Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I shouldn't have to explain, it's so simple
But I'm doing you a favor
Seems you're lost in your brain, no signal
So I lay it on the table
[Verse 2]
Not this time, and I'm not blind
I know you see the signs, don't wanna read them
It's not fine, it's not ok
All you gotta do right now is listen
[Verse 3]
I mean what I mean when I say so
Not tryna be mean when I say no
So don't play a fool and twist my rules
I mean what I mean when I say so
Not tryna be mean when I say no
So trust me, I mean what I mean
I mean what I mean
So trust me, I mean what I mean
[Verse 4]
Give it up, it's annoying
You wanna see me, gotta make an appointment
I hit em with that, oh no, I got a boyfriend
Yeah, he was acting like he ain't know what no meant
I don't care about the paper you get
How you spend it for my ship and then you still ain't hittin'
Now they see me sitting pretty so they saying I'm so Diddy
Can't just anybody get me, and I will hurt feelings
Yeah, so keep your hands up off me
I get it if I want it, I don't care what you bought me
I touchdown, now he think he in the end zone
I called him little bird, and put him back up in the friend zone
Laced up, all about the pay cut
If I say it then I mean it, ain't nobody made up
Bitty from the waist up, you can look but you can't touch
High heels and high standards, ain't gotta say much
[Verse 5]
I mean what I mean when I say so
Not tryna be mean when I say no
So don't play a fool and twist my rules
I mean what I mean when I say so
Not tryna be mean when I say no
So trust me, I mean what I mean
I mean what I mean
So trust me, I mean what I mean
[Verse 6]
Better keep your hands to yourself
If you don't wanna see me get mental
I'm just here to have a good time
I would open that door if I wanted you to come in
See, that's your final warning shot now, uh
[Verse 7]
Take cover, my girls all hover
When we see a creep, we put 'em to sleep, huh
Macaroni Tony in a ditch
'Cause he grabbed my ass and called me a bitch
Aluna shoulda called a lot sooner
Got walls around the world, coulda sent one of my juniors
But now 47 here
And I brought re-enforcement to make sure we clear
[Verse 8]
I mean what I mean when I say so
Not tryna be mean when I say no
So don't play a fool and twist my rules
I mean what I mean when I say so
Not tryna be mean when I say no
So trust me, I mean what I mean
I mean what I mean
So trust me, so trust me
