      There's some whores in this house
      There's some whores in this house (hol' up)

      Spit in my mouth, look at my eyes
      This pussy is wet, come take a dive
      Tie me up like I'm surprised
      Let's role-play, I wear a disguise

      I want you to touch that lil' dangly thing that swing in the back of my throat
      My head game is fire, punani Dasani
      It's going in dry, and it's coming out soggy
      I ride on that thing like the cops is behind me (yuh, ah)
      I spit on his mic' and now he tryna sign me, woo
      Your honor, I'm a freak bitch, handcuffs, leashes
      Switch my wig, make him feel like he cheating
      Put him on his knees, give him some' to believe in
      Never lost a fight, but I'm looking for a beating
      In the food chain, I'm the one that eat ya
      If he ate my ass, he's a bottom feeder
      Big D stand for big demeanor
      I could make ya bust before I ever meet ya
      If it don't hang, then he can't bang
      You can't hurt my feelings, but I like pain
      If he fuck me and ask, "Whose is it?"
      When I ride the dick, I'ma spell my name, ah

    Reminds me of a time i was booked to tour Europe with a legendary Blues artist. It was a pick up band and the bass player was maybe the fifth choice as everyone else was busy...He was a rock bassist not versed in the language of blues and jazz. So during the first gig when said blues artist required a walking bass, he just shouted "Walk!" at the bassist across the stage. Bass player looks confused..."I SAID WALK MOTHER****ER!"...So he starts striding purposefully backwards and forwards across the stage...
