Princess Nokia - Flava

you don't know what it is to be me
and i don't know what it is to be you
that is because
we are made different from each other
but all girls are meant to shine
all girls are meant to be something special in this world
even when they're taught
they're not supposed to be
who taught you how to hate yourself?
how did it get this far?
everything about you is magnificent
but you don't even know it
so let me tell you then
[?] edges,
the texture of your hair
when you walk down the street
your strechmarks and [?]
do you know how many people want to be you?
try to look like you?
try to act like you?
spend millions of dollars tryna be who you are?
the color of your skin, your hair and nails
make their lips big like yours
make their skin dark like yours
first they make fun of you
and then they want to be you
you are not like everyone else
you have no pain
but you are different
they may paint a pretty picture of your likeness
but you are just as deserving
in fact you deserve even more
your dreams deserve to be lived
and your beauty deserves to be heard
you are so much more than the girl who looks out the window
they may have things you do not have
in lies they seem easy
but you will earn that
because at the end of the day
you have something money could never buy


[Verse 1]
I ain't even done with the flava
When you see me, I'm swimming in paper
I get high, I get low like an anchor
Havin’ lunch with my financial bankers
Versace, I chill with Medusa
I’m in Switzerland, eatin’ the goose-ah
I’m in Paris, I'm eatin’ some duck
You say [?] right after you fuck
You embarrassed you missed out on luck
[?] pull up to the truck
I cook with the flava
I’m good with the pot
Look at me, see me, I drop like it’s hot
I go take my shot, I pull 'em to the top
Shootin’ I'm shootin’ I'm shootin’ a lot

[Chorus]
Flava though, flava though, flava though, flava though
Flava though, flava though, flava
I’m gettin’, I’m gettin’, I’m gettin’, I’m gettin’
I’m gettin’, I’m gettin’, this paper
The henney, the henney, the henney, the henney
The henney, the henney, no chaser
I'm gettin’ the flava the flava the flava
The color of Now and Laters

[Verse 2]
My swag is the flava, my dab is the flava
Good with the season, two-seventeen
Just with my flava, my flava and me
Rainbow my money, I do like the green
I do not look at the tag
If I see it, I like it, I grab
I’ll be good with the wrist and the hands
I stay low, I stay out of the mix
Play a show, get my check, and I dip
Little rocker girl ringing a Lyft
With my bitches they gothic as fuck
All my bitches they covered in blood
All my bitches they show me they love
I’m a daddy, I'm built like a boss
I been swagging, I drip with the sauce
I’m [?]
See a goofy, I tell ‘em get lost

[Chorus]
The flava, the flava, the flava, the flava
The flava, the flava, the flava
I’m gettin’, I’m gettin’, I’m gettin’, I’m gettin’
I’m gettin’, I’m gettin’ this paper
The henney, the henney, the henney, the henney
The henney, the henney, and no chaser
I'm gettin’ the flava the flava the flava
The color of Now and Laters
Flavas on flavas on flavas on flavas on flavas on flavas on flavas
I’m gettin’, I’m gettin’, I’m gettin’, I’m gettin’
I’m gettin’, I’m gettin’ this paper
The henney, the henney, the henney, the henney
The henney, the head, and no chaser
I'm gettin’ the flava the flava the flava
The color of Now and Laters
