VERSE 1
It was back in '07 did a couple of tapes
Did a couple DVD's made a couple mistakes
Didn't know what I was doin' but I put on the cape
Now it's which world tour should I go on the take?
See you told me I would lose but I won
I might cop a million Jimmy Choo's just for fun
Caus' bitches couldn't take what was in me, Australia, Sydney
Might run up in Disney out in LA wit' Lindsay
Got the eye of the tiger, the Lion of Judah
Now its me and my time, it's just me in my prime
Everything I tried to teach 'em they gon' see it in time
Tell them bitches get a stick I'm done leadin' the blind
Got two shows tonight, that's Brooklyn and Dallas
Then a private party at the Buckingham Palace
Which means I gotta fly like a movie no commercial
As Young Money, Cash Money, yeah I'm Universal
CHORUS
I hope they comin' for me because the top is lonely
What th-they gon' say?
What th-they gon' say?
I'm the best bitch doin' it, doin' it
I'm the best bitch doin' it, doin' it
I'm not good, good, good
I'm not good, good, good
I'm the best!
VERSE 2
I remember when I couldn't buy my mother a couch
Now I'm sittin' at the closin' bought my mother a house
You could never understand why I grind like I do
Micaiah and Jelani why I grind like I do
Caus' even when my daddy was on crack I was crack
Now the whole album crack you ain't gotta skip a track
I ain't gotta get a plaque, I ain't gotta get awards
I just walk up out the door all the girl will applaud
All the girls will commend as long as they understand
That I'm fighting for the girls that never thought they could win
Caus' before they could begin, you told them it was the end
But I am here to reverse the curse that they live in
Got two bones to pick I'ma only choose one
You might get addressed on the second album
Which means you can breathe 'till I muthafuckin say so
To all my bad bitches: I could see your halo
CHORUS
I hope they comin' for me because the top is lonely
What th-they gon' say?
What th-they gon' say?
I'm the best bitch doin' it, doin' it
I'm the best bitch doin' it, doin' it
I'm not good, good, good
I'm not good, good, good
I'm the best!
[Hook]
It's ok, It's ok
Long as you know, long as you know
Long as you muthafuckas know I'm the be-be-be-be-be-best
CHORUS OUT
