You don’t know, you don’t know, you don’t know me ,you don’t know. You don’t know, you don’t know, you don’t Know me, you don’t know

[Verse 1]
Hold up hold up hold up
I can't make a wale stop drinking water
I can't make your man never come home
No cheating I just took him now you all alone
Buying me all the things you don't have
I want 70/30 you don't even half
Gotta couple bad bitches on my staff
When we roll up in the spot bitches get mad
Bet you wanna see me rocking that channel bag
Just look better when the both of us be popping tags
Bet you wanna see me crushing in them red bottoms
Firstlady you know Michael Obama

Category five pussy got you lock down
And I don't give a fuck what you talking bout
Kind of girl that them niggas in the south like
Bitches hate cause they really don't got a shape
Not a sin to show skin get up your heart rate
Why you study judging me your nigga watching
Get like me so your nigga won't be hopping
Bitches be fucking your Nigga
All up in your face
Don’t be letting these hoes
All up in your space
It's a game bitch
You better know how to play
All y'all with that free pussy
While Im getting paid

[Hook]
Cause baby imma savage you don't know
Cause baby imma bad bitch not a hoe

Cause baby imma savage you don't know
Cause baby imma bad bitch not a hoe
