Lyrics

[Intro]
Icy

[Chorus]
You thought you was slick, but you slippin'
Almost had me thinkin' you was different
Now I'm out here wildin' with my niggas
Now I'm out here wildin' with my niggas
You thought you was slick, but you slippin', yeah, yeah
Almost had me thinkin' you was different, yeah, yeah
Now I'm out here wildin' with my niggas, yeah
Now I'm out here wildin' with my niggas
Out here wildin' with my niggas

[Verse 1]
Boy, you full of shit, I don't have no time, just check my wrist
Yeah you lyin' on your dick, but it ain't big enough for this
I just left the dealership, another anthem for the whip
Yeah, pull up in your driveway, break your window with a brick
You not tall enough, your bank account not long enough for this
Style is weak as fuck, your dick ain't bomb enough, boy, you a bitch
Yeah, played the queen for a pawn bitch, yawn, nigga, you borin'
Your side bitch look up to me, now step aside, you corny, bye

[Chorus]
You thought you was slick, but you slippin', yeah, yeah
Almost had me thinkin' you was different, yeah, yeah
Now I'm out here wildin' with my niggas (with my niggas)
Now I'm out here wildin' with my niggas (with my niggas)
You thought you was slick, but you slippin', yeah, yeah
Almost had me thinkin' you was different, yeah, yeah
Now I'm out here wildin' with my niggas, yeah
Now I'm out here wildin' with my niggas
Out here wildin' with my
[Verse 2]
You ran off with a jump off, find a bridge and go jump with her
Sam Jackson, you took an L, got no juice, that's Pulp Fiction
I've been in my bag, I got LVs on my tags
Got your role models in my phone and they all wanna smash
Ever since I cut you off, my skin glowin' like Rihanna's
I've been all about them commas, shoulda listened to my mama
Lookin' like I'm sellin' yay, pull up with that Donda
My new nigga bring me Prada, not that gossip or that drama

[Chorus]
You thought you was slick, but you slippin', yeah, yeah
Almost had me thinkin' you was different, yeah, yeah
Now I'm out here wildin' with my niggas (with my niggas)
Now I'm out here wildin' with my niggas (with my niggas)
You thought you was slick, but you slippin', yeah, yeah
You was slippin'
Almost had me thinkin' you was different, yeah, yeah
Bum ass nigga
Now I'm out here wildin' with my niggas, yeah
Now I'm out here wildin' with my niggas
Out here wildin' with my niggas

[Verse 3]
You got these bitches thinkin' that they're competition to me (but they ain't)
So now's the second-guessin' intuition I see (playin' games)
I gave you hella chances, I was trippin' (I was trippin')
Not a real one 'cause real niggas never fibbin' (never fibbin')
Bum ass nigga, don't include me in your mentions (in your mentions)
Got some big plans, you no longer in that vision (no, you lame)
You need to take a good look at what you're missin' (boy, you done)
Ever since I left your dumb ass I've been winnin' (bitch)
[Chorus]
You thought you was slick, but you slippin', yeah, yeah
Almost had me thinkin' you was different, yeah, yeah
Now I'm out here wildin' with my niggas (with my niggas)
Now I'm out here wildin' with my niggas (with my niggas)
You thought you was slick, but you slippin', yeah, yeah
You was slippin'
Almost had me thinkin' you was different, yeah, yeah
Bum ass nigga
Now I'm out here wildin' with my niggas, yeah
Now I'm out here wildin' with my niggas
Out here wildin' with my niggas
