Got up in the club

Posted in the back

Feeling so good

Looking so bad



Rocking this skirt

Rocking this club

Got my middle finger up

I don't really give a f***



Rocking these diamonds

I'm rocking this chain

Make sure you get a picture

I'm rocking my fame



To be what you is

You gotta be what you are

The only thing I'm missing

Is a black guitar



I'm a rockstar

Hey baby

I'm a rockstar

Hey baby



Big city, (Big city)

Bright lights (Bright lights)

Sleep all day (All day)

Long nights (Uh-oh)



Hey baby

Six inch walker

Big sh** talker

I never play the victim

Id rather be a stalker



So baby take me in

Ill disobey the law

Make sure you frisk me good

Check my panties and my bra



Wildn out

A crazy house

With my white jacket on

Wont you come

And sign me out



To be what you is

You gotta be what you are

The only thing I'm missing

Is a black guitar
