Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Try eat your heart out
Minding mine and yours
Mild the manners I’ve learned
Why would you even want to be perturbed
By the comments that you’ve heard
[Pre-Chorus]
All you’ve learn
Torture was
Speak when spoken to
I’ve had enough
[Chorus]
Cállate
Cállame
Talk too much
Bitch shut it up
Cállate
Cállame
Talk too much
Bitch shut it up
Cállate
Cállame
Talk too much
Bitch shut up
Cállate
Cállate
Cállate
Call me
[Verse 2]
Why you on me
Why you wanna say hi
Too elusive
Caught me right outside
Staring at me
Looking right in my eye
Who you know here
Bitch is you alright
Cigarette butts
Smoking need a light
Where your wife at
Damn I guess she tight
Why you look so
Why you look so fly
Cigarette butts
Don’t you wanna feel high
[Chorus]
Cállate
Cállame
Talk too much
Bitch shut it up
Cállate
Cállame
Talk too much
Bitch shut it up
Cállate
Cállame
Talk too much
Bitch shut up
Cállate
Cállate
Cállate
Call me
[Outro]
Ooo ooo
