[Verse 1]
One time for the nigga that will wife you
Might do what you
Wanted send you couple bills
When you're light boo
Make your booty bigger overnight
Feed you right, then it is time bust it open
Like surprise
When he getting smart and he
Wanna fight send that nigga back
Home like the Taxi outside
Order in what you like I ain't finna cook
Tonight blowing up my phone like
A galaxy note 5 (note) nigga
[Pre-Chorus]
Nigga donʼt stress me nah nah nah
I donʼt got time for drama mama
Iʼm not your woman no no
If you donʼt want then go go (say whaaat)
Nigga donʼt stress me nah nah nah
I donʼt got time for drama ma ma
Iʼm not your woman no no
If you donʼt want then go go
[Chorus]
Tala ko kathona tala
Tala ko kathona tala
Tala ko kathona tala
Tala ko kathona tala
Tala ko kathona tala
Tala ko kathona tala
Tala ko kathona tala
Tala ko kathona tala
[Verse 2]
Bad girls link up link up (they arenʼt ready for us)
Mad tings pull up pullo (they arenʼt ready for us)
Donʼt let a bum nigga stress you
Donʼt let a bum nigga tell you what can do (no boo)
Set the rules straight tell him
Straight to his face, that you canʼt
Have him acting outta place what
A waste, that he canʼt be texting
Other babes he insane
Having crying all rivers like Justin Timberlake
[Pre-Chorus]
Nigga donʼt stress me nah nah nah
I donʼt got time for drama ma ma
Iʼm not your woman no no
If you donʼt want then go go (say whaaat)
Nigga donʼt stress me nah nah nah
I donʼt got time for drama ma ma
Iʼm not your woman no no
If you donʼt want then go go
[Chorus]
Tala ko kathona tala
Tala ko kathona tala
Tala ko kathona tala
Tala ko kathona tala
Tala ko kathona tala
Tala ko kathona tala
Tala ko kathona tala
Tala ko kathona tala
[Pre-Chorus]
Nigga donʼt stress me nah nah nah
I donʼt got time for drama ma ma
Iʼm not your woman no no
If you donʼt want then go go (say whaaat)
Nigga donʼt stress me nah nah nah
I donʼt got time for drama ma ma
Iʼm not your woman no no
If you donʼt want then
[Chorus]
Tala ko kathona tala
