Self Defense
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Self defense, self defense
Self defense, nothing but self defense
Dumb love, numb fuck
Come out with your motherfuckin' hands up
Now answer, learn to step
Know I like to put my hands down, eat
Bounce up, now rewind it
Twerk until my booty find it
'Cause this no time to be tryna hide it
Got my fellas mixed blood and we wine about it
My fast trick, your limp dick
You resist, I insist
Admit defeat, it’s my treat
Numb feet, then rock to the beat
Lean meat while the angels weep
Just you and me for the time to be
It’s a black hole with a white flame
And a tan purse till words of war brain
Lip lock, let 'em drop, your hips pop, it can’t stop
Ri-ri-ri-ri-rinse repeat
Make it better then make it sweet
Always tryna get me fucked, ah
Roll it up, back it all up, turning agressive
Just don't be late, just don't hate, just don't hate
Just wrink never, just wrink never, just
Just cut the rough, the rage, the private time is mine
Wind it, it's fine, you're fussy, you down low
Just me in ya, [?] those are mine, then ya
'Cause I lose my sense I'ma
Give it the bounce, bounce
Come up, the bounce, bounce
Don't make it stop, the bounce, bounce
Give it the bounce, bounce
The bounce, bounce
Give it up, give it the bounce, bounce
The bounce, bounce
Give it the bounce, bounce
Never stop, just the bounce, bounce
The bounce, bounce
Give it
Some time to bounce
The bounce, bounce
Give it the, the bounce, bounce
The bounce, bounce
Give it the bounce
