Gomenasai Lyrics
[Produced by MA]
[Intro]
Gomenasai...
Gomenasai...
Gomenasai...
[Verse 1]
It must be scary
How will you ever get out
Sorry, not sorry, baby
I ain’t playing around
[Pre-Chorus]
When I slam the door
I don’t let you take off your clothes
Now you're not in control
Hoping and you're begging for more
But you're on your back
You're playing dumb but you know what's next
[Chorus]
Put your hands up
(Gomenasai...)
You're under arrest
Throw your hands high
(Gomenasai...)
I'm taking you down
Soak it up about to leave you dry
(Gomenasai...)
What's my name better say it twice
You’re my (bitch) tonight
But tomorrow you won't admit it
[Verse 2]
You beg again and again
But I like the view from on top
And when you're giving in
It's my name you'll scream out
[Pre-Chorus]
When I slam the door
I don’t let you take off your clothes
Now you're not in control
Hoping and you're begging for more
But you're on your back
You're playing dumb but you know what's next
[Chorus]
Put your hands up
(Gomenasai...)
You're under arrest
Throw your hands high
(Gomenasai...)
I'm taking you down
Soak it up about to leave you dry
(Gomenasai...)
What's my name better say it twice
You’re my (bitch) tonight
But tomorrow you won't admit it

This came from a conversation I had with Asma Maroof from Nguzunguzu. She hit me and was like, “Girl, have you seen this documentary 20 Feet From Stardom?” I watched the film: it essentially tells the story of black women in popular music for the past 50 years. It’s so crazy h...
