So ain't nobody iller than me
And I ain't being cocky I'm just saying
It's time for me to do me
Time for me to live my life
And I ain't worried bout y'all
All you hating ass broads

So give me my elbow room
It's time for me to come through

Doing mine and I ain't through

And I'm even bitchier when I'm on my menstrual

Basic insurance and it don't include dental,
Dental, dental, yes bitch I'm mental
Plus I'm in the big boy and it's not a rental
Shit ain't sweet unless it's the Presidential

Stay fly, you can call me "have a safe flight"
And my wrist froze, stage fright

I ain't through
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a live it up
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a do it up
I gotta live it
I ain't through (I ain't)
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a live it up
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a do it up
Oh no

About to take over yeah this is my year
Coming and I ain't gonna stop this here
And ain't nobody iller than me
I'm on one and I ain't gon' stop

Say it if you know what I'm talking about
Let's get this money, let's get this money

So give me my elbow room
It's time for me to come through

I'm shining like my time,
I'm shining like my purse
I'm shining like my shoes
See I've been here on my grind
Doing mine and I ain't through

I ain't through
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a live it up
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a do it up
I gotta live it
I ain't through (I ain't)
