[Verse 1]
Don't play dumb, know you know
I get reckless, I can't help it
Damn, I need some discipline
For myself
I get reckless, I can't help it
I get territorial
[Pre-Chorus]
But at least I never been the
Type to want someone else's man, see
You should know what's mine is mine
Don't try and pretend to be my friend
'Cause I see you for what you are, your
Desperation's gone too far
At first, it was just laughable
Now you're getting me out of character
[Chorus]
That's cool, yeah, it's cool
I'll be a villain in your story
You can play the victim too
Yeah, it's cool
Once I claim my territory
I get territorial
[Post-Chorus]
Da-dum, da-dum
Da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum
Da-dum, da-dum, I get territorial
[Verse 2]
See, I look like an angel, walk like an angel
Sometimes, I might even talk like an angel
But there's danger, me, I keep it graceful
Te faltó el respeto, well, I get disrespectful too
[Pre-Chorus]
Why would I come respectfully
About you disrespecting me?
My claws come out fast when they try to crawl to my territory
See, I'm a lover, but I'll go to war about mine, toe to toe
I'll use your face to mop the floor
Get me out of character (Get me out of character)
[Chorus]
Oh, that's cool, yeah, it's cool
I'll be a villain in your story
You can play the victim too
Yeah, it's cool
Once I claim my territory
I get territorial
