Lyrics
I've been up
I've been down
Felt like I moved mountains
Got friends that cried fountains
Oh, ooh
I'm warning everybody
Soon as I get in this party
I'm gon' let go of this body
I'm gonna love on me
Nobody can judge me
But me
I was born free
I'll drop it like a thotty
Drop it like a thotty
I said, now pop it like a thotty
Pop it like a thotty (You bad)
Me say, now drop it like a thotty
Drop it like a thotty (You bad)
Church girls acting loose
Bad girls acting snotty (You bad)
Let it go, girl (Let it go)
Let it out, girl (Let it out)
Twirl that ass like you came up out the south, girl
I said, now drop it like a thotty
Drop it like a thotty (You bad)
Bad girl acting naughty
Church girl, don't hurt nobody
You could be my daddy if you want to
You, you could be my daddy if you want to
You can get it tatted if you want to
You, you can get it tatted if you want to (She ain't tryin' to hurt nobody)
Put your lighters in the sky get this motherfucka' litty
She gon' shake that ass and them pretty tig ol' bitties
So get your racks up
Get your math up
I'ma back it up
Back it, back it up (Back it, back it up)
I'ma buss it, buss it, buss it, buss it, acting up
I see them grey sweats (Grey sweats)
I see a blank check
I'm finally on the other side
I finally found the urge to smile
Swimming through the oceans of tears we cried (Tears that we've cried)
You know you got church in the morning (The morning)
But you're doing God's work
You're going in
She ain't trying to hurt nobody
She is trying to do the best she can
Happy on her own
With her friends, without a man
I'm warning everybody
Soon as I get in this party
I'm 'gon let go of this body
I'm gonna love on me
Nobody can judge me
But me
I was born free
I'll drop it like a thotty
Drop it like a thotty
I said, now pop it like a thotty
Pop it like a thotty (You bad)
Me say, now drop it like a thotty
Drop it like a thotty (You bad)
Church girls acting loose
Bad girls acting snotty (You bad)
Let it go, girl (Let it go)
Let it out, girl (Let it out)
Twirl that ass like you came up out the south, girl
I said, now drop it like a thotty
Drop it like a thotty (You bad)
Bad girls acting raunchy
Church girl, don't hurt nobody
You could be my daddy if you want to (You bad)
You, you can get it tatted if you want to (You bad)
Put your lighters in the sky get this motherfucka' litty (You bad)
She gon' shake that ass and them pretty tig ol' bitties
So get your racks up
Get your math up
I'ma back it up (Back it up)
Back it, back it up (Back it, back it up)
I'ma buss it, buss it, buss it, buss it, acting up
I see them grey sweats
I see a blank check
Must be the cash
'Cause it ain't your face
It must be the cash
'Cause it ain't your face
Now do it, baby
Stick it, baby
Do it, baby
Stick, it baby
Do it, baby
Spin it
Just spin it, baby, do it
Now spend that cash a little harder
And she might let you dive in the water
Drop it like a thotty
Drop it like a thotty
Now now now drop it like a thotty
Drop it like a thotty
Oh oh oh, drop it like a thotty
Drop it like a thotty
Good girls acting bad
Church girls don't hurt nobody
I ain't trying to hurt nobody
Trying to bring the life up in your body
