Anything you can do I can do better

I can do anything better than you

No you can't

Yes I can

Can't

I see it in the magazines you're jackin' my shit

No you can't

I see it on the street stray rockin' my shit

No you can't

Bet I do it better, way better than the chive

No you can't

So what you do is small, I'm a do it real big

The hell, I bet that your image is dead

I showed you how to do it, like you was my kid

I was some big hair, and she went and got a wig

Whether you laid it, bitches cappin' red bricks

I think of poor slits, the real got the more and

Swathy said she got hers

From the warm muslin, she start castin'

I'm g smart and, what I said

That she said it's in the heart man

Anything you can do I can do better

I can do anything better than you

No you can't

So you're in the magazines wearing my shit

Anything, I can do it better

No you can't

Heard you singing songs that sounds like me

Anything, do I can do it better

No you can't

And when I wear my tennis shoes

I wear 'em way better

And when I wear my heels

I wear 'em better

And when I get my hair done

I get it way better

Then I go and get my nails done

Better than you

Shawty got brace

So he swear that he the thug

I got that amy chu

So I look at him and mug

He standin' on the corner

Posted out, with a thug

But I don't do those

I can post through the sun

He got old jeans, I got the newer ones

You got dark blue, than I'm frackin' the bluer ones

She got on the justin, I got on the cuter ones

And she go to public school, I got the tutor on

So you're in the magazines wearing my shit

Anything, I can do it better

No you can't

Heard you singing songs that sounds like me

Anything, I can do it better than you

And when I wear my tennis shoes

I wear 'em way better

And when I wear my heels

I wear 'em better

And when I get my hair done

I get it way better

Then I go and get my nails done

Better than you

I go in the tense hense

And the sunsight case

But I'm all "hey mister, beat you to the famous"

Seen you at the party 'cause I'm pu-pu-pushin'

You think about the wall pass painting 'cause

Girls been through round something looking more

And I bet you to do and do damn rock 'n roll

Facebook, face facts

Girl you know you lie

Bla bla bla bla bla

And she calls back

So you're in the magazines wearing my shit

Anything, I can do it better

Heard you singing songs that sounds like me

Anything, I can do it better than you

And when I wear my tennis shoes

I wear 'em way better

And when I wear my heels

I wear 'em better

And when I get my hair done

I get it way better

Then I go and get my nails done

Better than you

You wanna be the next one

Wanna be the next one

Wanna be the next big thing

Wanna be the next

Wanna wanna be the next

Wanna wanna be the next

Big thing

So you're in the magazines jackin' my shit

I see it on the street stray rockin' my shit

I do it better, way better than the chive

So what you do is small, I'm a do it real big

Wanna be the next

Wanna wanna be the next

Wanna wanna be the next

Big thing

Wanna be the next

Wanna wanna be the next

Wanna wanna be the next

Wanna be the next

Big thing

So you're in the magazines jackin' my shit

I see it on the street stray rockin' my shit

I do it better, way better than the chive

So what you do is small, I'm a do it real big
