That right there (that, that, that right there)
That right there
That right there (that, that, that, that, that right there)
That right there (when I let him hit)
That right there (that right there)
That right there
Nigga, that right there
The shit that I be on it be honest
But trust a bitch see flames if it's comin'
Her nigga on me and he want it (want it)
And I'm with the shit, slim thick, early twenties (twenties)
I seen the shit I see but no respondin'
Bitches spell-check ya, speak Ebonics
Better know the book you're readin'
I swear these bitches be slow
It's the shit that bitches be hatin' on
('Cause they know what it is when I put that on)
'Cause they know if I let him hit it, that nigga is gone (get him off your phone)
It's the threat that they might lose control
(That-that they, they all lose control)
'Cause if I let him hit it, that nigga is gone, oh (gone)
That right there (that, that, that right there)
That right there

Nigga, that right there
'22 the year we flyin' up
Bitch, I'm freein' niggas flyin' up
Sneaky link, niggas wanna get deep in it (deep in it)
For shits and giggles, make a nigga repeat it (repeat it)
But for real, a bitch is on her game (game)
But best believe I'll serve a fade (me)
And the money all here and a bitch is up
It's the shit that bitches be hatin' on
