Double Pedigree Songtext
von INGRID

Picture me rolling like Michelle Obama
You wanna be a star, I′m tryna be like my momma

So sufficient, independent and strong
Black and beautiful a la Nina Simone, come on
See what they want you to do
Is believe I'm your competition when you competing with you, true

I′m solely focused on me

Tryna be the best Ingrid that a genius can be
But jeez, it's so hard not to act third ward
In a time when niggas is broads, I'm steady pulling their cards
Like, since when I′m supposed to bow to you?
People only gon′ do the shit that you allow them to
So allow me to command respect, intellect and affection
Passion in your profession, lack of internet presence
Come back from 7-11 with some Fronto and some papers
And do me a favor, don't do me no favors
′Cause favor ain't fair, so I′m putting in work


Always hungry as hell, but never dying of thirst
They say that I am the first that they really relate to
And I'm hella flattered, so I just say thank you

You fucking with a cold double pedigree
Name another bitch ahead of me
Anything you can do, I can do better
And I can do everything
I can do, I can do everything
I can, I can do everything better
I can do everything
I can, I can do everything

Damn, it feels good to be black
It feels good to be black and know how to act
So much decorum intact, Essence should give me a plaque
The tenacity and business savvy here is yet to be matched
I speak like I know what I′m talking about

I think so I know what I'm speaking about
I don't mingle to mingle, I don′t be in the crowd
So when you do see me, understand what Ingrid about


Style and grace, class and taste
The beauty that I′m exuding ain't an ass and face
When you fail to listen, you look past the greats
So I′m hoping you paying attention to the shit I say, K?
I don't fuck with no suckers
I′m anti-gum bumping, leave that shit to you busters, nigga

Believe nothing you hear
And half of what you see, don't be influenced by fear
′Cause these niggas be fearmongering big
These niggas be selling false images to these kids
These niggas don't even own a fucking car or crib
But they always in the streets yelling "get it how you live"
Fuck 'em

You fucking with a cold double pedigree
Name another bitch ahead of me
Anything you can do, I can do better
And I can do everything
I can do, I can do everything
I can, I can do everything better
I can do everything
I can, I can do everything
