Patiently waitin' and takin' my time
Watchin' these haters done come with they rhymes
Watchin' these suckers all mimickin', gimmickin'
Then they start fallin' off one at a time
You be the searcher but you never could find
I promise you durrty I'm one of a kind
Mold is broken, the formula's mine
I killed the idea and destroyed the design

I was patiently waitin' and takin' my time
Now that I'm here I'm gettin' my shine
All of you haters can kiss my behind
Specifically speakin 'I'm talkin ''bout mine
Don't need you to tell me I know that I'm fine
I'm killin' it baby so call it a crime
Yeah you watch it but I'm stealin' my time
I told you before that big girls don't cry

Where my party people at?

Just walked through the door, what's it gonna be?
