Megan Thee Stallion would rather be your “B.I.T.C.H.,” according to her latest top 40 Billboard Hot 100 single, which debuted at No. 31 this week (chart dated Feb. 8).
She sampled Bootsy’s Rubber Band‘s “I’d Rather Be With You” and 2Pac‘s “Rather Be Ya N—a” in the track, giving Bootsy Collins, George Clinton and 2Pac songwriting credits on the 2020 hit.
Check out the lyrics below.
Real hot girl sh–, ah
It ain’t always about what you like
Sometimes it’s about what’s right
(Helluva made this beat baby) huh
I’d rather be your B-I-T-C-H (I’d rather keep it real with ya)
‘Cause that’s what you gon’ call me when I’m trippin’ anyway
You know you can’t control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bi—es ain’t gon’ give it to you right
I’d rather be your B-I-T-C-H (I’d rather keep it real with ya)
‘Cause that’s what you gon’ call me when I’m trippin’ anyway
You know you can’t control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bi—es ain’t gon’ give it to you right (ay)
Why you wanna play with me? You know I’m undefeated
A real hot girl know how to keep a n—a heated
You say you want respect? Well treat me how you wanna be treated
You told me to keep it real but you don’t practice what you preachin’
You want me to blow your phone up and come looking for you ’til I find ya
You really want me to whoop the h– that you f—in’ with if I find her
Bi— you ain’t that busy, I don’t give a f— what you ain’t got time for
You look me in my eyes and know you lyin’, man that’s fraud, bruh
Man you knew I was a player ‘fore you met me, need to relax
You know that you gon’ hate me if I get to playin’ get-back
I ain’t turn into no bad bi— when you met me, boy I been that
You tryna make me something that I ain’t, and I ain’t with that
I’d rather be your B-I-T-C-H (I’d rather keep it real with ya)
‘Cause that’s what you gon’ call me when I’m trippin’ anyway
You know you can’t control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bi—es ain’t gon’ give it to you right
I’d rather be your B-I-T-C-H (I’d rather keep it real with ya)
‘Cause that’s what you gon’ call me when I’m trippin’ anyway
You know you can’t control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bi—es ain’t gon’ give it to you right (ay, ay, huh)
I got my mind on gettin’ paid, we ain’t spoke in some days
He prolly thinkin’ I’m in pain, but I’m really on game
Ain’t no n—a finna stop me, independent, I got me
All the sh– that I be needin’ can’t depend on a prolly
And that’s f—ed up ’cause you know that I don’t f— with nobody
I be quiet, but you out here tellin’ stories one-sided
I ain’t perfect, and I try to fix the sh– that ain’t working
But it’s 2020, I ain’t finna argue ’bout twerking
Since you wanna test the waters, might as well jump in with both feet
If you leave me, and you see me, better act like you don’t know me
If you thinking sh– get better with another bi—, go get her
When you realize she ain’t got you like I got you, I can’t help you
I’d rather be your B-I-T-C-H (I’d rather keep it real with ya)
‘Cause that’s what you gon’ call me when I’m trippin’ anyway
You know you can’t control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bi—es ain’t gon’ give it to you right
I’d rather be your B-I-T-C-H (I’d rather keep it real with ya)
‘Cause that’s what you gon’ call me when I’m trippin’ anyway
You know you can’t control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bi—es ain’t gon’ give it to you right (yuh)
I’d rather be your B-I-T-C-H (I’d rather keep it real with ya)
‘Cause that’s what you gon’ call me when I’m trippin’ anyway
You know you can’t control me baby
You need a real one in your life
Them bi—es ain’t gon’ give it to you right
I’d rather be your B-I-T-C-H (I’d rather keep it real with ya)
Ohh, ohh
(I’d rather keep it real with ya)
Ohh, ohh
