[intro] [break] [Drop] Mm. Boy standing there confused again. Thinkin’ with panic instead of potential. Lemme help you out. **[VERSE 1]** Boy you need to smarten up Brain too dry, let me start you up Every time I talk you freeze in place Like your thoughts got stage fright on your face You keep moving like a scared little kid I need pressure, confidence, attitude, grit Need a man who can match my stride Not one asking me to shrink my mind I talk slick, think quick, hips rotate Whole room shift when I calibrate And you still buffering, loading slow Baby catch up or let me go **[PRE-CHORUS]** You want power? Use mine. You want fire? Get in line. **[CHORUS]** Boy you need to smarten up Use my thoughts like lubricant Slide that fear right out your head Get confident, get dangerous Boy you need to harden up Use my thoughts like lubricant I don’t want soft little excuses I want pressure, motion, movement **[VERSE 2 — faster, cockier]** I’m intellectual stimulation High-heeled intimidation Pretty face with a tactical brain I could rebuild your whole damn frame You sweating every little confrontation I turn conflict into decoration Watch me walk into a room real poised Then weaponize my speaking voice See I don’t need a man to lead me Need somebody standing beside me Somebody sharp enough to spar back Not fold up at the first clapback **[BREAKDOWN — spoken]** And stop acting scared of ambitious women. You say you want “a real one” until she starts talking smarter than you. Then suddenly it’s “attitude.” No baby— That’s horsepower. **[FINAL CHORUS — huge energy]** Boy you need to smarten up Use my thoughts like lubricant Let my confidence drip on you Till you move like you meant to exist Boy you need to harden up Use my thoughts like lubricant I’m not here to make you smaller— I’m here to make you dangerous.
