Lyrics

[Chorus]
Man, I can understand how it might be
Kinda hard to love a girl like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know (Woo, woo)
[Verse 1]
Swizz told me let the beat rock (Oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
For all my Southside **** that know me best
I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex
Why? I made that bitch famous (Goddamn)
I made that bitch famous
For all the girls that got dick from Kanye West
If you see 'em in the streets give 'em Kanye's best
Why? They mad they ain't famous (Goddamn)
They mad they still nameless (Talk that talk, man)
Her man in the store tryna try his best
But he just can't seem to get Kanye fresh
But we still hood famous, (Goddamn)
Yeah we still hood famous
[Chorus]
I just wanted you to know
I loved you better than your own kin did
From the very start
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free (Wake up, Mr. West!)
I just wanted you to know (Oh, he's up!)
[Verse 3]
I be Puerto Rican day parade floatin'
That Benz Marina Del Rey coastin'
She in school to be a real estate agent
Last month I helped her with the car payment
Young and we alive, (Woo)
We never gonna die, (Woo)
I just copped a jet to fly over personal debt
Put one up in the sky
The sun is in my eyes, (Woo)
Woke up and felt the vibe, (Woo)
No matter how hard they try, (Woo)
We never gonna die
[Chorus]
I just wanted you to know
[Outro]
Bam bam, 'ey 'ey 'ey
Bam bam, bam bam, bam, bam, dilla
Bam bam, bam, 'ey, 'ey
What a bam bam, bam bam dilla (How you feelin' right now? Let me see your lighters in the air)
Bam bam, 'ey 'ey 'ey 'ey, 'ey
Bam bam, 'ey 'ey (Let me see your middle finger in the air)
What a bam bam
Bam, 'ey, 'ey, 'ey, bam, bam, bam, bam bam dilla (Let me see you act up in this motherfucker)
Bam bam, 'ey 'ey
What a bam bam, bam bam dilla (How you feelin', how you feelin, how you feelin' in this mother, goddamn)
Bam bam, 'ey 'ey 'ey 'ey, 'ey
Bam bam, 'ey 'ey, 'ey, bam, bam, bam (One thing you can't do is stop us now)
Bam, bam, 'ey 'ey 'ey
Bam, bam, bam bam dilla (You can't stop the thing now)
Bam, bam, bam, 'ey 'ey 'ey
What a bam, bam, bam bam dilla (Man it's way too late, it's way too late, it's way too late you can't fuck with us)
Bam, bam, 'ey 'ey 'ey 'ey, 'ey (Woo)
Bam, bam, 'ey 'ey 'ey (Woo)
What a bam bam, 'ey, 'ey, 'ey (To the left, to the right)
Bam bam, bam bam dilla
Bam, bam, 'ey 'ey, 'ey, what a bam bam, bam bam dilla (I wanna see everybody hands in the air like this)
Bam bam, 'ey 'ey 'ey 'ey 'ey
Bam bam, 'ey 'ey
What a bam, bam
[Outro]
I just wanted you to know
I loved you better than your own kin did
From the very start
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know
