[Intro]
Y'all makin' my life real difficult right now
You keep on sayin'
What I can and I cannot do
Well, in fact
Miss Thomas speak
[Chorus]
I ain't had no daddy around when I was growing up (Huh)
That's why I'm wild and I don't give a (Huh)
Y'all think cause these jeans fit I'll give it up
Don't let my cute face fool ya
I ain't had no daddy around when I was growing up (Huh)
That's why I'm wild and I don't give a (Huh)
Y'all think cause these jeans fit I'll give it up
Don't let my cute face fool ya
[Verse 1]
Been through so much in my life, seen things in my life
That I never thought I'd make it through
Had a few close calls in my life that coulda ended my life
But I'm here looking at you
Never thought that I'd be here
I'm the type that don't give a damn about rules
I was forced to survive on the streets, make my own way to eat
Gotta do what I gotta do (Best believe)
[Pre-Chorus]
I know plenty of girls like me (Uh, uh)
That done been through hell just like me (Uh)
Keep what your mama teach ya
Don't let cheat or deceit defeat ya (Girlfriend)
And all my kickass girls like me (Uh, uh)
That ain't never afraid to speak (Uh)
Next time that they try to treat ya
Like you a freak cause you're street and look good, tell them
[Chorus]
I ain't had no daddy around when I was growing up (Huh)
That's why I'm wild and I don't give a (Huh)
Y'all think cause these jeans fit I'll give it up
Don't let my cute face fool ya
I ain't had no daddy around when I was growing up (Huh)
That's why I'm wild and I don't give a (Huh)
Y'all think cause these jeans fit I'll give it up
Don't let my cute face fool ya
[Verse 2]
No, I don't strip in the club nor trick in the club
But I got friends that do
So, my girls, that's gettin' the dough the best way they know
No hate, girl, I got you
Even though it ain't me (I understand)
It's real in these streets (I understand)
When it comes to that rent, that whip, that check
Ain't nobody gon' protect your neck like you
[Pre-Chorus]
I know plenty of girls like me (Uh, uh)
That done been through hell just like me (Uh)
Keep what your mama teach ya
Don't let cheat or deceit defeat ya (Girlfriend)
And all my kickass girls like me (Uh, uh)
That ain't never afraid to speak (Uh)
Next time that they try to treat ya
Like you a freak cause you're street and look good, tell them
[Chorus]
I ain't had no daddy around when I was growing up (Huh)
That's why I'm wild and I don't give a (Huh)
Y'all think cause these jeans fit I'll give it up
Don't let my cute face fool ya
I ain't had no daddy around when I was growing up (Huh)
That's why I'm wild and I don't give a (Huh)
Y'all think cause these jeans fit I'll give it up
Don't let my cute face fool ya
[Bridge]
All, all my girls
From a broken home
When you're feeling all alone
And you feel you can't go on, call me
All, all my girls
From a broken home
When you're feeling all alone
And you feel you can't go on, call me
[Pre-Chorus]
I know plenty of girls like me (Uh, uh)
That done been through hell just like me (Uh)
Keep what your mama teach ya
Don't let cheat or deceit defeat ya (Girlfriend)
And all my kickass girls like me (Uh, uh)
That ain't never afraid to speak (Uh)
Next time that they try to treat ya
Like you a freak cause you're street and look good, tell them
[Chorus]
I ain't had no daddy around when I was growing up (Huh)
That's why I'm wild and I don't give a (Huh)
Y'all think cause these jeans fit I'll give it up
Don't let my cute face fool ya
I ain't had no daddy around when I was growing up (Huh)
That's why I'm wild and I don't give a (Huh)
Y'all think cause these jeans fit I'll give it up
