You don't want her, I'll take her off your hands and do you a favour (favour)
You might not regret it now but you gon' regret it later (later)
I'm about my paper, stapler right on the side of my hip (hip)
In case a hater want it, in case he decide to trip
Platinum plannin', shippin' and handlin', see these are digital sales (digital sales)
Used to push E up from the scale but now it's legitimate skrill
