Mmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmm
I've been on my best behavior, but now I'ma pop my shit
I can take whatever thrown my way, mama ain't raise no bitch
I'ma product of the H, and I won't let you forget it
Southside raised spitta, so you know I'ma go getter
Niggas tried to count me out, they said that I would never make it
But I'ma be the one to say it, I'm the mothafuckin' greatest
One of the coldest to ever do it and I ain't nowhere near done
Persevered never folded, I'm as trill as they come (Ohhh)
28 years 'round the sun, I done cried 28 tears
Done prayed 28 prayers, done had 28 fears
That's why I go so hard to make my inner child proud
And all I know is you can't keep a woman like me down
Cause I've been that bitch (been that bitch)
Still that bitch (still that bitch)
Oh I've been that bitch (been that bitch)
Since '96 ('96)
Hey, I've been that bitch (been that bitch)
I'm still that bitch (still that bitch)
Oh, been that bitch (been that bitch)
Since '96 ('96)
Often hated, but can't duplicate me cause your girl is one of one (mhmm)
I was born to win, ain't questioning it, I come second to none (mhmm)
I've been ducked off for a minute, but ain't shit changed but my name
I'm back like I never left, I'm still a beast in the game
Shining bright on these hoes, can't help but recognize my glow
Anytime I step through the do', you know I'ma put on a show
All I know to be is great, gotta make sure my family straight
My goal's always been to elevate, so I can't complain bout what's on my plate (Ohhh)
28 years 'round the sun, I done cried 28 tears
Done prayed 28 prayers, done had 28 fears
That's why I go so hard to make my inner child proud
And all I know is you can't keep a woman like me down
Cause I've been that bitch (been that bitch)
Still that bitch (still that bitch)
Oh I've been that bitch (been that bitch)
Since '96 ('96)
Hey, I've been that bitch (been that bitch)
I'm still that bitch (still that bitch)
Oh, been that bitch (been that bitch)
Since '96 ('96)
In '96, I made my entrance
Could identify that I was different
Little Gemini that was gifted
Doing music is what kept me lifted
Yeah it soothed me and it fueled me
Guided me through life, yeah it schooled me
Kept me sane, it was therapeutic
Healed the scars from those who abused me
Was my refuge during times of struggle
As a youngin' had to learn to hustle
Anythang to stay up outta trouble
Burned CDs and sold 'em from my duffle
Had to grind to get to the bag
Look at how far I came from that
Put the pen to pad and the words to wax
Now I see the power that I have (Ohhhhhh)
Cause I been that bitch (been that bitch)
I'm still that bitch (still that bitch)
Ohhh been that bitch (been that bitch)
Since '96 ('96)
Ohhhh (been that bitch)
I said I've been that bitch (still that bitch)
I've been that, I'm still that (been that bitch)
I've been that, I'm still that ('96)
Aye yeaaaaah
Since '96, yeah yeah
Ohhhhhhhhhhh yeah
I've been that and I've been that
And I've been that yeah yeah
Been that bitch
Still that bitch
Since '96
Ahh
