Ty Dolla $ign

Lyrics

[Intro: Billie Piper & YG]
I've been feelin' kinda strange lately
I don't know what's goin' on, baby
Ever since I came back from outta town
Something's tellin' me some bullshit is goin' down (Mustard on the beat, ho)

[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
You ain't never 'fraid to be by yourself
You ain't never 'fraid to be by yourself
Say you ain't afraid to be by yourself (By yourself)
Say you ain't afraid to be by yourself (Ooh, ooh)
You don't need a man, you do it by yourself
Oh, oh, oh-oh
You did it by yourself
Ayy, ayy, ayy

[Verse 1: Ty Dolla $ign]
Well is you single? Where my single ladies?
Stacked your bread and bought your own Mercedes (Vroom, vroom)
You your own boss, do it your way (Way)
Quick to tell a broke nigga, "Go away" (Go away)
You ain't never 'bout no drama (Nah, nah)
You ain't prеssed (Pressed)
You want biggеr things and better things (Things)
Put that work in, stay on your job
You don't break a sweat (No, oh), uh
In the mirror takin' pics 'cause you know you the shit
[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign & Jhené Aiko]
You ain't never 'fraid to be by yourself
You ain't never 'fraid to be by yourself
Say you ain't afraid to be by yourself (By yourself)
Say you ain't afraid to be by yourself (Ooh, ooh)
You don't need a man, you do it by yourself
Oh, oh, oh-oh
You did it by yourself
Ayy, ayy, ayy (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Jhené Aiko]
You know I do this shit on my own
Pockets long, I'm so grown, I'm so godly
Even when alone, I'm never lonely
Only call him up when I am horny, haha
Yeah, I'm that bitch and I know it (And I know it)
And I don't even need nobody else to notice
I be ridin' through the hood bumpin' my own shit
Headed to the crib right by the ocean
Yeah, I did it, I did it, I do it all by myself, yeah
I get it, I get it, don't need nobody else, ooh woah

[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign & Jhené Aiko]
You ain't never 'fraid to be by yourself
You ain't never 'fraid to be by yourself
Say you ain't afraid to be by yourself (By yourself)
Say you ain't afraid to be by yourself (Ooh, ooh)
You don't need a man, you do it by yourself
Oh, oh, oh-oh
You did it by yourself
Ayy, ayy, ayy (Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh woah)
[Outro: Billie Piper & Ty Dolla $ign]
No more sittin' at home alone
While you're 'round with somebody else
No more starin' at the phone
'Cause I can do bad all by myself
By yourself, by yourself, by yourself
