World town reach
Dark skin on beach

Drivin' in the seat
And my BM goes screech
Rendez-vouz in Greece
They wanna get a piece
Modern Day Tolstoy
I give them War & Peace
Une, deux, trois
Quatre, cinq, six
Why you got to fuck with me
Just to be a bitch?
Yeah first female singer on the black list
If you want the truth I wonder why the point's missed
World town intelligence
I'm here for justice
If you're trying to break me
You better practise

Standing in the way of the trolls
Everything they say about me is false
They be typing, tapping, typing the most
Hiding in the net like a ghost
Hands up, hands down
Wake up, snap out
