You're only getting older
Age is just number
Scary what they tell ya
Just cos you're a woman
You focus on my come up
Then you wait for me to fuck up
Blame it on my Amma
Cos she gave me too much freedom
Your son is out here wildin'
Your brother's acting childish
Your cousin says he grindin'
But we all know that he's lying
Why don't you mind your business
Who cares who I'm lipsing
My impulsiveness is sexy
I know you're trying to vex me yeah...
I can be modest and cute but
Not when it suits you
You lot can 'do one' too
My life is my choice who..
Gave you the right to judge
When you've been holding onto the same grudge
You won't budge, you won't trust
No one with the truth..
The same rules don't apply to you, I got nothing else to lose
Don't believe in no shame, my eyes on the game
They're calling my name
I am what I claim oh
I don't look prettier with him
I don't need to bleach my skin
Soakin' in the melanin
I'm desirable within myself
See I'm laughing way to loud
And I need to find a husband
No one wants a girl who's had multiple ex-boyfriends
See girls, we don't have feelings
Own dreams or aspirations
We try our best to open up
On multiple occasions
What if I really love him and I really wanna cuff him
Would you be supportive or
Worry about his race and
Why don't you mind your business
My life, my own decisions
My impulsiveness is sexy
I know you're trying to vex me yeah...
I can be modest and cute but
Not when it suits you
You lot can 'do one' too
My life is my choice who..
Gave you the right to judge
When you've been holding onto the same grudge
You won't budge, you won't trust
No one with the truth..
The same rules don't apply to you
I got nothing else to lose
Don't believe in no shame, my eyes on the game
They're calling my name
I am what I claim ohhh
Don't believe in no shame, my eyes on the game
They're calling my name
I am what I claim ohhh
I don't believe in no shame, my eyes on the game
They're calling my name
I am what I claim
Don't believe in no shame, my eyes on the game
They're calling my name
I am what I claim

'Hello, Prithika? Where are you?
எத்தின தரம் போன் பண்ணிரன்?
(How many times do I have to call you?)
எங்க நிக்கிற?! கெதியா வா வீட்ட!
(Where are you?! Come home now!)
பொம்புள பிள்ளையல்ல?!

கெதியா வா!'
(Come now!)
