What up? What up? What up?
So I'm sweet like tutti-frutti
Booty gave me cooties
1970 shit
Might just pop a ludie
Fuck a sinus cold, fuck pneumonia
And I had to phone her and her name is Mona
And of course I got her leashed up I'm a loner
She need the dong to live and I'm the donor
Wait, wait, wait (bbno$)
So I get a big bag and I flex (and I flex)
Then I get a bad bitch, fuck an ex (fuck an ex)
So I drop another track, yeah I'm next (yeah I'm next)
And I did it like that, I'm the best (skrrt, skrrt, skrrt)
Diamonds I talk about
Got a little bit of plastic, I'm moving the copper now
Can you tell me why your girl has a potty mouth?
Why is this something you haven't even thought about
Heard that I'm the best
Gucci on my chest
Speaking for the public
I don't got a problem
Sipping on some bubbly
Man my life is lovely
Ya mommy on my case
Why she tryna rub me?
Booty so wide it's five by five
Make a couple tracks twenty-five by five
Bandwidth it be WiFi
Not Sci-fi, sorry Bill Nye
Doing just fine, five hundred there
Five hundred there, five hundred squared
In my bank account, I'ma tell you now
That I'm doing just fine, fuck a discount (bbno$)
So I'm sweet like tutti-frutti
Booty gave me cooties
1970 shit
Might just pop a ludie
Fuck a sinus cold, fuck pneumonia
Your mommy's quite the bitch and want my boner
And I had to phone her and her name is Mona
And of course I got her leashed up I'm a loner
She need the dong to live and I'm the donor
Wait, wait, wait (bbno$)
So I get a big bag and I flex (and I flex)
Then I get a bad bitch, fuck an ex (fuck an ex)
So I drop another track, yeah I'm next (yeah I'm next)
And I did it like that, I'm the best (skrrt, skrrt, skrrt)
Gotta take a shit
Might just shit on you
I don't give a frick
I'm the fuckin' dude
Dude where's my car?
I don't own a car
Take a trip to Zanzibar
So I did some research and I learned a bit
That you ain't nothing, but a little bitch
And I piped your mom 'cause shes my prof
'Cause I wanted A's but she gave me D's (she only gave me D's)
(What? Fuck this)
A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z, huh?
Why your bitch in my bed, huh? (Bed)
Why this baby not fed, huh? (Fed)
Why this baby say Zed, huh? (Zed)
You know I'm from Canada, right?
So I'm sweet like tutti-frutti
Booty gave me cooties
1970 shit
Might just pop a ludie
Fuck a sinus cold, fuck pneumonia
Your mommy's quite the bitch and want my boner
And I had to phone her and her name is Mona
And of course I got her leashed up I'm a loner
She need the dong to live and I'm the donor
Wait, wait, wait (bbno$)
