Contra on the mix
I need you to show me what you do, and how you do it bae
I ain't really tryna waste no time, no let's get to it aye
You start talking technical, no baby that's a foul
I ain't interested unless we doing it right now
Thinking that you bad 'cause you talk like this
But you really big cap, you don't walk like this, aye
Thinking that you bad 'cause you talk like this
But you really big cap, you don't walk like this, nah nah
I remember I had seen her when we pulled up to the party
The way that move, made me want her to be my shawty
She's so bad, and she's walking 'round like she know that
Acting extra rude, make me wonder where her soul at
Built the way I like 'em, so I had to say "what's up"
I'm doing it smooth, way I'm talking, it ain't no rush, now
I'm telling her I got it, I can turn her watch to bust down
Then she started acting like I went and scored a touchdown
Hit the pylon, crossed the goal line
Little did I know, she was running game the whole time
Girl I thought that you were out here running like a 4.5
I'm being for real, what you mean that you need more time, aye
Feel like all these girls playing, I don't get it, nah nah nah
It's a lot of y'all I swear that need to hear this, yeah yeah yeah
I need you to show me what you do, and how you do it bae
I ain't really tryna waste no time, no let's get to it aye
You start talking technical, no baby that's a foul
I ain't interested unless we doing it right now
Thinking that you bad 'cause you talk like this
But you really big cap, you don't walk like this, aye
Thinking that you bad 'cause you talk like this
But you really big cap, you don't walk like this, nah nah
Baby want a real one
Want a - with some money to pay her invoice
Got a son on the way, got a daughter at the house
Got a - in the pen, oh I feel her
She gon' do it by herself, but she ain't a pilgrim
She get them racks off the floor, she a dancer
And I'm feeling her lil' sign, she a Cancer
When the pack touch down I use her address
I'm at the studio recording, I'm at The Palace
She above the rim, she the atlas
And her attitude sharp like a cactus
Imma step 'bout mine, you can't have this
It's TYTE
I need you to show me what you do, and how you do it bae
I ain't really tryna waste no time, no let's get to it aye
You start talking technical, no baby that's a foul
I ain't interested unless we doing it right now
Thinking that you bad 'cause you talk like this
But you really big cap, you don't walk like this, aye




Thinking that you bad 'cause you talk like this
But you really big cap, you don't walk like this, nah nah
