  • Baby, if you like it
    Just reach out and pet it
    This one doesn't bite
    It doesn't get aggressive
    Show you how to touch it
    Hold it like it's precious
    It don't need your lovin'
    It just needs attention

    (Love me)
    It needs, it seeks affection
    (So sweet)
    Hungry, it fiends attention
    (Hungry)
    It needs, it seeks affection
    (Baby)
    Hungry (yeah), it fiends (yeah)

    Look at me, look at me, you lookin'?
    My taste good, but I just had to redirect my cookin'
    I coulda been an opener, I redirect the bookin'
    I read it, all the comments sayin', "D, I'm really shooketh"
    "D, you need to see a therapist, is you lookin'?"
    Yes, the one I got, they really are the best
    Now I feel like I can see you bitches is depressed
    I am not afraid to finally say shit with my chest
    Lost a lil' weight, but I ain't never lost a tushy
    Lookin' good, but now my bald head match my-
    Lookin' good, but now they all sayin' that I'm ugly
    Boo-hoo, my nigga, I ain't sad you won't fuck me
    I'm sad that you really thought your ass was above me
    You're lucky 'cause I just paid your bill with a reply
    I just made your money pile knee high
    I just made your stats peak, now you got a blue check
    Now you can afford to go and reinstall a new wig
    Now you can afford to not be lousy, go and do shit
    Talk your shit about me, I can easily disprove it, it's stupid
    You follow me, but you don't really care about the music

    Baby, if you like it
    Just reach out and pet it
    This one doesn't bite
    It doesn't get aggressive
    Show you how to touch it
    Hold it like it's precious
    It don't need your lovin'
    It just needs attention

    (Love me)
    It needs, it seeks affection
    (So sweet)
    Hungry, it fiends attention
    (Hungry)
    It needs, it seeks affection
    (Baby)
    Hungry, it fiends (yeah)

    Look at me, look at me, I'm naked
    Vulnerability earned me a lot of bacon
    I put a thong all in my ass and taught you how to shake it
    I paid all my respect to those who taught me how to make it
    And now I reap the benefits with no confrontation
    Y'all fall into beef but that's another conversation
    I'm sorry, but we all find it really entertaining
    'Cause we all wanna see them slip and fall right on their faces
    And we all wanna be the one to see the devastation
    Not be in it, but ain't the bad press good?
    The disrespect's real, how this Patek look?
    Pull out the checkbook, now why your neck crooked?
    I never learn to superstar from a textbook
    Talkin' 'bout, "She fallin' off, why she get booked?"
    Man, I been humble, I'm tired of all the deprecation
    Just let me flex, bruh, just let me pop shit
    "Why she think she Nicki M? She think she hot shit," hmm
    I never gave a F, go stir the pot, bitch
    I got y'all head all in the dirt just like a ostrich
    Of course, you bitches comparin' Doja to who the hottest

    Baby, if you like it
    Just reach out and pet it
    This one doesn't bite
    It doesn't get aggressive
    Show you how to touch it
    Hold it like it's precious
    It don't need your lovin'
    It just needs attention

    (Love me)
    It needs, it seeks affection
    (So sweet)
    Hungry, it fiends attention
    (Hungry)
    It needs, it seeks affection
    (Baby)
    Hungry, it fiends
