[Verse 1]

She thought she had him figured out

Cause a girl like her don't go without

Gotta stay 2 steps ahead

See whats running in her head

She only sees the boujie car

His watch and his money but not his heart

Gotta stay 2 steps ahead

Remember what Lauryn said:

[Chorus]

Keep your eyes open for certain type

She's just rolling with you for the hype

But when you're down

She ain't gon' want you, you

Table hanging cos she loves the crew

Loves your lifestyle but she don't love you

Boy look around

And take care of you, you

Na-na-na gotta stay 2 steps ahead

Yeah yeah

[Verse 2]

Girl don't let him mess you round

Cause a boy like that don't settle down

Gotta stay 2 steps ahead

He only wants you in his bed

While I can that you want more

He's just looking for a bootycall

Na-na-na gotta stay 2 steps ahead

Remember what Lauryn said:

[Chorus]

Keep your eyes open for certain type

He's just tryna get between your thighs

But when he's done

He ain't gon want you, you

Speed dialling you at 10 to 2

Loves himself so much he can't love you

Girl look around

And take care of you, you

Na-na-na gotta stay 2 steps ahead

Yeah yeah

[Middle 8]

Someone walked all over me

And now, now i can see

Through my naivety

I got all this clarity

Lesson learned so I ain't never getting played, na

Tricked me once so now my eyes they stay

My eyes stay...

[Chorus]

....Wide open for certain type

Thought I had a friend but she was green inside

Now I'm switched on

And I see right through, through

Eyes open for a certain type

Now I sleep so good every night

Yeah look around

And take care of you, you

Na-na-na gotta stay 2 steps ahead

Yeah yeah

Na-na-na gotta stay 2 steps ahead

Na-na-na
