Some of them men think they freak this

This goes out to all my girls
That's in the club rockin' the latest
Who will buy it for themselves
And get more money later
I think I need a barber (Barber)
None of these **** can fade me (Fade me)

[Verse 2]
It's hot up in here
DJ, don't be scared to run this, run this back
I'm reppin' for the girls who takin' over the world
Help me raise a glass for the college grads
41' Rollie to let you know what time it is, check
You can't hold me (You can't hold me)

This goes out to all the women gettin' it in
You on your grind
To other men that respect what I do
Please accept my shine
Boy, you know you love it
How we smart enough to make these millions
Strong enough to bear the children (Children)
Then get back to business (Business)

See, you better not play me (Me)
Oh, come here, baby (Baby)
Hope you still like me
