[Intro]
Turn up that music
I got to fight this
I want to fight the music on this one
I was gonna write you a poem today
But I was like, f** it
I was feelin' myself, you know?
[Hook]
Illest b**h alive, illest b**h alive!
Yeah, that my sista and I'm so proud how she hold it down
Illest b**h alive, realest b**h around
Pray you rich in confidence, now I'm paying you mind
Look, the illest b**h alive, reallest b**h alive
Yeah, one time for the
One time for the illest b**h alive, illest b**h alive
[Verse 1: Wale]
Working out 9 to 5 keeping them babies fly
Know the time, know what it's like
No one notice your plight
No one notice your struggle
No one know what it's like
How you hold in emotion
9 months while holding in life
Man, straight and no f**ing
Women's pain got her stressin
I can't touch her, so for pleasure
I get special attention
Yeah this the illest b**h alive, I love her freaky side
And the deeper that mean she get the sweeter
Rise for her
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Wale]
Baby father bullsh**tin', you two don't even speak
Ain't seen his seed in 14 days, that n***a too weak
Couple shy of a month, I ain't running you up
When it be too loose or you be too late
We ain't tying no knot
And I know it's double standards when you're f**ing with us
But I pray these everlasting groupies don't f** up this love
New Louboutins when she dressin', Louboutin
Please correct me, stretch marks
Make her self conscious, I kiss her where we're s**ing
Yes, it's the illest b**h around, flawless and brown
Smoking loud, blowing down when the law ain't around
When it comes to underwater I get nautical shawtie
Yeah, you leavin' alone but came here with multiple shawtie
[Hook]
[Outro - Read as poetry]
And I promised myself I wouldn't tell you this sh** today
But, tomorrow's uncertainty promotes the urgency in this sh** I'mma say
Perfection doesn't exist if it doesn't consume her and the truth hurts
And this world's mine, but the womb is hers
Ms. Mother Nature I pray that our daughters carry and favor your genes
And when you take off your jeans you get all the me that you need
That you allow me to work it 'til you know what your actual worth means
And for what it's worth, I hope a couple words could help you see...
Illest b**h alive
