Lyrics

[Intro]

I've been waitin' for this one

Turn it up

[Chorus]

Slow songs, they for skinny hoes

Can't move all of this here to one of those

I'm a thick bitch, I need tempo

Fuck it up to the tempo

[Verse 1]

Pitty-pat, pitty-pat, pitty-pitty-pat

Look at my ass, it's fitty-fitty fat

Kitty cat, kitty cat, kitty-kitty cat

Purr me a glass, boy, I like my water wet

Throw it back

Catch that

I need a jack

For all of this ass, but it won't go flat

Baby, baby

Come eat some of this cakey

He look like he could gain a little weight

Lick the icing off, put the rest in your face

[Chorus]

Slow songs, they for skinny hoes

Can't move all of this here to one of those

I'm a thick bitch, I need tempo

Fuck it up to the tempo

Fuck it up to the tempo

Fuck it up to the tempo

Slow songs, they for skinny hoes

Fuck it up to the tempo

[Verse 2]

Fuck it up

Fuck it up

Boyfriend watchin', oh, now you wanna knuckle up?

Get on this ride, baby, you gon' have to buckle up

Thick thighs save lives

Call me, little buttercup

All means necessary

My ass is not an accessorary

Yeah, I said it, accessorary

Twerk skills up on legendary

[Chorus]

Slow songs, they for skinny hoes

Can't move all of this here to one of those

I'm a thick bitch, I need tempo

Fuck it up to the tempo

Fuck it up to the tempo

Fuck it up to the tempo

Slow songs, they for skinny hoes

Fuck it up to the tempo (Missy)

[Verse 3]

Let's go (Let's go)

Let's go (Let's go)

All the fly girls head to the dance floor

Kitty cat, kitty cat, purrrr

All the thick girls down on the flrrrr

Ice on my neck like brrrr

I'm big-boned with nice curves

Look at me, I know I look grrrd

Look good, look good, look grrrd

I'ma show y'all chicks how to drrr it

Your ****, he wish he could

Thick girl (Thick girl)

Split (Split)

Get a bag (Get a bag)

Get rich (Get rich)

Hair done (Hair done)

Fixed (Fixed)

If you see a hater, tell 'em quit (Stop)

Get your own dough (Own dough)

Get your bread, own dough (Own dough)

Go 'head, ladies, head to the floor (Ayy)

Fuck up the tempo, thick girls, get low (Woo!)

[Chorus]

Slow songs, they for skinny hoes

Can't move all of this here to one of those

I'm a thick bitch, I need tempo

Fuck it up to the tempo

Fuck it up to the tempo

Fuck it up to the tempo

Slow songs, they for skinny hoes

Fuck it up to the tempo

[Outro]

Girl, run that shit back
