Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was justified when I was five
Raising cane, I spit in your eye
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back
Oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Eat meat on a Friday, that's alright
Even like steak on a Saturday night
I can bitch the best at your social do's
I get high in the evening, sniffing pots of glue
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch
Oh, the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
[Chorus]
I can bitch, I can bitch
'Cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move
The things that I do, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 3]
I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I don't like those! My God, what's that?
Oh, it's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back
Oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch
Oh, the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
[Chorus]
I can bitch, I can bitch
'Cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move
The things that I do, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 4]
Oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch
Oh, the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
[Chorus]
I can bitch, I can bitch
'Cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move
The things that I do, oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
