Lyrics, Cara Baca & English Translation
Wanna tell me where I can't go?
Honestly, who you trying to control?
Never me, kick you out the back door, no apologies
Save your words
For the birds and the bees
Wanna tell me where I can go?
I'ma leave, miss me with the drama
No, it's not for me
Kick you out the back door, gotta leave
On my line, but my time ain't for free
Why are you acting real nice, yeah
Should I remind ya
Pull up I got receipts
Ooh, you be the type to
Sell me a lie
Just to get you what you need
No pity party, 'cause I'm kinda cruel
Guess I woke up in that kinda mood, yeah
You acting suspect, yeah
It's not clear
Why you choose to come back?
Is it your ego?
Why you're killing my vibe?
Bet you deny
And say I'm losing my mind
Wanna tell me where I can't go?
Honestly, who you trying to control?
Never me, kick you out the back door, no apologies
Save your words
For the birds
And the bees
Wanna tell me where I can go?
I'ma leave, miss me with the drama
No, it's not for me
Kick you out the back door, gotta leave
On my line, but my time ain't for free
What's your M.O.?
What's your M.O.?
What's your M.O.?
Not a ring, not a cheque, not a friend
Tell me, what's your M.O.?
What's your M.O.?
Tell me, what's your M.O.?
Don't need a ring
Need a cheque, need a friend
So, what's your M.O.?
So, what's your ammo?
Tell me, what's your M.O.? Yeah
Motivation, are you tryna go get your leg up?
Trust the feelings in my gut
And it's telling me I gotta hit you with the stop
'Cause it ain't my job to keep you on lock
Even though you want it though
What do you want?
Outta my league
Tell me or not
Choked up, even when I let you go
Why you choose to come back?
Like it's a sequel
'Cause you're killing my vibe
Bet you deny
And say I'm losing my mind
Wanna tell me where I can't go?
Honestly, who you trying to control?
Never me, kick you out the back door, no apologies
Save your words for the birds and the bees
Wanna tell me where I can go?
I'ma leave, miss me with the drama
No, it's not for me
Kick you out the back door, gotta leave
On my line, but my time, ain't for free
What's your M.O.?
What's your M.O.?
What's your M.O.?
Not a ring, not a cheque, not a friend
Tell me, what's your M.O.?
What's your M.O.?
Tell me, what's your M.O.?
Don't need a ring, need a cheque, need a friend
So, what's your M.O.?
M.O.?
What's your M.O.?
Tell me, what's your M.O.?
Don't need a ring
Need a cheque
Need a friend
So, what's your M.O.?
