## Audio

"**Circles**" is a song performed by Megan Thee Stallion. It serves as the second track from Megan's debut studio album, Good News

## Background

"Circles” follows Megan spitting about relationship struggles, from trust issues to speaking about personal feelings, and says she’s gonna turn this song into a “bad bitch song” for women dealing with similar problems.

The title of “Circles” and several of its lyrics are directly inspired by “Holding You Down (Goin' in Circles)”, a 2010 track by singer Jazmine Sullivan whose instrumental is heavily sampled throughout the song.

Meg revamps the original song’s subject matter of a dysfunctional relationship and puts a less distraught spin on it, making it clear throughout the song that she’s unfazed by the shenanigans as she can always find another guy.

## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

Yeah

Hey

Real hot girl shit

Ah

(Fuck that n\*gga)

Hey, hey

Baow, baow

**[Chorus]**

Look, why you wanna do the bad bitch wrong? (Huh?)

'Bout to make this every bad bitch song (Ayy)

Don't you hate when you hold a n\*gga down

Then he switch up on you, turn out to be a clown? (Ayy)

Look (Hey), I ain't in my feelings with it (In my feelings)

Turn around, poke it out, bitch, get it, get it (Get it, get it)

Turn up on 'em, make 'em kill the noise

We ain't goin' back and forth with the lil' boys

**[Verse 1]**

Shh, cut the noise

I ain't goin' back and forth with these lil' boys (Lil' boys)

I'm a February baby, I'm a big flirt (Big flirt)

I gotta give a n\*gga space when his feelings hurt (Hey, hey)

Ayy, look, cut the shit

I ain't goin' back and forth with a broke bitch (Broke bitch)

Jawbreaker, I ain't fuckin' with thе sucker shit (Yeah)

If I cut her off, thеn I mean it and it's fuck a bitch

The more I ignore you, the more you adore me (Yeah)

Crazy-ass n\*ggas need to come with a warnin' (Come with a warnin')

Is he crazy 'bout me or he just crazy? You been trippin' lately (Yeah, yeah)

N\*gga too attached, got him actin' like a titty baby (Yeah)

Bullet wounds, backstabs, mama died, still sad

At war with myself, in my head, bitch, it's Baghdad (Yeah)

New n\*gga tryna come around and play clean (Hmm)

And my clothes fit tight, but my heart need a seamstress (Ah)

**[Chorus]**

Look, why you wanna do the bad bitch wrong? (What?)

'Bout to make this every bad bitch song (Ayy)

Don't you hate when you hold a n\*gga down

Then he switch up on you, turn out to be a clown? (Ayy)

Look, I ain't in my feelings with it (In my feelings)

Turn around, poke it out, bitch, get it, get it (Get it, get it)

Turn up on 'em, make 'em kill the noise

We ain't goin' back and forth with the lil' boys

**[Verse 2]**

One, never let a n\*gga see you sweat (Never)

Two, never let these n\*ggas come between a check (Yeah)

Three, never let a n\*gga turn you 'gainst me (Hey)

'Cause the dick come and go, but I'm ridin' past E (Ayy)

Keep that shit player, I don't like gettin' personal

Treat 'em like a job, when I get 'em, I'm workin' 'em (Workin')

N\*ggas love usin' Instagram like a journal (Yeah)

Just like my ass, n\*ggas talkin' in a circle (Baow-baow-baow)

Why n\*ggas love to talk down? I don't know (I don't know)

Like I ain't keepin' all the facts in my phone

Like I ain't got the pictures of you beggin' for forgiveness (Yeah)

I ain't gotta do the most, I know what the real is (I know what the real is)

Ain't the jealous type, please don't believe the hype (Please)

You can't make me mad with some shit that I'ma like (That I'ma like)

Don't mean to be intrusive, but you thinkin' you exclusive

When a party ain't a party if my bitches ain't included (Ah, ah)

**[Chorus]**

Look, why you wanna do the bad bitch wrong? (What?)

'Bout to make this every bad bitch song (Ayy)

Don't you hate when you hold a n\*gga down

Then he switch up on you, turn out to be a clown? (Ayy)

Look, I ain't in my feelings with it (In my feelings)

Turn around, poke it out, bitch, get it, get it (Get it, get it)

Turn up on 'em, make 'em kill the noise

We ain't goin' back and forth with the lil' boys

**[Outro]**

Why you wanna do the bad bitch wrong?

'Bout to make this every bad bitch song, ayy

Don't you hate when you hold a n\*gga down

Then he switch up on you, turn out to be a clown? Ayy

Look, I ain't in my feelings with it

Turn around, poke it out, bitch, get it, get it

Turn up on 'em, make 'em kill the noise

We ain't goin' back and forth with the lil' boys

We ain't goin' back and forth with the lil' boys
