[Intro: Big Freedia]
I wanna know who mothafuckin' representin' in here tonight
Brooklyn!
Uptown!
Hold on, hold on
[Pre-Chorus: Lauryn Hill Sample & Lauryn Hill]
Hold on
I keep lettin' you back in (Hey) you back in
How can I, explain myself?
Care for me, (Hey) care for me, you said you'd (Hey) care for me (What yall know about that)
There for me, there for me, said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me, (Yo, yo) you said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me, why won't you live for me?
[Chorus:]
See this is Ex-Factor
He took the sample
My shit is classic
Here’s an example
Of how we niced it up on a rhythm so many wanna
Spice it up on a rhythm
See this is Ex-Factor
We took the sample
My shit is classic
Here’s an example
Of how we niced it up on a rhythm so many wanna
Spice it up on a rhythm (Listen)
[Verse 1:]
You know I'm only here 'til manana
Catch the plane so I can go to Punta Cana
Ripped up jeans and I'm Balenciaga mama
With dread dem who like to sing song, like satta massagana
I'm in the short natural like I'm Lola Folana
Birthed two lions codename Black Madonna
[?] head gear from Botswana
Backyard it's
[?] we no longer nana's
Watch that shit we go bananas
Watch that shit we go bananas
[Refrain]
I'm the original
I turned the paradigm
Who be the written * who be the mastermind
See how I sliced it up on this rhythm
So many wanna spice it up on this rhythm
I'm the original
I burned the paradigm
So many, wanna
See how I sliced it up on this rhythm
So many wanna spice it up on this rhythm
[Verse 2]
So stop actin' like you didn't grow up singing my songs
I stoop down on this bitch like I had wings on my own
I transcended speak truth like I wrote the amendments
Sorry if you offended it's the truth that I mean
Birds, beans, and, *pie, we take it the same
Mention my name its the same [?] they like [?] the brain
My shit still doin' the thing
My shit still raise the pain
Halabit* the world before we came
We conquered before we came
Emoji's and all flames
And the game was never the same
And the game was never the same
And the-
[Refrain]
I'm the original
I burned the paradigm
Who be the written [?] who be the mastermind
See how I sliced it up on this rhythm
So many wanna spice it up on this rhythm
