  • You see right through me
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you? How do you?
    How do you? How do you?
    How do you?

    You let me win, you let me ride
    You let me rock, you let me slide
    And when they lookin', you let me hide
    Defend my honor, protect my pride
    The good advice, I always hated
    But lookin' back, it made me greater
    You always told me forget the haters
    Just get my money, just get my weight up
    Know when I'm lyin', know when I'm cryin'
    It's like you got it down to a science
    Why am I tryin'? Know you ain't buyin'
    I tried to fight it back with defiance
    You make me laugh, you make me hoarse
    From yellin' at you and gettin' at you
    Pickin' up dishes, throwin' 'em at you
    Why are you speakin' when no one asked you?

    You see right through me
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you? How do you?
    How do you? How do you?
    How do you?
    You see right through me
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you? (Do that) How do you? (Do that)
    How do you? (Do that) How do you? (Do that)
    How do you?

    What are we doin'? Could you see through me?
    'Cause you say, "Nicki," and I say, "Who, me?"
    And you say, "No, you," and I say, "Screw you"
    Then you start dressin' and you start leavin'
    And I start cryin' and I start screamin'
    The heavy breathin', but what's the reason?
    Always get the reaction you wanted
    I'm actually frontin', I'm askin' you somethin', yo
    Answer this question, class is in session
    Tired of lettin' passive-aggression
    Control my mind, capture my soul
    Okay, you're right, just let it go
    Okay, you got it, it's in the can
    Before I played it, you knew my hand
    You could turn a free throw to a goal
    Nigga got the peephole to my soul

    You see right through me
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you? How do you?
    How do you? How do you?
    How do you?
    You see right through me
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you? (Do that) How do you? (Do that)
    How do you? (Do that) How do you? (Do that)
    How do you?

    Stop (ooh)
    Stop (ooh)
    Won't you just stop lookin' through me? 'Cause I can't take it
    No, I can't take it
    You see right

    You see right through me
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you do that shit?
    How do you? How do you?
    How do you? How do you?
    How do you?
    You see right through me
    You see right through me, baby
    You see right through me (do that shit)
    You see right through me (how do you do that shit?)
    How do you do that? How do you do that?
    How do you do that? How do you do that?
