## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Verse 1: Nikki Jean]

Who dat? The way you walk, so pulled back

I get it, you work from fitted to snapback

Got the every weekend used to rock the backpack

Get it who you want it when she like it half-back

Ooh-ooh, smelling like Queen Helene

Ooh-ooh, black and white, you so clean

[Pre-Hook: Nikki Jean]

The way you do girls dirty, life is real

Death to the fake, shit's how I feel

Take how you take it, seen a lot of cases

Ugly truths, be on pretty faces so

You ain't gotta lie, you ain't gotta lie

You ain't gotta lie, you ain't gotta lie

When you see me walk on by, walk on by

Haha, you ain't gotta lie

[Hook: Nikki Jean]

The whips so clean and he fit so clean

Hit the scuffle on the ground because the kicks so clean

But I know it real, way you look at me

You kinda made me feel (*Dirty*), you know you real (*Dirty, dirty*)

[Verse 2: Nikki Jean]

That's almost never true

I dont know how to say that I never do

And you could make me a better, do

Let me take you out tonight and put you in a better mood

Nice, you know what to say

You don't wear your socks twice before you throw them away

You drink single malt with ice, you don't know what you got

I'm not saying that I love you, I just notice a lot

You, clean

[Pre-Hook: Nikki Jean]

Life is real

Death to the fake, shit's how I feel

Take how you take it, seen a lot of cases

Ugly truths, be on pretty faces so

You ain't gotta lie, you ain't gotta lie

You ain't gotta lie, you ain't gotta lie

When you see me walk on by, walk on by

Haha, you ain't gotta lie

[Hook: Nikki Jean]

The whips so clean and he fit so clean

Hit the scuffle on the ground because the kicks so clean

But I know it real, way you look at me

You kinda made me feel (*Dirty*), you know you real (*Dirty, dirty*)

The whips so clean and he fit so clean

Hit the scuffle on the ground because the kicks so clean

But I know it real, way you look at me

You kinda made me feel (*Dirty*), you know you real (*Dirty, dirty*)

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]

Yeah

Uhh, Brand dragon, (Yeah!)

And snapping (Thus), and packing (Thus)

And platinum recipient

A hand clapping

I got receipts, from transactions

I was fighting cases, flying spaceships

Buyin' chocolates, might chime a waitress

Knock the fucker down to get off that wait-list

And get first in line, I be jumping places

You too good for me

Cuz you a woman blessed (Love)

All that tax-free made me a fucking mess

Still ain't shit babe

I do you wrong

Nikki Jean, what's going on!

[Pre-Hook: Nikki Jean, *Lupe Fiasco*]

You ain't gotta lie, you ain't gotta lie (*You think I will?*)

You ain't gotta lie, you ain't gotta lie (*You know I won't*)

When you see me walk on by, walk on by

Haha, you ain't gotta lie

[Hook: Nikki Jean]

The whips so clean and he fit so clean

Hit the scuffle on the ground because the kicks so clean

But I know it real, way you look at me

You kinda made me feel (*Dirty*), you know you real (*Dirty, dirty*)

The whips so clean and he fit so clean

Hit the scuffle on the ground because the kicks so clean

But I know it real, way you look at me

You kinda made me feel (*Dirty*), you know you real (*Dirty, dirty*)
