(repeat for the rap) 
To all my second string bitches, trying to get a baby 
Trying to get a baby, now you talkin' crazy 
i don't give a damn if you used to talk to Jay-Z 
He ain't with you, he with Beyonce, you need to stop actin' lazy 
She instagram herself like 'Bad bitch alert' 
He instagram his watch like 'Mad rich alert' 
He only wanna see that ass in reverse 
Two thousand dollar bag with no cash in your purse 
Now you sittin' courtside, wifey on the other side 
Gotta keep 'em separated, i call that apartheid 
Then she said she impregnated, that's the night your heart died 
Then you gotta go and tell your girl and report that 
Main reason cause your pastor said you can't abort that 
Now your driver say that new Benz you can't afford that 
All that cocaine on the table you can't snort that 
That going to that owing money that the court got 
On and on that alimony, uh, yeah-yeah, she got you homie 
'Til death but do your part, unholy matrimony 

Dm5  D#5  
Dm5  D#5
