Diamond on the ring finger blinging on my hand (My hand)
Sativa or Indica, it don’t matter what the strain
The worst drug of all, the addiction to a man (A man, oh)
Insecurе, real jealous, bitter littlе man (A man)
Cursing, beat a woman, but he never hit a man (A man)
Man, yeah, you such a man, damn (A man)
Like Tina in a limo, well, b!tch had to go ham, scram (Aah)
F**k I look like? (Brr) I wish I would like (Yeah)
Wasted a couple years, now I’m good like (Yeah)
It’s worth the pain, I’ma still have a good life
Still be a great mother, still be a good wife

And I don’t care how the media perceives me
I just do it for the girls who ain’t never had it easy (Oh)
The woman who conceived me, the girl in the mirror (Oh)
That just cries when she sees me, easy, I’m breezy
Finger on the trigger yelling, “Squeeze me, relieve me” (Oh)
I thought that everyone who loved me would leave me
But, f**k that, I love this new chick named Me-me (I love)
First things first, all my girls, know your worth
Self-love is the greatest love on Earth (Yeah)
Cry your eyes out, get it out, it’s the worst
But love don’t hurt, no
