[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 sticks, so we made a fire with it
Let it 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 see '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, uh, uh, pay her
Dribble then hit that lay up
Shawty ain't 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 2]
Please proceed to light this bitch up
Life ain't fair, you fight for your cut

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, uh, uh, pay her
Dribble then hit that lay up
Shawty ain't 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
