1:01Searchin' through my memory

1:03My memory, I couldn't find one

1:04Last night I was gettin' my feet rubbed

1:06By the baddest bitch; not Trina, but I swear to God

1:08This bitch'll make you call your girl up and tell her

1:10"Hey, what's good?"

1:11"Sorry I'm never comin' home, I'mma stay for good"

1:13Then hang the phone up, and proceed to lay the wood

1:16I came fast like 9-1-1 in white neighborhoods

1:20Ain't got no shame bout it

1:21She think I'm spoiled and I'm rich cause I can have any bitch

1:23I got defensive and said "Nah, I was the same without it"

1:26But then I thought back, back to a better me

1:28Before I was a B-list celebrity

1:30Before I started callin' bitches "bitches" so heavily

1:32Back when you could get a platinum plaque without no melody

1:35You wasn't sweatin' me

1:36One time for my LA sisters

1:58That Jada and that Will love

1:59That leave a toothbrush at your crib love

2:01And you ain't gotta wonder whether that's your kid love

2:04Nigga I don't want no bitch from reality shows

2:07Out-of-touch-with-reality hoes

2:09Out in Hollywood, bringin' back 5 or 6 hoes

2:11Fuck em then we kick em to the do', nigga you know how it go

2:14She deserved that, she a bird, it's a bird trap

2:17You think if I didn't rap, she would flirt back?

2:19Takin' off her skirt, let her wear my shirt

2:21'Fore she leave—I'mma need my shirt back

2:23Nigga you know how it go

2:24One time for my LA sisters

2:47That says, fool me once

2:50Shame on

2:52Shame on you.

2:56Fool me

2:56You can't get fooled again

2:57Fool me one time, shame on you

3:00Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you

3:04Load the chopper, let it rain on you

3:07Fool me one time, shame on you

3:09Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you

3:12Fool me three times, fuck the peace sign

3:14Load the chopper, let it rain on you

3:16My only regret was too young for Lisa Bonet

3:18My only regret was too young for Nia Long

3:21Now all I'm left with is hoes from reality shows

3:23Hand her a script the bitch probably couldn't read along

3:26My only regret was too young for Sade Adu

3:28My only regret could never take Aaliyah home

3:30Now all I'm left with is hoes up in Greystone

3:33With the stale face cause they know it's they song

3:35She shallow, but the pussy deep (she shallow, she shallow)
