Yeah, love me like I love me, love me
Suddenly it's about me, 'bout me
Now you wanna be around me, 'round me
'Cause I love myself, I'm livin' my best life
Love me like I love me, love me
Suddenly it's about me, 'bout me
Now you wanna be around me, 'round me
'Cause I love myself, I'm livin' my best life
I got the best suites, I got the best sheet
I got the best seats, best shoes on my feet
Pictures of my body cause a stampede, ayy
If you cut me, success I bleed
If you don't know, I'm a queen (queen)
Lovin' myself like a dream (dream)
Me (me), a body
I body everybody in the party
Yeah, love me like I love me, love me
Suddenly it's about me, 'bout me
Now you wanna be around me, 'round me
'Cause I love myself, I'm livin' my best life
Love me, love me, love me, love me
Suddenly it's about me, 'bout me
Now you wanna be around me, 'round me
'Cause I love myself, I'm livin' my best life
(Pop, pop)
(Pop, pop)
Popular, I'm popular
I'm really, really popular
Popular, I'm popular
I'm really, really popular (pop, pop)
Gold and curly, brown and worldly
Packed in a 5'5 body
Give me the mic and I slay somebody
I hope you're all gonna be ready
'Cause I'm proper gonna pop it
Make you go cop it
You can never stop it, people wanna tap it, tap it
When I talk, I rap it
All of them are puppet
One in a billion, I guess you got lucky
Yeah, love me like I love me, love me
Suddenly it's about me, 'bout me
Now you wanna be around me, 'round me
'Cause I love myself, I'm livin' my best life
Love me, love me, love me, love me
Suddenly it's about me, 'bout me
Now you wanna be around me, 'round me
'Cause I love myself, I'm livin' my best life
(Pop, pop)
(Pop, pop)
Yeah, popular, I'm hot
Can't stop myself, oh God
I top the chart
Takin' over the spot
It's hard, it's hard
It's really, really hard
A star, a star
I'm popular, I'm hot
(Pop, pop)
(Pop, pop)
(Pop, pop)
(Pop, pop)
