Envy
All they do is envy
Don't they know what's in me?
Don't they know I'm comi'n back swingin' fo that envy?
Why would they offend me?
Why they go against me?
Don't they know I'm comi'n back swingin' fo that ass?
Swingin fo sw-sw-sw-swingin' fo sw-swingin' fo
Sw-sw-sw-swingin fo (x2)
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Why they wanna curse me curse me curse me
Thirsty, thirsty, thirsty
Why they gonna curse me curse me curse me
Now every club promoter wanna bid like auctions
Cause I pack shows sells ticks like boston
Pat your back, hoe, why the fuck they caughin?
Oh, I got 'em sick, bettet get that coffin
I say coffin you can say caskett
There so trash, where's the waste basket?
Where's my hat and wheres my straight jacket?
Yup, they jackin' back to maybackin
Everything I do, bytches wanna do it too
I guess, guess you just skip to my lou
I just came through I flew to St. Louis
Back to kill you, they blow like HQ
Why is it that they make Nicki a target?
Just cause this lil piggy went to the market
Marketing steps, they marketed sex
Ma-mark it with a 'X', we talkin' them checks now
Envy
All they do is envy
Don't they know what's in me?
Don't they know I'm comi'n back swingin fo that envy
Why would they offend me?
Why they go against me?
Dont they know I'm comi'n back swingin fo that ass!
Swingin fo, sw-sw-sw-swingin fo, sw-swingin fo
Sw-sw-sw-swingin fo (x2)
Thirsty, thirsty, thirsty
Why they wanna curse me curse me curse?
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Why they gonna curse me curse me curse me?
Yo, why did you envy? why you go against me?
When I got trendy, why you ain't commend me?
Why when I needed it why you could'n lend me?
Why you was secretive? frontin like you friendly
Why did you fear that? hold my career back
Kick it like Air Max, I don't wanna hear that
But now I see, see, see, see all you run down
Nigga, better have my money by sun down
Cause now when I come thru, I'm stlyin' on 'em
It's like I got hotta then islands on 'em
They say she got colder than igloos, did she?
I'm in a GT, she in a Mitshubishi
Just left Mr. Miogi tell dat bytch jump if that bytch feel froggy
Cause I got one leg up in da middle of the ring
And that bytch better duck when da bell go DING!
