How she walk through swingin' that body
Yellin', "Who gon' stop me?" (Stop me)
You ain't got the time to clock me
Ooh, got that nani, nani, nani (nani)
Big bag, I'ma fill it up with money
Yellin', "Who gon' stop me?" (Stop me)
You ain't got the time to clock me
Pull the, pull the, pull the cameras out
A bitch be lookin' too good
My name in her mouth, I tell that ho to chew up
Lambo match the Loubis, pretty bitch and, yeah, my mood up
Ain't worried 'bout them hoes talkin' down 'cause I'm too up
I'm bougie, moody, tannin' in my Louis
It's a privilege just to say you knew me
If I, if I double back, he overpayin' not to lose me
My bestie ain't an actor, but we always make a movie (that's right)
Like plane, Sprinter, glam to the club
Back door, section, shots, another club
Two shows, one night, what's that? A hundred-plus
Whole room full of bad bitches, it's a lot of us
Ooh, got that nani, nani, nani (nani)
How she walk through swingin' that body
Yellin', "Who gon' stop me?" (Stop me)
You ain't got the time to clock me
Ooh, got that nani, nani, nani (nani)
Big bag, I'ma fill it up with money
Yellin', "Who gon' stop me?" (Stop me)
You ain't got the time to clock me
Nani, nani good (good), nani sweet
Mention me, you get them retweets
I got that body, know I, know I got that body (body)
Watch, it tick-tick, you obsessin' all about me (I know that's right, uh)
Keep, keep it cunty, OMG, I look like money
Could have been a Playboy Bunny, look at all this body on me, bad
Dancin' in the mirror, all a bitch can do is brag
Another day, another fuckin' bag like
Plane, Sprinter, glam to the club
Back door, section, shots, another club
Two shows, one night, what's that? A hundred-plus
Whole room full of bad bitches, it's a lot of us
Ooh, got that nani, nani, nani (nani)
How she walk through swingin' that body
Yellin', "Who gon' stop me?" (Stop me)
You ain't got the time to clock me
Ooh, got that nani, nani, nani (nani)
Big bag, I'ma fill it up with money
Yellin', "Who gon' stop me?" (Stop me)
You ain't got the time to clock me
Ooh, got that nani, nani, nani (nani)
How she walk through swingin' that body
'Cause who gon' stop me, bitch? Not you
I know that's right
And I'm out
