00:00 Here are three things that will make me look at y'all sideways.
00:03 Being a fake ass bitch, being two-faced, and being phony.
00:05 That's a one.
00:06 Two, like a sneaky man.
00:08 I'ma say man for the girls who cannot say the N-word.
00:10 And a third thing is playing with my money.
00:12 Like my money, my business, my success.
00:14 I'ma do more than look at you sideways.
00:16 I'ma go up your head sideways.
00:18 Sideways is a mood.
00:28 This is empowerment.
00:29 Sideways is empowerment.
00:30 We all need to feel that confidence.
00:32 We all need to know that no matter how many people against you, they cannot take you down.
00:37 Bitch, I ain't friendly.
00:40 I don't fuck with y'all bitches.
00:42 Try to take who?
00:43 It ain't enough for y'all bitches.
00:45 Whole soul phony got me looking at 'em sideways.
00:48 It'll never be the same.
00:49 Motherfuck the old days.
00:51 Pretty in the face, but my attitude stank.
00:54 Either way, this nigga still going to the bank.
00:57 Bitch I'm up now.
00:58 I give a fuck what you think.
00:59 Bitch I'm up now.
01:00 I give a fuck what you think.
01:01 You know how a person will fuck you over and then they want to bring up the old days?
01:05 I miss how it used to be.
01:07 Fuck the old days.
01:08 That shit is done.
01:09 Once you rub me the wrong way, I don't want to see no old pictures of us.
01:13 I don't want to see nothing.
01:14 No memories.
01:15 Don't send me no Snapchats.
01:16 Fuck it.
01:17 Fuck the old days.
01:18 I have a Range Rover.
01:26 The new Range Rover.
01:27 And the leather is purple and it remind me of Waukesha.
01:30 You know, I was just wrapping my life like hopping out the range with the Waukesha leather.
01:35 I'm just me.
01:36 I can't unblock you.
01:37 No boy, not never.
01:39 If you really care, pussy nigga, write a letter.
01:41 That's deep.
01:42 If you really care about me, you ain't going to just DM me.
01:45 You ain't going to just email me.
01:46 You going to write a letter.
01:47 Let's stop letting them call us private.
01:49 Let's make them write letters in 2020 motherfucking four, five, six, seven and eight.
01:52 It's not only with city girls.
02:00 It's with my boyfriend.
02:01 They don't never see me with him.
02:02 I just really enjoy my me time.
02:04 That's just me.
02:05 I would help you get dressed to get the fuck out the door.
02:09 I'm not going to lie.
02:10 That's something I do enjoy.
02:11 My me time, my alone time.
02:13 It's not that deep.
02:15 Because people be like, "Where Jay-Z?"
02:17 I'm right here.
02:18 If it bitches that will really make up in their head they beefing with you, you ain't
02:27 even bad bitch and you think I'm beefing with you?
02:29 Come on now with your raggedy ass.
02:31 That's why it's just a key.
02:34 I had to laugh on that part.
02:36 You have to let a bitch know.
02:37 No beef.
02:38 You're not bad.
02:39 Go ahead.
02:40 It's the truth.
02:44 We be PMSing.
02:45 Stay the fuck out of our way.
02:46 It's just about being a woman.
02:48 Speaking up.
02:49 Saying what we really be thinking in our heads.
02:51 We only get two weeks of being normal a month.
02:53 So it's like, don't give me no bullshit.
02:55 Let me cramp in peace.
02:56 Got a good lawyer that'll take off the case.
02:59 Got a Haitian nigga that'll take off your face.
03:01 On house arrest but he still on the way.
03:04 This pussy that good.
03:06 I swear made him fuck up his re-up and he still care.
03:10 If you make somebody fuck up their re-up and they still care about you, you got some good
03:15 vagina.
03:16 You good because the re-up money is serious.
03:19 I'm a trip you need a passport to fuck with me the way these titties sitting in the shirt.
03:23 He not with surgery.
03:24 You know how when you do some crazy shit or you always on bullshit.
03:27 It's like, "Damn you a trip man."
03:29 Yeah I'm a trip.
03:30 You need a passport to fuck with me.
03:32 You finna go on a flight overseas out of this motherfucking world.
03:35 You need a rocket ship too.
03:37 Not just a passport.
03:38 You need a lot of shit to fuck with me.
03:51 The first "I'm just a real bad bitch" is describing myself like I'm really bad.
03:54 Like I really look good.
03:56 And the second time is me breaking it down like, "But wait.
03:59 I'm too solid.
04:00 I'm a real bad bitch."
04:01 Because you cannot just be bad.
04:03 You need to be real too.
04:05 Don't walk around thinking that just because you bad you can fuck people over.
04:08 It's like, "Nah I'm a bad bitch and I'm solid."
04:11 That's a plus.
04:11 I love sideways.
04:14 I kind of like sideways a little bit more than O bars because I feel like it has a hook
04:18 and it resonates with people and it has a meaning behind it.
04:22 It's a mood, a feeling.
04:23 I just feel like it's one of them songs that you don't get tired of.
04:26 And I made it short on purpose so you won't even notice it's gone off.
