Lyrics

[Verse 1]
First things first, rest in peace Uncle Phil
For real
You the only father that I ever knew
I get my bitch pregnant, I'ma be a better you
Prophecies that I made way back in the Ville
Fulfilled
Listen, even back when we was broke, my team ill
Martin Luther King would have been on Dreamville
Talk to a ****
[PreChorus]
One time for my LA sisters
One time for my LA hoes
Lame **** can't tell the difference
One time for a **** who know
[Chorus]
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
[Verse 2]
No role models and I'm here right now
No role models to speak of
Searching through my memory, my memory
I couldn't find one
Last night I was getting my feet rubbed
By the baddest bitch, not Trina
But I swear to God, this bitch'll make you call your girl up and tell her, "Hey, what's good?
Sorry, I'm never coming home, I'ma stay for good"
Then hang the phone up and proceed to lay the wood
I came fast like 9-1-1 in white neighborhoods
Ain't got no shame 'bout it
She think I'm spoiled and I'm rich
'Cause I can have any bitch
I got defensive and said, "Nah, I was the same without it"
But then I thought back, back to a better me
Before I was a B-list celebrity
'Fore I started calling bitches 'bitches' so heavily
Back when you could get a platinum plaque without no melody, you wasn't sweating me
[PreChorus]
One time for my LA sisters
One time for my LA hoes
Lame **** can't tell the difference
One time for a **** who know
[Chorus]
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
[Verse 3]
I want a real love, dark-skinned Aunt Viv' love
That Jada and that Will love
That leave a toothbrush at your crib love
And you ain't got to wonder whether that's your kid love
****, I don't want no bitch from reality shows
Out of touch with reality hoes, out in Hollywood bringing back five or six hoes
Fuck 'em then we kick 'em to the do', ****, you know how it go
She deserve that, she a bird, this a bird trap
You think if I didn't rap, she would flirt back?
Taking off her skirt, let her wear my shirt
'Fore she leave, I'ma need my shirt back
****, you know how it go
[PreChorus]
One time for my LA sisters
One time for my LA hoes
Lame **** can't tell the difference
One time for a **** who know
[Chorus]
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
[Bridge]
There's an old saying in Tennessee
I know it's in Texas, it's probably in Tennessee
That says fool me once
Shame on, shame on you
Fool me, can't get fooled again
Fool me one time, shame on you
Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you
Fool me three times, fuck the peace sign
Load the chopper, let it rain on you
Fool me one time, shame on you
Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you
Fool me three times, fuck the peace sign
Load the chopper, let it rain on you
[Verse 4]
My only regret was too young for Lisa Bonet
My only regret was too young for Nia Long
Now all I'm left with is hoes from reality shows
Hand her a script, the bitch probably couldn't read along
My only regret was too young for Sade Adu
My only regret, could never take Aaliyah home
Now all I'm left with is hoes up in Graystone
With the stale face 'cause they know it's they song
[PreChorus]
She shallow but the pussy deep (She shallow, she shallow)
She shallow but the pussy deep (She shallow, she shallow)
She shallow but the pussy deep (She shallow, she shallow)
She shallow but the pussy deep (She shallow, she shallow)
[Chorus]
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
