I Been On – Beyoncé

I been on, I been on, I been on

Tell me, who gon’ take me off

Take me off, take me off, take me off?

‘Cause I been on, I been on, I been on

Tell me, who gon’ take me off

Take me off, take me off, take me off?

Rollin’ high, leather and wood

Keep it trill, that’s what’s good

Kiss my mama, show that love

Pop them bottles in that club

I heard your boo was talkin’ lip

I told my crew to smack that trick

Smack that trick, smack that trick

Guess what they did, smacked that trick

Gold everything, gold ass chain

Gold ass rings, gold ass fangs

You can see me stunt when you turn on ya screen

You can see me stunt when you turn on ya screen

I’m bigger than life, my name in the lights

I’m the number one chick, I don’t need no hype

The capital B means I’m ’bout that life

The capital B means I’m ’bout that life

I been on, I been on, I been on

Tell me, who gon’ take me off

Take me off, take me off, take me off?

‘Cause I been on

I remember my baby hair with my dookie braids

Frenchy’s, Boudin in the parking lot

Shout out to Willie D

I was in that Willie D video when I was about fourteen, lookin’ crazy

Shout out to Pimp C

You know, we used to sneak and listen to that UGK

Didn’t [?] your girl but your sister was alright, man

Ah-ah in ya homeboy’s Caddy last night, man, hahahahaha

Hold up, Texas trill

H-Town goin’ down, man
