Praying for my downfall, many have tried, baby
Catch me when you hear my Lamborghini go vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom
When we pull up, you know it's a shut down
간판 내리고 문 잠가 shut down

Bunch of wannabes that wanna be me
Me three if I was you
Been around the world, pearls on ya, girl
VVS's we invested, uh
Need a lesson, see the necklace, see these dresses
We don't buy it, we request it, uh
A rock star, a pop star, but rowdier
Say bye to the paparazzi
Get my good side, I'll smile for ya
Know it ain't fair to ya, it's scarin' ya like what now?
