Lyrics

Basic Instinct (U Got Me)

You got me (You, y-you, y-you, you got me)

See I was out buying Chanel bags While I was doing that, you turned up your swag, you got me Yup, caught me slippin', but get your hustle on Shorty, I ain't tripping (You got me) I been in the game since '03 You can try, but you still can't do it like me (You got me) I hate it when they talk about me But I love it when they talk about me (You got me)

I got a little too prissy, I didn't expect y'all bitches to try to get me (You got me) But I'ma need that you can go on write your blog I don't need ya' feedback (You got me) See I was on the red carpet when I shoulda been in the studio laying down hot shit (You got me) Madder than a motherfucker, I can lie a bitch madder than motherfucker (You got me) I'm badder than a mother... been up all night like UPS trucker (You got me) Back up on my job, I'm back up in the trap Shorty give me dap

Back in my corsetto, got me taking off these five inch stiletto's (You got me) Back up out my phantom I'm back up in the jeep, back up in these streets (You got me) Hey, hey, I'm all fired up And tell ya informant I'm all wired up (You got me) Please no pictures (You got me) Up off of a my twitter (You got me) I'm back up on my shit And when I see the stage, I'ma black-bag that bitch (It's on) I'ma black-bag that bitch and when I see the stage I'ma black-bag that (It's on) I'ma black-bag that bitch And when I see the stage I'ma black-bag that I'ma black-bag that I'ma black-bag that I'ma black-bag that And ya'll could tell that, I'ma black-bag that

I shoulda listen to myself Before I let you in, I shoulda warned myself, tell me again And again, I should've cautioned myself before I fell in love with you But I just pushed myself, that's what lovers do (Ooh) Picking up the pieces of my heart I'm tired of lovin' you in the dark I wish I could've seen what you had planned for me Fancy clothes and fancy cars Don't that far but turn into misery When you don't go

With your basic instinct With your basic instinct With your basic instinct With your basic instinct Instinct
