Lyrics Baddie (feat. The Regiment Horns) [Full Mix] - Elle E.D.

The road to my soul wasn't paved with gold
It was paved with hot 97 mix tapes and HOV
Curry and roti on mommy's stove
Black ballerinas in Harlem paying that G.W. toll
The only life I know
Me and big sis playin in snow
Where did them good times go
Cause lately when I look on the mirror I don't see me no mo
I see a person drowning in fear
Of how she appears
Surrounded by peers
Who doubt her for years
Worried bout her career
Eyes clouded with tears
Man fuck this mirror

I have to remind myself
To find myself
I have to look behind myself
Let my light shine so bright I blind myself
Come up with a plan that I design myself
Shit how they gon say something bout me I define myself
Yo picture me crying for help
I'm beautiful I'm gifted
I'm one of one I'm minted
I'm the same as you but I'm different
I live my life unscripted
I stay loyal unshifted
I prayed for it I wished it
I slaved for it I did shit
That I had to do to get it
When I can't find peace I think of my niece
When I can't find peace I think of my niece
When I can't find peace I think of my niece
When I can't find peace I think of my niece
I need a release
Cause I can't find peace

A little bit of spice
A lotta sunshine
Grandmama's kiss
Grand Daddy's wine
A whole lotta game
A lotta take your time
Mix it all together
That's how you get a

A little bit of spice
A lotta sunshine
Grandmama's kiss
Grand Daddy's wine
A whole lotta game
A lotta take your time
Mix it all together
That's how you get a Baddie

I can still hear the voice when my Aunt Doris said
She said believe what people show you fo you trust what they said
She said remember you the reason that yo ancestors bled
She said a nigga got nigga til the day that he dead

Ok so many people got so much to say
So many people are so full of hate
So many questions let's set it straight
Since they wanna know how a little girls made
A little girl got on her knees and she prayed
A little girl settled for minimum wage
A little girl made her way outta VA
A little girl got her own place in LA
Soaked up the game
Made her own name
And more than once that little girl made mistakes
More than once that little girl lost her way
To get it all back she studied the greats
Studied the Jay's studied the Ye's
Didn't forget the way that she was raised
So when the day comes and that shit is done
That little girl can look God in the face

A little bit of spice
A lotta sunshine
Grandmama's kiss
Grand Daddy's wine
A whole lotta game
A lotta take your time
Mix it all together

That's how you get a Baddie
That's how you get a Baddie Yeah
That's how you get a Baddie
That's how you get a Baddie Yeah Yeah
That's how you get a Baddie
That's how you get a Baddie Yeah Yeah
That's how you get a Baddie
That's how you get a Baddie Yeah Yeah

I can still hear the voice when my Uncle Fritz said
He said you cut from a different cloth and niggaz gon want your thread
He said when your ancestors prayed your'e the prayer that they said
He said go kill em with that smile Lil Coop but be bout yo bread

Ok now she on her way and the sky is the limit
School of hard knocks she got perfect attendance
A woman with vision and about her business
With God as her witness her grind is relentless
Her Daddy said Daughter you want it go get it
Make sure all your action align with intention
Nothing can teach you bout life more than living
If they close the door on you take off the hinges
If you complain the fuck that got change
Life it ain't never gon grant you three wishes
Don't over think girl but don't you forget it
Some women are bitches but so are some niggaz
Shit they be on should make world book of Guinness
The way they burn bridges and eat where they shitted
She heard every word and she felt every sentence
God got her started and God isn't finished
A little bit of spice
A lotta sunshine
Grandmama's kiss
Grand Daddy's wine
A whole lotta game
A lotta take your time
Mix it all together

That's how you get a Baddie
That's how you get a Baddie Yeah
That's how you get a Baddie
That's how you get a Baddie Yeah Yeah
That's how you get a Baddie
That's how you get a Baddie Yeah Yeah
That's how you get a Baddie
That's how you get a Baddie Yeah Yeah
