## Lyrics

[Intro: Brandy]

Check it out, check it, check it out

'Bout to show y'all what this bitch is all about

[Verse 1: Brandy]

My pen game is Saddam Hussein to your brain

So insane, I got him in chains like a slave

Never been afraid, go against the grain like a fade

A renegade, I blew up the lane like grenades

I been the best of the best and the rest just slain

Gave you all the hits, now let me give you this pain

I'm a top charter, the top of the top shotta

I pop a lot of lip, I'm that bitch, the shit starter, uh

Now what you know about writin' every rhyme?

Spittin' every flow and bodyin' every line?

I body everybody, my body of work shines

When it's all said and done, I'm the greatest of all time

Now, bow to the queen of right now

Wow, you actin' like you don't know my style?

Wow, you bitches want beef? I bring the cow

When Xplicit come through, watch 'em all back down

[Refrain: Naturi Naughton]

Yo, yo, all right

I'ma come in right here, hold up

Wait, I got it, I got it

Uh, check it

[Verse 2: Naturi Naughton]

Young and reckless, they called us bitches and hoes

Only God can judge me, 'cause Heaven only knows

It's harder to live right when you living in sin

I used to think the best thing in life was chasing men

The preacher's daughter, I wanted fame and the glory

But I ain't trippin', 'cause it's all part of my story

Papa don't preach, I know it seems wild

I'm not in trouble deep, I'm God's child

I could have the world at my feet and do it right this time

I'm taking the right path and let my light shine, so

Dear Father, forgive me for my sins

But I'm chasing my dreams 'cause I was born to win, uh

[Verse 3: Nadine Velazquez]

Born to win, Jill, you so right

It's a queen's thing, baby, we bad bitches for life

I been around the world, forty days, forty nights

Forty carats, forty chains, Miami Vice

Butter Pecan, all real, forty mill’

Forty acres, forty cars, and whip appeal

P. Sex to my left, what's the deal?

Let's hit a villa in Bali, champagne and chill

Top of the world, top floor, penthouses

Lobster and shrimp, one dinner is ten thousand

Tell Xplicit, we goin' to whenever

September or November, October or December

Ha, I coulda ended that better, but whateva

[Verse 4: Pepi Sonuga]

I really, really work my body sittin' in my Bugatti

Chillin' while I'm killin' Hibachi, drippin' Versace

Trippin', I'm a nasty girl in a nasty world

Make the classiest and ratchets wanna take a nasty tour

Was an introvert and muddy, but I'm in the dirt

Now my same bullies gotta ask me for a picture first

Flip a verse, did it work, still on top

Went from the block to the Billboard charts, and I still won't stop

Smooth as the Land O'Lakes, you, you's a fan of me

Feet cocked, I'm sittin' on the couch watching Anime

A big watch with a big chain, a big house on Biscayne

I switched out that big lane

My big mouth got big fame, I been that

[Verse 5: Eve]

They say you can't make a hoe a housewife, I beg different

Grey sweats turn into lingerie in a minute

Proud Mary, proud mommy, I does it all

Made it through the struggle, stumble but never fall

Look, you wanna see me humble? I want the crown

Sky's the limit, can't keep a good mom down

Gave my soul to you, body and all of the above

In the end, you was lookin' for a teenage love

I'm a queen though, I glow, kick him to the side

On my Mary J. Blige shit, I'm not gon' cry

I'm a grown ass woman, need a man, not a boy

Tricks are for kids, and you can never play me like a toy

After everything I gave you, cooked for you, bathed you

I was every woman and I never would've played you

But too bad, you lost the best you ever had

And I'm still fly, I bring the beach to the sand

I keep the upper hand, drop jewels like I'm Jacob

Time for me to put back on the heels and the make-up

Back up with my girls, no time to waste

P. Sex, Nasty Bitches, always in first place, ha
