(BEGGING FOR) THE BREAKDOWN

Hit the beat and take it to the verse now...

You look at me and think we're the same kind
'Cause you don't know what I got (I'm for?),
and I'm gonna get more than I'm asking for,
But I just don't want to waste my time

You know that I'll be the other girl,
Just like there's nothing in this world.
I know that I'm gonna get me some
I just don't know where to get it from.
