## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Pre-Verse: Lupe Fiasco]

*Think about it*

Yeah!

Shayla G up

FNF up

Yo, SG talk to these n\*\*\*as!

[Verse 1: Shayla G]

You calling me a bitch and that's only out of jealousy

It's not and I'm not, I'm just of another pedigree

I bust like greyhound, no other dog can get ahead of me

Around to live a legacy on MTV is below (Below, below)

[Pre-Verse: Lupe Fiasco]

Yeah!

Shayla G up

FNF up

Yo, SG talk to these n\*\*\*as!

[Verse 1: Shayla G]

You calling me a bitch and that's only out of jealousy

It's not and I'm not, I'm just of another pedigree

I bust like greyhound, no other dog can get ahead of me

Around to live a legacy on MTV is below me

I don't intimidate by holdin' onto guns

I roll around with those that's fresh [?]

And there's cash in a mass of an upper echelon

Mess with them it's like asking for [?]

[?] easily can take a [?] gas

And that's announced like them whitey's in apartheid

Pop out the noise, then you avoid the outside

Why don't you just come and meet me on the Southside?

From the go don't play as if you didn't know

When the pop off them things there ain't no dippin' low

Better not go for short like a [?] in different stroke

I'm rollin' on the strip just don't pay me like a hoe

[Chorus: Shayla G]

My heart don't pump no pump

I ain't the one that's trying to act tough

It's just that I'm not gonna leave in fear

So you better know, no chumps live here

My heart don't pump no pump

I ain't the one that's tryin' to act tough

It's just that I'm not gonna leave in fear

So you better know no chumps live here

[Verse 2: Shayla G]

You won't find a better chick with a rapper's etiquette

Subjecting credit kids, that's road intelligent

No, I'm not arrogant, the heir is inherited

I'm an Aquarius and underground it's Harriet

No hope when I sell it big, told that I'll sell it big

'Cause when I spit the barrel spin like go's of the heroin

I'll never leave and I'm gonna stick in right there with them

I'm gonna blow for the fans that do the heroin

This girl's official

Like the guys in the black and white stripes that's blowin' the whistles

And I ain't even talking gangsta or tough

But take my kindness for weakness, I'll beat your ass up

Make them seats that's an option I'll eat your ass up

In the past beyond the wall be a TV and all

There'll be blood that is drawn from you yapping your jaws

Making woof calls, that's without cause

[Chorus: Shayla G]

My heart don't pump no pump

I ain't the one that's trying to act tough

It's just that I'm not gonna leave in fear

So you better know no chumps live here

My heart don't pump no pump

I ain't the one that's trying to act tough

It's just that I'm not gonna leave in fear

So you better know no chumps live here
