[intro]
i been trying not to go off the deep end
i don’t think you wanna give me a reason
i been trying not to go off the deep end
i don’t think you wanna give me a reason
[verse 1]
had to come and flip the script
had a big bone to pick
got the short end of the sticks, so we made fire with it
let em burn to a crisp, now that’s a sure fire flip
she’s a boss, she’s a bitch
i’ll take that as a compliment
i seen em moving real low, but leave em on a high note
always lead with love, yo
mama raised me thorough
they better wake up, niggas on the way up
you ain’t finna play her
[pre-chorus]
shawty gon’ get that paper
shawty tongue rip like razor
shawty got wit, got flavor
pardon my tits and make-up, pay her
dribble then hit that lay up
shawty aint with them games, yuh
shawty gon’ get that paper, pay her
[chorus]
i been trying not to go off the deep end
i don’t think you wanna give me a reason
i been trying not to go off the deep end
i don’t think you wanna give give me
i been trying not to go off the deep end
i don’t think you wanna give me a reason
i been trying not to go off the deep end
i don’t think you wanna give give me
[verse 1]
please proceed to light this bitch up
life ain’t fair, you fight for your cut
think i spy your eye on my bucks
great, look, now the lion woke up
you eying my shit, inquiring shit
live for the minor event, i finally slip
built on the bodies of men, nobody winning
contain what i’m bottling in just benefits them
[pre-chorus]
shawty gon’ get that paper
shawty tongue rip like razor
shawty got wit, got flavor
pardon my tits and make-up, pay her
dribble then hit that lay up
shawty aint with them games, yuh
shawty gon’ get that paper, pay her
[chorus]
i been trying not to go off the deep end
i don’t think you wanna give me a reason
i been trying not to go off the deep end
i don’t think you wanna give give me
