Yeah
Yeah
Baby

We should tell your friends I'm not the bad guy
Even though you paint me as the villain, I'm not that guy
You tell 'em all my flaws
You don't tell 'em that I'm better than your last guy (yeah)

Before I ride with you (yeah)
Cut off my ties with you
It's like I'm never seein' eye to eye with you
Conversations overheated, shit get sticky
New Chanel is not for fashion, it's for the blicky
Couple niggas closest to me out to get me
And when it's said and done, girl are you ridin' with me, yeah?
My bitch a rider, yeah (yeah)
I'm a soul survivor, yeah
Takin' off like NASA 'cause he's out of here
I just hit up Isaac, copped a chandelier
Bought my crib way out the way, so all my opps ain't near
Run and tell your friends about it
They know if I'm cryin' about it then I'm dyin' about it
Two tucked in a box, I'm 'bout it
Trey 'bout it, they know I'm 'bout it
They know I've been ballin' all season
Young nigga, start to feel like Roddy
I can never turn my back on cuz
Fuck what it is, it is what it was, yeah
They come to my city, they gotta pay us, straight
I got more pull than the mayor
And if she bad then I slay her
Church on a Sundays, just tryna save her, yeah

Go tell your friends I'm not the bad guy
Better than your last guy, yeah
Don't wanna see me win if it's not with you
