[Intro]
Oh, how you doin'?
I'm alright
Hahaha

[Verse]
Now how much times do I gotta prove these niggas wrong?
And how much times I gotta show these bitches I ain't soft?
How many shows I gotta sell out 'fore you get the cost?
Why they really tryna front like I ain't hit the charts?
All these labels, throwin' deals from left to right
But I ain't givin' in until they get them numbers right
All these people think that this shit happen overnight
All that flexin' they be doin', shit is all a hype
No tolerance for a hatin' bitch talkin' shit
Only time I hold my tongue is when I'm suckin' dick
So when I see you in the streets, yeah, it's fuckin' lit
And don't be talkin' all that sorry shit, don't flip the script
I see the lights, I hear the hype, I hit the mic
I kill the show, I get my dough, I catch a flight
I see a hater, I'm runnin' down, it's on sight
I throw my hands, I hit em' left, I hit em' right
They sleepin' on me just because I used to strip
But it's all good 'cause now they wanna get up in my VIP
Blowin' up my phone, sayin' everythin' I touch is lit
Actin' corn and wanna fuck me like they wasn't talkin' shit, woah
I let 'em live, let the shady motherfuckers live
Get them the price then it's time to show them what it is
Don't got the bat? Well then what you really tryna pitch?
Don't waste my time, I ain't never been no average bitch
Not to mention, I did my tour and that shit was winnin'
Independent, the headline, award of feelin'
I thank the Lord for all the blessings that he is given
I love the fans, they fill me up with their ammunition
I don't really talk shit but now I gotta off this
I don't know why bitches think we work in the same office
Corny bitches tryna keep up? Look exhausted
Wave the white flag, girl, you might as well just forfeit
My ex told me I was never gon' be shit
Lookie, lookie now, lookie now, nigga I'm that bitch
What you thought? Yeah, you really lost, now you kinda sick
But I ain't never need a nigga, I was always on my shit, yeah
I used to stare at magazines on the train
Lookin' at these models like, "I gotta be this one day"
Fuck around, got myself a name, now I'm gettin' paid
Left the corny bitches in the grave, so they throwin' shade

Cardi B

Born on October 11, 1992, and raised in The Bronx, New York, Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar—under the stage name Cardi B—is a rapper and TV personality known for her friendly attitude. From 2015 to 2017 she starred on the TV show Love & Hip Hop, on which she landed a role after she became popular on the internet due to her personality and stripping endeavors. Following her departure from the series, she attained success in music with her chart-topping summer smash “Bodak Yellow.” She is married to Migos member Offset. Cardi also gave birth to Kulture Kiari Cephus, Offset’s fourth child and Cardi’s first.

Cardi began her music career in 2015 and released two installments of her Gangsta Bitch Music mixtapes series up until January 2017. The tapes went by relatively quietly but caught the attention of Atlantic Records, where Cardi inked a deal in February of 2017. Shortly after, Cardi proved her worth when she entered the mainstream music scene with the release of her smash single “Bodak Yellow” on June 16, 2017. The single obtained the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100, which marked the first time a female rapper achieved this since Lauryn Hill did the same with “Doo Wop (That Thing)” in 1999. “Bodak Yellow” was certified 5x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA on February 28, 2018, for selling 5 million units in the US.

Speculations of a relationship between Cardi B and Offset arose in early 2017 after the two were repeatedly sighted together. On October 29, 2017, Offset proposed to Cardi on stage at a Philadelphia show. They have collaborated on what was at one point Cardi’s most popular single, “Lick,” Migos' “MotorSport,” “Um Yea,” and “Drip.”
