00:40Instinct leads me to another flow.
00:43Every time I hear a brother call a girl up or a hoe.
00:46Tryin' to make her sister feel low, you know all I got to go.
00:50Now everybody knows there's exceptions to this rule.
00:52I don't be gettin' mad when we playin', it's cool.
00:54But don't you be callin' me out in my name.
00:57I bring grip to those who disrespect me like a dame.
01:00That's why I'm talkin'.
01:01One day I was walkin' down the block,
01:03I had my cut-off shorts all right.
01:06I walked past these dudes when they passed me.
01:09Whenever I felt my booty, he was nasty.
01:11I turned around red, somebody was catchin' the rap.
01:14You hear me, bitch?
01:16Since he was with his boys, he tried to break flops.
01:18I put your dead in the eyes.
01:20Say, who you want?

01:42I hit the bottom, there ain't not need way elsewhere to go but up.
01:44Bad days it won't when you're in attitude, and you will rep.
01:47Nobody can touch me, but that's about enough.
01:49You put your hands on me again, but your head in handcuffs.
01:51I guess I fell so deep in love, I grew dependency.
01:54I was too blind to see just how it was affecting me
01:56All that I knew was you was all the man I had
01:58And I was scared to let him go
02:00Even though he treated me bad
02:02But now I wanna see my kids see me get beat down
