So, you think you know me
One look and now your mind's all made up
Best be careful and bite your tongue
'Cause haters have a change of heart when I'm hiring
You can stare away
I would if I was you, baby watch this space
Business at eight but that party 'til late
Got me suited and booted, don't get in my way
I drop it down 'cause I love what I've been given
Step it up to the mark, I'm gonna bring it
Yeah you say what you like
Better listen close baby, I'm not playing
You can try but no, nothing's gonna phase me
I hold my own, shaking what my mama gave me
So you do what you like
Better listen close baby, I'm not playing
I'm not playing, I'm not playing
I'm gonna do me, you do you, I'm not playing (I'm not)
I'm not playing, I'm not playing
I'm gonna do me, you do you, I'm not playing
Stop there while I roll the dice
Watch me hitting six here twice
Run this game, better bite your tongue
'Cause haters have a change of heart when I'm hiring
You can stare away
I would if I was you, baby watch this space
Business at eight but that party 'til late
Got me suited and booted so don't get in my way
I drop it down 'cause I love what I've been given
Step it up to the mark, I'm gonna bring it
Yeah you say what you like
Better listen close baby, I'm not playing
You can try but no, nothing's gonna phase me
I hold my own, shaking what my mama gave me
So you do what you like
Better listen close baby, I'm not playing
I'm not playing, I'm not playing
I'm gonna do me, you do you, I'm not playing (I'm not)
I'm not playing, I'm not playing
I'm gonna do me, you do you, I'm not playing
Business then party, I'm out 'til the morning
But still making money, mmh-mmh-mmh
Business then party, I'm out 'til the morning
But still making money
I drop it down 'cause I love what I've been given
Step it up to the mark, I'm gonna bring it
Yeah you say what you like
Better listen close baby, I'm not playing
You can try but no, nothing's gonna phase me
I hold my own, shaking what my mama gave me
So you do what you like
Better listen close baby, I'm not playing
I'm not playing, I'm not playing
I'm gonna do me, you do you, I'm not playing (I'm not)
I'm not playing, I'm not playing
I'm gonna do me, you do you, I'm not playing
