Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, look, mm-mm, look
Omar Grand
If you say you had a girl like me, I know you lyin'
It's time to catch a lick, boy, I be shootin' while you drivin', brr (Dizz, you violated)
Aye, yeah
Let's get it
I said I like a dime, it's like butter
You know I'm even badder 'cause I came straight out the gutter, aye
Let's get it, look
To the trap, aye, then I meet your mother
Uh-huh, yeah, look
[Verse 1]
I said he know he need a down bitch, pretty spicy brown thing
Ass he could sleep on and a pussy he could drown in
When these hoes be comin' at you, don't you pay these hoes no mind (No)
Half these bitches wanna fuck with you because they know you mine (Facts)
If you ain't on the same page, then bloop-bloop, watch me lane switch (Gone)
Gotta be the only bitch, what the hell's a main bitch?
If you ain't on the same page, then bloop-bloop, watch me lane switch (Skrrt)
I'm too bad to be lonely and too grown to be played with (I'm too grown, aye)
[Chorus]
It's the principle, the principle, aye
Can't be out here playin' with a bitch like me (Why?)
There's **** out here prayin' for a bitch like me, aye
It's the principle, the principle, aye
Take me to the trap, aye, then I meet your mother
You know a bitch is badder when she raised up out the gutter
[Verse 2]
Said, "Now take me out to eat," TAO, Philippe (Eat, TAO, Philippe)
He said, "Why we gotta leave? 'Tween your thighs, a feast" (Freak)
He know how to make me smile, how to make me growl (Ooh, ooh)
I be walkin' out the shower, he be tuggin' at the towel (Ugh)
Take me to the trenches, I don't ever panic (Trenches, no)
Take me anywhere, just don't take me for granted (Facts)
You could spoil me all you want, you ain't loyal, I don't care (I don't)
My **** and my food is just two things I can't share, bitch
[Chorus]
It's the principle, the principle, aye
If you ain't on the same shit, huh, watch me lane switch
I'm too sexy to be lonely and too grown to be played with
It's the principle, the principle, aye
Can't be out here playin' with a bitch like me
There's **** out here prayin' for a bitch like me, aye
