Like a Basic Bitch by Emilie Azalea Lyrics
Verse 1:
I've never been the type to ask for much
Never been the type to go out looking for love
Come correctly if you gonna step to me
Never underestimate honesty
I been through many guys in my short life
Been cheated on, beaten on, provoked and lied
I've had some push me to the side for a new wife
With a cover girl face, full of grace with some thin thighs
I've had boys thinkin' that they own me
Wantin' more than I could give, you'd think they wanna clone me
Spent months with some, years with few-
Sometimes I think I stayed too long cus I liked the view
Boys be tryin' every trick to get the tip in
But can't make me sing falsetto like The Weeknd
They might have known my body but they don't know me
I've always been the heroine of this story
(no) I dont want your drugs
(yes) I will call your bluff
(no) I'm not tryna fuck
(yes) got my standards up
I stand strong on my own two feet
Guess that's why everybody lyin' on the floor 'round me
Chorus:
This is my own destiny
You do not define me
Left the past in the backseat
Sun rise and we repeat
This life is yours for the taking
And I will spend no time fakin' it
Like a basic bitch
Verse 2:
If I cut you out my life it's cus you handed me the scissors
Could write disses til I die but I'm the person who's bigger
May the bridges that I burn help to light the way
May the hatred in their hearts give them a reason to pray
Used to open up my arms, give second chances freely
Went from two to three, four to thirteen now you're dead to me
See, I'm not really tryna get involved
You people think I'm a problem child that you can solve
Why tone down my personality?
Don't you realize God made us all differently
Can't take the heat now silly boy you better fall back
I heard my ass can be more addicting than crack
Boys be frontin' tryin' to make me throw it back
Wanna complete me but there is nothing that I lack
It might have been lit at times but no it wasn't love
If you tied me down to force it and I felt like throwing up
(no) don't wanna hear your lies
(yes) been apart quite some time
(no) I do not sympathize
(yes) just let me do mine
I stand strong on my own two feet
Guess that's why everybody lyin' on the floor round me
Chorus
Verse 3:
Just who the fuck do you think you is?
Tryna impress the best, say you movin' bricks
Ain't moved out the crib, loaned you money for that whip
Thinkin' just cus we used to talk I somehow owe you shit
All those assumptions you be conductin' are just so extra, hella ludacris
How's your old bitch that I seen you with?Her small ass tits and your step kids
Talkin' quite a big game when you know you ain't really hung for shit
Fuck out of here with all that bull, I'm a matador and that cocky lip gettin' split
You say you miss me now- is it cus your new chick out of town?
I don't fuck with the negativity, all the energy that surrounds
You, when you come around I
Just can't help it why
Do, you wanna act all nice but couldn't play your cards right when you was mine?
Fine, I'll give it to you straight
Your sorry came too late
I've got a million reasons why I will not make the same mistake
Chorus
