"What they do, lil mama?
They call me Wes Fif, right?
Look to me like old boy playin around
Come fly with a G, baby"
[Chorus:]
Everybody know you wasting your time
It's time you let him know, you wasting your time
Your boyfriend's lame, you wasting your time
He take you for a game, you wasting your time
He don't even take you out, no no no
And he don't even make you smile, no no no
And he don't even beat you out, no no no
Now what the hell is that about?
I really think you wasting your time
What's the beef, babe?
Say it and know what's up with ya
Word on the street, you dealin with a fucked nigga
That ain't what up, issa? Baby, you know better
Go on, let him go and fly with a go-getter
And I got big bread baby, money ain't a thang
You too bad of a bitch to ride for a lane
You feel what I'm sayin, go on, hop in that charger
Bet he don't suck that thang, plus I beat it harder
But for starters, just let me take you out or somethin
Text me when you 'round or let me call you out or somethin
He ain't about nothin, I'm about makin it safe
So come deal with the real and be gone with the fake
Baby, what it take? What I gotta do?
Yeah, I'm talk my five but I'm tryna get a shot at you
I don't know how to lose so I gotta win
So put my number in your phone, you'll see me again
[Chorus]
And if you want me to lil mama, I'll do whatever
I'll come and scoop you in the Coupe and we can go whenever
Wherever you wanna go, I'll take you there
I'm puttin pressure on that nigga, I ain't playin fair
Yeah, tell homeboy tighten up
I got my eyes on them thighs, I done size you up
Tell dawg, we goin out with your homegirls
And me and you gon get lost in our own world
I'm talkin stuff until you're weak and haunt you in your sleep
Playin with me, you might not see lil homie for a week
I'm tryna make this skeet skeet 'bout four times
And have you talkin 'bout you love me in no time
I know that nigga got you stressin, let me alleviate it
Cause I'm a G and I know he don't appreciate it
I'm certified baby and I don't play games
I exposed her the real and now she hate lame
[Chorus x2]
And you wasting your time, girl
You wasting your time, right
