Verse 1
I need that, I need that, I need that- Lil' white bitch on Depop, she a lil' teapot Two left feet, them Reeboks Shawty did freelance, now she a free thot
This verse sets the tone with a catchy hook and playful imagery. The "lil' white bitch on Depop" suggests a trendy, maybe superficial character, while "two left feet" hints at clumsiness. The vibe is light but with a hint of sarcasm as he talks about someone who’s now free-spirited, maybe even careless. It introduces a layer of casual humor, and you can almost picture the scene he’s describing.
Should've never left the bitch alone with my sea moss Now the bitch skip-hip-hoppin' in my Reeboks Talking 'bout a detox, pussy like a beatbox All grown up, bitch lookin' like Selena
Here, he contrasts the playful nature with a hint of regret or loss. “Sea moss” is a nod to health trends, which makes the line funny and relatable. The “skip-hip-hoppin'” line brings a lively image, showing that life is moving fast. The reference to Selena adds a layer of nostalgia and beauty, while the beatbox comparison adds a cheeky twist, emphasizing rhythm and fun.
Chorus
I need that, I need that, I need that Lil' white bitch on Depop, she a lil' teapot Two left feet, them Reeboks
The chorus repeats the catchy phrase and reinforces the playful and demanding tone. It’s almost like a mantra, showing his desire for something or someone that captures his attention. The repetition makes it memorable, and it keeps the energy flowing. It’s a fun hook that sums up the vibe of the verses, making you want to bounce along.
Verse 2
Shawty did freelance, now she a free thot Should've never left the bitch alone with my sea moss Now the bitch skip-hip-hoppin' in my Reeboks Talking 'bout a detox, pussy like a beatbox
In this second verse, we see more of the same playful tone but with a deeper sense of context. The idea of “freelance” and “free thot” is clever, showing how life choices can lead to unexpected freedom or chaos. The metaphor of sea moss becomes a symbol of trust or care that was misplaced. It’s almost like he’s reflecting on the unpredictability of relationships while keeping it light.
All grown up, bitch lookin' like Selena (I need that, I need that, I need that-)
The reference to Selena again emphasizes beauty and maturity. It gives a sense of admiration but also a touch of longing. The repetition of “I need that” keeps the urgency alive, showing he’s still searching for something meaningful. This blend of admiration and desire keeps the listener engaged.
Chorus
Lil' white bitch on Depop, she a lil' teapot Two left feet, them Reeboks Shawty did freelance, now she a free thot
The chorus returns, reinforcing the catchy nature of the song. It’s almost like a reminder of the characters in his life. The repetition makes it feel like a party anthem, one you’d want to shout out loud. It maintains the playful, carefree energy that runs throughout the track.
Bridge
Greaze, I feel sorry for Skepta They copied his flow, but they said that it's a new flow Imitation don't flatter me, but it's cool though Shouldn't ever left the guy alone in my studio
In this bridge, he shifts gears slightly, showing a more serious side. He’s acknowledging the influence of others in the industry, particularly Skepta, showing respect while also calling out imitation. It adds depth to the song, reminding us that even in the fun, there’s a competitive edge. The line about the studio suggests a creative rivalry, making it personal.
Put them in a coffin, get the man a tombstone Yeah, I got half of the price of a Q though Livin' like a boss man, nothin' like Hugo (huh?)
This part continues the competitive theme. The imagery of a coffin is strong, hinting at burying the competition. The mention of “half the price of a Q” brings in street culture, talking about hustling and making deals. The line about living like a boss adds to the ambition, showing he’s not just playing around but is serious about success.
Outro
When the plug turn paigon, tweakin', talkin' inflation (huh?) Peace is needed, gettin' impatient Blud, everybody gettin' complacent Leg work, step on the pavement
The outro wraps things up with a feeling of urgency. He’s talking about the hustle and the pressure of the game, hinting at economic struggles and the need for peace. It’s a call to action, showing that complacency isn’t an option. The phrase “step on the pavement” suggests that he’s ready to keep moving forward.
Closing Thoughts

Lil' white bitch on Depop, she a lil' teapot
Two left feet, them Reeboks
Shawty did freelance, now she a free thot
Should've never left the bitch alone with my sea moss
Now the bitch skip-hip-hoppin' in my Reeboks
Talking 'bout a detox, pussy like a beatbox
All grown up, bitch lookin' like Selena
That booty ch- (I need that, I need that, I need that-)
Lil' white bitch on Depop, she a lil' teapot
Two left feet, them Reeboks
Shawty did freelance, now she a free thot
Should've never left the bitch alone with my sea moss
Now the bitch skip-hip-hoppin' in my Reeboks
Talking 'bout a detox, pussy like a beatbox
All grown up, bitch lookin' like Selena
That booty ch- (I need that, I need that, I need that-)
Lil' white bitch on Depop, she a lil' teapot
Two left feet, them Reeboks
Shawty did freelance, now she a free thot
Should've never left the bitch alone with my sea moss
Now the bitch skip-hip-hoppin' in my Reeboks
Talking 'bout a detox, pussy like a beatbox
All grown up, bitch lookin' like Selena
That booty- (could've been, could've been, could've been)
Could've been certi', could've been a G
Should've never snitched, why you talkin' to police?
Now they lookin' at you funny when you walkin' down the street
Lookin' at you like food, tryna see what they can eat
Me, I'm like Wallo and Gillie with the game
You don't really wanna act silly, behave
When I walk on stage, then a milli' gets made
I need that, I need that, I need that
Greaze, I feel sorry for Skepta
They copied his flow, but they said that it's a new flow
Imitation don't flatter me, but it's cool though
Shouldn't ever left the guy alone in my studio
Put them in a coffin, get the man a tombstone
Yeah, I got half of the price of a Q though
Livin' like a boss man, nothin' like Hugo (huh?)
I need that, I need that, I need that good price
When the plug turn paigon, tweakin', talkin' inflation (huh?)
Peace is needed, gettin' impatient
Blud, everybody gettin' complacent
Leg work, step on the pavement
Victory lap, I'm back in the station (bow, bow, bow)
I'm really a psycho, Patrick Bateman
If you see her with me, she's taken
Lil' white bitch on Depop, she a lil' teapot
Two left feet, them Reeboks
Shawty did freelance, now she a free thot
Should've never left the bitch alone with my sea moss
Now the bitch skip-hip-hoppin' in my Reeboks
Talking 'bout a detox, pussy like a beatbox
All grown up, bitch lookin' like Selena
(I need that, I need that, I need that, I need that-)
Lil' white bitch on Depop, she a lil' teapot
Two left feet, them Reeboks
Shawty did freelance, now she a free thot
Should've never left the bitch alone with my sea moss
Now the bitch skip-hip-hoppin' in my Reeboks
Talking 'bout a detox, pussy like a beatbox
All grown up, bitch lookin' like Selena
I need that, I need that, I need that
I smoke loud, but I never get lousy
Black swan, Darren Aronofsky
Plug said he want 16 for the pound
But I'm tryna get it under a rack like Saudi
Iced out watch, and my diamonds, they cloudy
Four rings, never came with the Audi
Grills like Foreman
I put my money where my mouth is
And I don't want to smile, just 'low me
No new friends, I got mob ties
Where would I be without the guys?
We get fly, argue a thousand times
We tell jokes 'til the tears come out your eyes
You know the haters hate when you're out of sight
I hear them say we sold out
Yeah, we sold out everything except humble pie
One slice cut a man down to size, like
Could've been certi', could've been a G
Should've never snitched, why you talkin' to police?
Now they lookin' at you funny when you walkin' down the street
Lookin' at you like food, tryna see what they can eat
Me, I'm like Wallo and Gillie with the game
You don't really wanna act silly, behave
When I walk on stage, then a milli' gets made
I need that, I need that, I need that
Lil' white bitch on Depop, she a lil' teapot
Two left feet, them Reeboks
Shawty did freelance, now she a free thot
Should've never left the bitch alone with my sea moss
Now the bitch skip-hip-hoppin' in my Reeboks
Talking 'bout a detox, pussy like a beatbox
All grown up, bitch lookin' like Selena
I need that, I need that, I need that
