(Daddy said: You got one chance in life)
(Daddy said: You got one chance in life)
Let me start it by telling you something
I think there's one thing you should know
We ain't playin' no games, this ain't no playground
It's time to drop your sticks and stones
'Cause I've been chasing dreams since I took my first sleep
And I'm gon' be Lil' Bo so contemplate if you're the sheep
And we gon' make a humble pie
So egos cut a slice and take a piece, hey
So, you see, there's no point in underestimating me
Lock up all your thoughts and throw away the key
No, I don't want to hear it cause your
No, it doesn't bother me
Now I'm done with all your negativity
And I'm gonna let it wash all over me
I'll be stronger than your words baby
I'm harder
My smile lights up the world
I'm flyin' higher
So stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up now (don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up-up now
Stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up now (don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up-up now
(Daddy said: You got one chance in life)
(Daddy said: You got one chance in life)
Come a little bit closer let me tell you
About a girl you used to know
She ain't waiting for luck, no wishful thinker
She's gonna do it on her own
So, you see, there's no point in underestimating me
Lock up all your thoughts and throw away the key
No, I don't want to hear it cause your
No, it doesn't bother me
Now I'm done with all your negativity
And I'm gonna let it wash all over me
I'll be stronger than your words baby
I'm harder
My smile lights up the world
I'm flyin' higher
So stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up now (don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up-up now
Stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up now (don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up-up now
L-ladies, let's break it down
Scuba-da, boba-da, boba-da ba
Scuba-da, baduba-ba, baduba-ba ba
Scuba-da, beeb do da bo dap
Scuba-da, baduba-ba, baduba-ba
Baduba-ba, baduba-ba, baduba-ba-ba-bo bada, now click!
I'm just gonna do me
I'mma do this right (right)
You got nothin' on me
You're just wastin' your time (time)
Take a listen to me
'Cause I'm a tell you tonight
Oh, oh, oh
Now I'm done with all your negativity
And I'm gonna let it wash all over me
I'll be stronger than your words baby
I'm harder
My smile lights up the world
I'm flyin' higher
So stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up now (don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up-up now
Stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up now (don't wanna hear it)
Stand down (don't wanna hear it)
Back it up, back it up-up now
