[Verse 1]
Baddie from West Adams
Arlington Ave
Hydrated, minding mine
Got a nosy-ass mad
No, I don't mind
It's a hair flip
Keep a smile too wide
Almost wide as my hips
[Pre-Chorus]
Play if you want to
I'ma be on 'cause l'm meant to
Miss out on a one-of-a-kind shit
If that's what you into
Stay up, stay alert
If you know what it's worth
I-S-L-E-Y
You heard it here first, I'm
[Chorus]
On like my mic
I'm on like my mic
One, two, yeah, yeah
One, two, yeah, yeah
I'm on like my mic
[Verse 2]
Pitch perfect, literally
Keys on me at all times
Ain't Maybelline, I was born with it
You ain't check the bloodline?
Grateful for it all
Two hands to the sky
But if you ain't already know
Baby, this your FYI
[Pre-Chorus]
Play if you want to (Play if you want to)
I'ma be on 'cause l'm meant to (I'ma be on)
Miss out on a one-of-a-kind shit
If that's what you into (That's what you into)
Stay up, stay alert (Stay up, stay alert)
If you know what it's worth
I-S-L-E-Y
You heard it here first, I'm
[Chorus]
On like my mic
I'm on like my mic
One, two, yeah, yeah
One, two, yeah, yeah
I'm on like my mic
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
