## Lyrics

[Intro: *Shonka Dukureh*]

Yeah, ah, get it

Yeah, ah, get it

Yeah, yeah, ah, get it

*Yeah, ah, get it*

*Yeah, ah, get it*

*Yeah*

[Chorus: Doja Cat, *Shonka Dukureh*]

*You ain't nothin' but a*

Dog, player, ah, get it

Fraud, player, ah, get it

I understand, I understand

You ain't the man, you ain't a man

*You ain't nothin' but a*

Hound dog, hound dog, hound dog

*You ain't nothin' but a*

[Verse 1: Doja Cat, *Shonka Dukureh*]

Player gettin' valeted around in that ho whip

Two fingers up, one down with my toes ten

Flewed out with my boobs out, put a cork in it

Love it when you be cryin' out when I'm corseted

I don't think he gon' make it, do not let me start ragin'

\*\*\*\*, I'm losin' my patience, this ain't stayin' in Vegas (*You ain't nothin' but a*)

There's more sides to the story, I'ma tell everybody

Had your ass sittin' courtside with your arm around me

Had your ass sittin' first class with your burnt ass out in Abu Dhabi

Coulda been what we shoulda been

But you lost a bet, now you gotta find me

Find a seat

I ain't playin', that's hide and seek

High school when you finally peaked

Hound dog, come find a treat

I'm a bad bitch, but

[Chorus: Doja Cat, *Shonka Dukureh*]

You ain't nothin' but a

Dog, player, ah, get it

Fraud, player, ah, get it

I understand, I understand

You ain't the man, you ain't a man

*You ain't nothin' but a*

Hound dog, hound dog, hound dog (Yeah, yeah, said)

*You ain't nothin' but a*

[Verse 2: Doja Cat, *Shonka Dukureh*]

I get it, I know you got some other \*\*\*\* you wanted

I get it, you needed someone that could prove you wrong

So I reckon you leave all of your problems at the door to my city

You gon' need to tell my brothers where you from

And I admit it, I still got empathy

And you gon' feel it for two weeks when I release you in them sheets (*You ain't nothin' but a*)

And keep my meanin' discreet, keep the cleanin' my gym

Then put that Yeezy in your teeth, let my demons off they leashes

If you even think to speak, I'ma give a whole new meanin'

When you said you live in a dream, we can keep that \*\*\*\* asleep

And you gon' laugh with all your Gs

Countin' them sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep

Talkin' 'bout Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z, R.I.P

[Chorus: Doja Cat, *Shonka Dukureh*]

*You ain't nothin' but a*

Dog, player, ah, get it

Fraud, player, ah, get it

I understand, I understand

You ain't the man, you ain't a man

*You ain't nothin' but a*

Hound dog, hound dog, hound dog

*You ain't nothin' but a*

Dog, player, ah, get it

Fraud, player, ah, get it

I understand, I understand

You ain't the man, you ain't a man

*You ain't nothin' but a*

Hound dog, hound dog, hound dog

*You ain't nothin' but a*

[Outro: *Shonka Dukureh*]

*Yeah, ah, get it*

*Yeah, ah, get it*

*Yeah, yeah, ah, get it*

*Yeah, ah, get it*

*Yeah, yeah, ah, get it*

*Yeah, you ain't nothin' but a*
