A minute ago, you was a nerd and nobody ever heard of ya Now you a wannabe... hard You barely know your ABC's, please There's plenty of people out there with triggers ready to pull it Why you tryna jump in front of the bullet (Young lady)? Uh, and real bad girls are the silent type Ain't none of this worth gettin' your face sliced 'Cause that's what happened to your homegirl, right? (Barking with no bite!) She got to wear that for life (Who you callin' a bitch? Uh!)
