Yeah yeah yeah— Tell dem gyal, tell dem gyal… I hear the talk— But watch meh life move forward! ⸻ Verse 1 (Lead female) So many people don’t like me, Ask if I care! I wake up winning, shine too hard, Every move is progress, check the flare. They counting my steps, watching my climb, But they never helped me get here on time. Popular ‘cause I put in work, Not begging favors, never feelin’ hurt. Accolades, blessings, goals in sight, I living my truth, I living my life. ⸻ Pre-Chorus (Call & response – all females) Tell me something— Who paying my bills? (NOT YOU!) Who minding my business? (NOT YOU!) So why you talking ‘bout me like you do? ⸻ Chorus (Big soca hook – chant style) You does give me money? NO! You does give me Bamsie? NO! I does give you the pahtah? NO! So carry ya mother so and so! I make my money and mind my business, Not for you to tell me stupidness! Hands up if you living stress-free— This gyal unbothered, happy, and blessed, you see! ⸻ Verse 2 (Lead + background harmonies) They whisper lies in the street corner, But I upgrading life, going higher. I don’t beg no man, no woman too, I build my own lane, that’s what I do. Let me make it clear and plain— I not sleeping with nobody man or woman name. My success don’t come from nobody bed, Is discipline, hustle, and focus instead. ⸻ Pre-Chorus 2 (Playful confidence) Talk your talk, that’s all you can do, While I checking goals and pushing through. Greed and envy won’t get you through— But self-love and drive always do. ⸻ Chorus (Repeat – bigger, crowd response) You does give me money? NO! You does give me Bamsie? NO! I does give you the pahtah? NO! So carry ya mother so and so! I make my money and mind my business, Not for you to tell me stupidness! Wave yuh flag if you free and fly— This gyal too busy to ask why! ⸻ Bridge (Patrice-style playful honesty) But if your a sugar daddy come my way… (Laughing ad-libs: “Hear meh nah!” “Is jokes—kinda!”) I looking a sugar daddy, Someone with lots of money. If you can’t step in my shoes, No need for me to get bed with you. ⸻ Breakdown (Chant + drums drop) Hands clean, name clean, conscience clear! I don’t owe nobody round here! Eyes front, goals tall, future bright— Tell jealousy goodnight! ⸻ Final Chorus (Carnival explosion) You does give me money? NO! You does give me Bamsie? NO! I does give you the pahtah? NO! So carry ya mother so and so! I make my money and mind my business, Not for you to tell me stupidness! Greed and envy won’t get you through— But confidence, growth, and truth WILL do! ⸻ Outro (Spoken / chant) So many people don’t like me… Ask if I care! (Sassy laugh) Nah man— I too busy advancing.
