“Twerk” is City Girls' ode to booty-shaking and female empowerment. It features fast-paced flows and booming 808s, accompanied by a Choppa sample from 2002’s “Choppa Style.” The original contained no features, but Cardi B contributed a verse to the radio edit and subsequent music video.

[Intro: Yung Miami & Cardi B]
(I want a slim, fine woman with some twerk with her)

[Verse 1: Yung Miami]
Do it, baby, stick it, baby

Suck up on that clit until that pussy got a hickey, baby (Bounce)
Watch big, coulda bought a Range Rover (Range Rover)
Chain little, but I spent some change on it (Change on it)

They'll die 'bout me, they'll bang on him (Facts)
And that ass poke out, lil frame on her (Ow)
Pussy so good he got my name on it (Miami)
Itty-bitty-pretty, I'm the realest in the city
Only fuckin' with the plug, got a nigga worth a billi'
Showin' love, only talk about bands when he hit me
Chose him, he ain't pick me, and we never doin' quickies

[Verse 2: Cardi B]

This sound like Cardi with the braids (With the braids)
Jermaine Dupri, baby, money ain't a thing (Ain't a thing)
This pussy wild, they should throw it in a cage (Grr)
See my lifestyle, precise gal (Gal)

I see them hoes lookin' cold, lookin' stiff, uh
Thick bitch God's gift to a dick, woo (Woo)
Drop low, look back, shit fat, shit fat

If you don't let me hold that, you know where the door at (Bye)

Must have me confused for a rap bitch (Hol' up)
Too rude for a soft nigga, need a boss nigga
Floss nigga who don't give a fuck what it cost, nigga (Boss)
I could buy my own, but I'd rather spend y'all's, niggas
Tell them pussy-ass hoes I don't want y'all niggas
Got a penthouse up in the Mandarin (Ow)
So when you get this pussy, better handle it (Catch it)
I'm a top-notch bitch, need some top-notch dick
Smooth like a G5 when you landing it
[Chorus]

The day that me and JT chose to do “Twerk”, we had went to the studio. And we had wanted to do New Orleans bounce, a song kind of like “In My Feelings.” Because we don’t have a twerk song.

JT would be at the studio desk writing hers and I’ll be on the couch with my notes. And it’s a long process. We share lyrics though. She’ll be like “Okay, this my first line what you think about it?”. Or “This the direction I’m going in”. ‘Cause our verses never really match. We be like “Why the fuc...
From day one, when we first ever even signed our record deal, we knew that JT was gonna facing prison time. Because once we first started rapping, she got indicted and we knew that she was gonna have to turn herself in. So, we recorded up until she went to jail. For, we had already released ‘Period’...
