Bong, bong, bong-bong-bong-bong

Verse 1: Cardi B
N****, eat this a** like a plum (Plum)
This p**** tight like a nun (Nun)
Better chew it up like it’s gum (Gum)
Then wipe your mouth when you done, mm (Okay)
I’m hot like Nevada
P**** get popped, piñata

You could print my face on a dollar

Verse 2: Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion
Five, four, three, two, one, lift off (Hey)
Honey, I’m home, shoes gettin’ kicked off (Uh)
Every time I turn around, a b**** pissed off (Ah-ha)
Little dusty-a** h*** need a lint brush (Woo)
You gon’ settle down, you gon’ livе with him (What?)
I don’t even wanna post a pic with him (No)
The bag hе just bought me was a Goyard (Goyard)
That ain’t your n****, he is both ours
P**** tight like a nun (Nun)
Countin’ hundreds up with my thumb (Thumb)
I don’t care where you from (From)
Better beat this s*** like a drum (Okurrr)
Don’t be talkin’ s*** like you know me (Woo)

Girl, that n**** look like a brokey (Real hot-girl s***)
Go and f*** with his homie, he a (Ah)

Verse 3: Megan Thee Stallion
This a** sit like the stallion
All these wannabes my lil’ ponies
These hoes camped out in the comments
Always talkin’ like they know me (Ayy)
Thick b****** in the black truck, packed in
Eat whoever in my way, Ms. Pacman
Hermès, made a real big purchase
Purse so big, had to treat it like a person
Bad b**** (Bad b****)
in real life (In real life)
Show me real love (Yeah, yeah),
give a f*** about them likes (‘Bout them likes)
B**** tryna say I ain’t fine, oh, aight
They know I’m thick like I’m eatin’ beans with the rice
Like lean over ice, got the real meat pies (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I be spillin’ like my a** out these jeans
when they tight (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And the way they watch me, need to be monetized (Ah)
I’ma need a money bag if I sleep overnight
Wait, wait (Hold up), wait, wait (Hold up), wait
Hoes pop pills, but I’m the one they can’t take (Yeah)
Hot-girl s***, I’ma make somethin’ shake (Brrt)
I know these stiff hoes can’t relate (Ah)

Verse 4: Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion
Shoot your shot like a free throw
Just know this p**** ain’t free, though
My BD is a Migo B****, your BD is a zero
My back shots sound like bongos
I ain’t scared to admit I’m a freak h** (Ah)
At least I’m gettin’ my money (Yeah)
Y’all h*** broke, p**** took more turns than a key hole

Interlude: Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion

I’ma throw it back like it’s Thursday
I got cake, I’m lit, it’s my birthday, ah

Verse 5: Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion
Look, I don’t ride it on my knees,
b****, I ride it on my toes (Uh)
Big fat a**, it be eatin’ up the thong
Got a garage full of foreign cars
that I never drove (Yeah)
A b**** couldn’t school me with a student loan
So sexy, I could Met Gala in a robe (Yup)
I could body every look
and I could body every pose (Yes)
Neck full of diamonds, yeah, I’m forever froze
Will Cardi ever fall off? B****, we’ll never know, woo

Si tú quiere’ que te toma, toma
Bought a couple cribs on my own, I’m a owner (Woo)
Beat it up
