Readin' sh*t on the internеt

My smoothie cleanse and my diet

No, I ain't f*ck Drake yet (Ha)

Pre-Chorus: Lizzo

Realer sh*t is goin' on, baby, take a look around

If you thought that I was ratchet with my ass hangin' out

Just wait until the summer when they let me out the house, b*tch

Look, I'm a Bronx b*tch with some pop hits

Used to pop off when they pop sh*t (Woo)

But I'm calmed down and I'm locked in
