Lyrics[]
'Turn Yo Cap Back'
[Intro: Swae Lee]
Wanna take it slow, but you know I had time out
Yeah
Coffee and herb
Co-coffee and herb
Coffee and herb
[Chorus: Swae Lee]
Tap, tap that herb
And you can turn your cap backwards
Bust a U-ie on the turf
Last seen flying through the burbs
Getting paid like the first
She wanna see the hundreds scatter
What's cool is cool to you
If you can turn your cap backwards
[Verse 1: Nicki Minaj]
Ayo, I been bad, Affleck
When I'm on the track, it get abstract
Got you bitches looking like a flash back
When I bust shots, duck, thots, that's that (Quack, quack)
Itty bitty bitty back, hit the act, hit the act
If he play the cards right, Pitty Pat, kitty cat
If he ain't about the bag, G-E-T rid of that
Why your new bitches wanna be your ex? Riddle me that, uh
It's Chun-Li and Swae Lee for the win-win
Tell that bird that the queen she offendin'
Pretty soon them knees gon' be bendin'
Got a pendant, sweet little indent
Show me where the money at, yo, where the money at?
Hurry up and hit me back, but I get funny back
Now everybody can guess who was playing Freddy's
Still cakin' your Little Debby, already confetti ready, yeah
Copped some A's, now they stoned
When the plug hit his phone
With the cap backwards
Bust a U-ie in them burbs
It's a his and her's
And it's all that matters
Update a n**** status
Now you fucking with the baddest
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Now you fucking with the baddest
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Now you fucking with the baddest
[Chorus: Swae Lee]
Tap that herb
And you can turn your cap backwards (Backwards)
Bust a U-ie on the turf (U-ie)
Last seen flying through the burbs (Hey)
Getting paid like the first (Hey)
She wanna see the hundreds scatter
What's cool is cool to you
If you can turn your cap backwards (Backwards)
[Verse 2: Swae Lee & Nicki Minaj]
Hey, we can link up but you can't be at the hideout
I love a bad bitch with me when I slide out
And baby we ain't sipping Tanqueray
(You told me you wish that I could stay)
And it might be the alcohol talking, but I like the way he sound
Couldn't read his lips, but I know what he 'bout
I'ma sit down when that dick is sticking out
Had to stop fuckin' with him, 'cause he knew my clout
[Chorus: Swae Lee]
Tap, tap that herb (Work)
And you can turn your cap backwards (Backwards)
Bust a U-ie on the turf (U-ie)
Last seen flying through the burbs (Hey)
Getting paid like the first (Hey)
She wanna see the hundreds scatter
What's cool is cool to you
If you can turn your cap backwards (Backwards)
