If you wanna say my name
You better save yourself
Said you better save yourself
Wow wow
'Dis shit get wild
Feel like a running back running my route
Say she don't like me 'lil bitch that's a doubt
She call me daddy like she was a child
And I stay with 45 I don't hang with a crowd
Come with the smoke promise we can get loud
And I say what I'm feeling too far to back down
Lil shawty a Killa she stay with the rounds
Kydd heard he insane
Kydd don't play no games

Kydd Gon get them gains
Kydd don't take no names
And you say you wanna leave baby
I'd be the one to agree baby
I can see what you don't see baby
Open doors that fine with me baby
