The Sign

Hi, motherf*cker, did you miss me?
I've been home since 2020
I've been twerkin' and making smoothies, it's called healing
And I feel better since you seen me last
I been training, I can flex that ass
So when I shake it, I can shake it fast
Make that camera flash, camera flash, camera flash

If you're looking for the sign, bitch, I'm it (ooh-ooh)
And I know you see me comin' 'cause I'm thick (ooh-ooh)
I got that, "Oh, hell no, you can't get this at the store"
Whoa, oh, now you know-ow
If you're looking for the sign, bitch, I'm it (ooh-ooh)
And I know you wanna f*ck with me again (ooh-ooh)
I got that, "Oh, hell no, you can't get this at the store"
Whoa

Uh, just a second, let me fix my wig, yeah
Dealin' with him put me through some shit, yeah
But I can't forget I'm still that bitch, yeah
I live inside his head and pay no rent, yeah, it's lit, yeah, uh
Big rich, big sad, I'm cute when I'm mad
Bitch, I fell off but I'm back, you're back
I'm worth my weight, I'm two hours late
But I'm on my way, ho (hey)

If you're looking for the sign, bitch, I'm it (ooh-ooh)
And I know you see me comin' 'cause I'm thick (ooh-ooh)
I got that, "Oh, hell no, you can't get this at the store"
Whoa, oh, now you know-ow
If you're looking for the sign, bitch, I'm it (ooh-ooh)
And I know you wanna f*ck with me again (ooh-ooh)
I got that, "Oh, hell no, you can't get this at the store"
Whoa, oh, now you know-ow

I keep on writing these songs
'Cause he keep on doin' me wrong
And my girls keep singin' along
Like, "Oh, ooh, oh, ooh" (hey, hey, hey)
Don't need that energy, bitch, I'm a Tesla
Hey, hey, I put me on the dresser
Don't need that energy, bitch, I'm a Tesla (ooh)
Hey, hey, I put me on the dresser

If you're looking for the sign, bitch, I'm it (ooh-ooh)
And I know you see me comin' 'cause I'm thick (ooh-ooh)
I got that, "Oh, hell no, you can't get this at the store"
Whoa, oh, now you know-ow
If you're looking for the sign, bitch, I'm it (ooh-ooh)
And I know you wanna f*ck with me again (you wanna f*ck with me)
I got that, "Oh, hell no, you can't get this at the store"
Whoa, oh, now you know-ow

I keep on writing these songs
'Cause he keep on doin' me wrong
And my girls keep singin' along, uh
I guess that I'm not alone

About Damn Time

(Anyway)

It's been a minute, tell me how you're healin'
'Cause I'm about to get into my feelings
How you feelin'? How you feel right now?

Oh, I've been so down and under pressure
I'm way too fine to be this stressed, yeah
Oh, I'm not the girl I was or used to be
Uh, bitch, I might be better

Okay (okay), alright

Turn up the music, let's celebrate (alright)

In a minute I'ma need a sentimental
Man or woman to pump me up
Feeling fussy, walkin' in my Balenci-ussy's
Tryna bring out the fabulous
'Cause I give a f*ck way too much
I'ma need like two shots in my cup
One to get up, one to get down
Mm, that's how I feel right now

Oh, I've been so down and under pressure
I'm way too fine to be this stressed, yeah
Oh, I'm not the girl I was or used to be
Uh, bitch, I might be better

Special

Special
(Ooh)

Woke up this morning to somebody in a video
Talking about something I posted in a video
If it wasn't me then would you even get offended? Or
Is it just because I'm Black and heavy? Y'all don't hear me though
I've been the same since I've been driving slow on Bissonnet
Call up anybody I know and they would tell you that
Fame is pretty new but I've been used to people judging me
That's why I move the way I move and why I'm so in love with me

I'm used to feeling alone, oh
So I thought that I'd let you know

In case nobody told you today
You're special (special)
In case nobody made you believe
You're special (special)
Well, I will always love you the same
You're special
I'm so glad that you're still with us
Broken, but damn, you're still perfect (perfect)
(Special)

Could you imagine a world
Where everybody's the same?
And you can cancel a girl
'Cause she just wanted to change
How could you throw f*ckin' stones
If you ain't been through her pain?
That's why we feel so alone
That's why we feel so ashamed, hmm

I'm used to feeling alone, oh
So I thought that I'd let you know (oh)

In case nobody told you today
You're special (special)
In case nobody made you believe
You're special (special)
Well, I will always love you the same
You're special
I'm so glad that you're still with us
Broken, but damn, you're still perfect (perfect)

I know that I'm not alone, oh
So I thought that I'd let you know (oh)
Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)

In case nobody told you today
You're special (special)
In case nobody made you believe
You're special (yeah)
Well, I will always love you the same
You're special (special)
I'm so glad that you're still with us (I'm so glad)
Broken, but damn, you're still perfect (so glad, so glad, so glad)

Special
You are, you are, you are so special
Mmm-mmm
Hey

Break Up Twice

I talked to my girlfriends yesterday
They reminded me of when you had me crying in my car
And when you came to my barbecue, they all gave you attitude
Well shoot, every reason they mad at you is true

But we promised to make up
Even if it's gon' take us all of our lives
I'm willing to give it another try
We need to do this like love's on the line this time

Boy, you know you better, ooh, you know you better
Boy, you know you better watch out
'Cause, boy, you know me better, you know me so much better
You know that I don't break up twice

And my love so good it hurts
You make it work 'cause you know my worth
And I can have any man I want
But I never had nobody with a love like you
It will be a shame not to see this through
Who gon' put up with your Gemini shit like I do? Hahaha

And we promised to make up
Even if it's gon' take us all of our lives
I'm willing to give it another try
We need to do this like love's on the line
I'm real, loving takes time

Boy, you know you better, ooh, you know you better
Boy, you know you better watch out
'Cause, boy, you know me better, you know me so much better
You know that I don't break up, you know that I don't break up twice

Takes time (woo-ooh)
It takes time (oh)
It takes time (yeah)
(It's a real thing)
Boy, you know you better
It takes time (hey)
It takes time
You know that I don't break up twice

Naked

Welcome to my body, I know it's nice to meet it
Fantasies been written 'bout the beauty and the sweetness
Can I be discreet with you? Will you keep all my secrets?
I just wanna lay it down and open up the deepness

All the conversations says I should feel a way
I don't care what people think or spend or sway
We can run away (yeah)
Let down my guard, undo my robe
I'm standin' here, don't need no clothes

I'm naked
Love how you look at me naked
Come make this body feel sacred
I'm a big girl, can you take it naked?

Beauty is a gift but curses everyone that chase it
I wish we could live without no body expectations
I've seen every part of me and, babe, I can't erase it
If I get on top of you, you promise to embrace it?

Let down my guard (let down my guard)
Undo my robe (undo my robe)
I'm standin' here, don't need no clothes

I'm naked
Love how you look at me naked
Come make this body feel sacred
I'm a big girl, can you take it naked? (Ooh)

Woo-ooh
Ooh

I'm naked
Love how you look at me naked
Come make this body feel sacred
I'm a big girl, don't you waste it naked

Ooh

If You Love Me

(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
Ooh

I've learned to love me as myself
But when I'm with somebody else
I question everything I know
How can you say I'm beautiful?

When the world can't love me to my face
When the mirror lies and starts to break
Hold me close, don't let me run away
Don't be afraid

'Cause if you love me, you love all of me
Or none of me at all

I accept the things that I can't change about you
But can't accept the fact that I can't change myself too (uh)
Wish I could fall in love with me so easily like you did
Being good to me like I am someone else seems so backhanded

When the world can't love me to my face
When the mirror lies and starts to break
Hold me close, don't let me run away
Don't be afraid, oh

If you love me, you love all of me
Or none of me at all, oh (oh)

Everything the light touches
Oh, baby, give me light touches

When the world can't love me to my face
When the mirror lies and starts to break
Hold me close, don't let me run away (don't let me run away)
Don't be afraid (oh, yes)
When the world can't look me in my eyes (look me in my eyes)
When the darkness takes over my mind (takes over my mind)
Hold me close, don't let me run away
Don't you be afraid, no, no, no, no, no
When the rain falls and I'm locked outside (woo)
Will you be there standing by my side? (Standing by my side)
Hold me close, don't let me run away
Don't be afraid, no, no

If you love me, you love all of me
And if you love me, you love all of me
Or none of me at all

(If you love me, ooh)
(If you love me, ooh)
(If you love me, ooh)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)

Coldplay

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
And everything you do

In Tulum, we pretended we're married
And that little tiny house was our home
It was so freeing to know that we made it
To know that I never ever will be alone

All we had was time
And at the front of my mind
I was so close to leavin' the world behind with you
Ooh, ooh

And I just know it
That in this life
My love is you, ooh
(And everything you do)

Going to sleep, holding hands at the sunrise
Waking up, holding hands in the rain
I feel so goofy, I don't really do this
But with you, it's healing how I feel pain

It made me sad, I cried
Singing Coldplay in the night
Dancing to no music just feels right with you
Ooh, ooh

And I just know it (I just know it)
That in this life (ah)
My love is you
(And everything you do)
And I just know it (I just know it)
That in this life (ah)
My love is you, ooh
(And everything you do)

My defense mechanism kicks in
Makes me run, run away from the real
It's easy to cut you down while I close me up
Instead of telling you how I feel (ah-ah-ah)
And we waited so long, but the sex is so good (ah-ah-ah)
Five years in the making, didn't know if we would (ah-ah-ah)
Do you say this shit to other people? (Ah-ah-ah)
I don't think that I could (I don't think that I could, no)
I don't think that I could (I don't think that I could, no)
I don't think that I could (I don't think I could)
I don't think that I could (I don't think I could)
I don't think that I could (ooh, ooh)

And I just know it (I just know it)
That in this life (ah)
My love is you (you, you, you)
(And everything you do) (you, you)
And I just know it (I just know it)
That in this life (ah)
My love is you, ooh
(And everything you do) (you, ooh-hoo)
