Description

The voice is like a checklist at the entrance: its own rules, its own nitpicking, and not a shred of pity for those who don't fit in.

Here, irony wears pins, and confidence is like a well-stitched raincoat from the street: stuffy, but warm.

Love turns into a deal with the condition “no sharing” - friends and food are forbidden, and jealousy sounds almost like a joke.

Each verse is a lively maneuver: if you're not on the same wavelength, just change lanes and move on.

It all smells like the city at night, exoticism, and fast food between whispers and laughter - too cool to bother with cheap drama.

Lyrics and translation

Original

Yeah, look, 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

Ay, yeah

Let's get it

I said I like a dime, it's like butter

You know I'm even better 'cause I came straight out the gutter, ay

Let's get it, look

Took a trap, ay, then I meet your mother

Uh-huh, yeah, look

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 (on)

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

I'm too bad to be lonely and too grown to be played with (I'm too grown, ay)

It's the principle, the principle, ay

Can't be out here playin' with a bitch like me (why?)

There's niggas out here prayin' for a bitch like me, ay

It's the principle, the principle, ay

Take me to the trap, ay, then I meet your mother

You know a bitch is badder when she raised up out the gutter

Said, "Now take me out to eat" (eat), TAO (TAO), Philippe (Philippe)

He said, "Why we gotta leave?" 'Tween your thighs, a feast (freak)

He know how to make me smile (ooh), how to make me growl (ooh)

I be walkin' out the shower, he be tuggin' at the towel (ugh)

Take me to the trenches (trenches), I don't ever panic (no)

Take me anywhere, just don't take me for granted (facts)

You could soil me all you want, you ain't loyal, I don't care (I don't)

My niggas and my food is just two things I can't share, bitch

It's the principle, the principle, ay

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, ay

Can't be out here playin' with a bitch like me

There's niggas out here prayin' for a bitch like me, ay
