Yeah, she's a triflin' friend indeed
Ooh she's a gold digger, way over time
That digs on me
(She give me money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger
(When I'm in need)
(She give me money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger
(When I'm in need)
But she ain't messin' wit no broke, broke
(I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down
(I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down
(I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down
(I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head
(She give me money)
Cutie da bomb
Met her at a beauty salon
(When I'm in need)
With a baby Louis Vuitton
Under her under arm
(She give me money)
She said I can tell you rock
I can tell by ya charm
(When I'm in need)
Far as girls you got a flock
I can tell by ya charm and ya arm
(I gotta leave)
But I'm lookin' for the one

I know somebody payin' child support for one of his kids

His baby momma's car crib is bigger than his

Win the Superbowl and drive off in a Hummer
