You watch the way that you talk to me (Talk to me)
My new ho is a model (Model)
She wanna fly out to Cabo (Cabo)
I said, I said, "Just wait 'til I drop my album"
Girl, it's alright, I'm a ho, too (Yeah)
Just got a bag I'ma blow through (Yeah)
I need some space, need O2 (Want O2)
And I get the shit that you go through (Go)
It's probably my fault if I ghost you (Yeah)
I push away people I'm close with
Won't stand on a stand, I don't know shit (Yeah)
Yeah, we took a pic and I post it

My red beam gon' shine like a glow stick
I'm like, "Can you swallow this whole shit?"
They ridin' my wave like an ocean (Yeah)
Wait, I can't tell the time on my new Audemar ('Mar)
I do the shit that gon' set me apart, yeah
Girl, I'm a savage, yeah, that's why I got a bad bitch (Yeah)
We stay at the top, yeah, but we came from bottom
I got a script from the doc', yeah (Yeah)
Got Percocet problems (Percocet problems)
My haters want me to flop, nah
Say, "Fuck 'em, we ballin'"

Say, "Fuck it, I'm callin'"
You better pick up the phone when I phone you
I don't go broke, that's the shit that my clones do
I don't show love to a ho 'less I own you
You so dramatic so I wanna hold you
Don't always do the shit that I'm supposed to

I took her home and I ripped her apart
Try to show love and she ripped out my heart (Okay)
Green 'round me like I shoot at the park
I smoke Gelato, don't fuck with a cart (Okay)
And I probably fucked this shit up from the start
I know what you been, I know what you are
I still wanna lay with you, stare at the stars
I just took a Benzo
But I just wanna vibe with my friends though
And don't put me up in no friends zone
But can we still fuck and be friends though?
Nah, probably not
I'm in the city where they really robbin'
Say you the gang, but you really be oppin', shit
Girl, it's alright, I'm a ho, too (Yeah)
Just got a bag I'ma blow through (Yeah)
I need some space, need O2 (Want O2)
And I get the shit that you go through (Go)
It's probably my fault if I ghost you (Yeah)

My red beam gon' shine like a glow stick
I'm like, "Can you swallow this whole shit?"
They ridin' my wave like an ocean (Yeah)
Wait, I can't tell the time on my new Audemar




I do the shit that gon' set me apart, yeah
Girl, I'm a savage, yeah, that's why I got a bad bitch
