[Chorus: Pusha T]

Doin' my thing, pocket full of green

Hand on my dick, in my thousand-dollar jeans

Your girl a queen, my girl a thing

You know what, though?

I'mma take— I'mma take this one for the team


[Interlude: Kanye West]

Hehe

I'mma take this one for the team

GOOD Music!

Yeah, ugh


[Verse 1: Kanye West]

You know what? I figured out I'm not a nice guy

I shook hands, kissed babies, gave it a nice try

You know what? I hate pictures of other people kids

I hate plastic couches in other people cribs

I hate when other people cribs smell like shit

I hate when I leave and smell like the crib

What's the cause of the poor smell?

She said, "I just cleaned up" – baby, I can't tell

Why every ghetto bitch gotta smell like Love Spell

Or that goddamn cucumber Bath and Body Works?

I can still smell the sweat, the shit hardly works

What about Cool Water? That shit probably worse

This here a classic like the "La-Di-Da-Di" verse

And my man probably hollered at the hottie first

I scored, he took the charge – oooh, that shit gotta hurt

[Chorus: Pusha T & Kanye West]

Doin' my thing (Hah), pocket full of green (Yeah)

Hand on my dick, in my thousand-dollar jeans (Yeah)

Your girl a queen, my girl a thing (Ehh)

You know what, though?

I'mma take— I'mma take this one for the team


[Verse 2: Pusha T]

Nevermind me, 'Ye, have fun

If the cops ask, that's my gun

That's my weed, anything you need

I'mma take, I'mma take, I'mma take this one for the team

One fat ass, one flat ass

Nigga hit the switcheroo on my black ass

Ever seen Joe's Jeans on a jackass?

And my bitch got on tights with Attack ass

I'm a fly nigga, and I carry on

With them bottles of that Rosé and Perignon

Ever seen how a kingpin carries on?

Dookie rope link chain and a herringbone

The real shit, gotta feel this

First class flights, baby, that's a field trip

Double date; don't cooperate? Kill switch

Fuck me and my man – you a real bitch

[Chorus: Pusha T & Kanye West]

Doin' my thing, pocket full of green (Yeah)

Hand on my dick, in my thousand-dollar jeans (Yeah)

Your girl a queen, my girl a thing (Yeah)

You know what, though?

I'mma take— I'mma take this one for the team


[Interlude: Kanye West]

Ladies and gentlemen

It's GOOD Music in the house

And we got... Keri!

[Bridge: Keri Hilson & Kanye West]

Boy, I know you the one that I heard about (Heard about) (Hah)

And I know you workin' with it, through word of mouth (Word of mouth)

Looks like I'mma have to test you in and out (In and out)

It's a dirty job, but sometimes you gotta

[Refrain: Keri Hilson & Kanye West]

Take it for the team (Hah)

Take it for the team

Take it for the team (I like your mentality, baby)

Take it for the team (Hahahahaha)


[Verse 3: Cyhi the Prynce]

(CyHi!) I'm blowin' on stinky that come in a jar

(CyHi!) Playin' with her kitty, made her cum in the car

(CyHi!) She a redbone, but her cousin is dark

(CyHi!) A little out of shape, but she'll fuck in the dark

Until she start complainin' 'bout her feet hurt

I'm trying to fuck, she talkin' 'bout she want to eat first

I'm like, "Why did this bitch have to bring her?"

Tryin' to get her back to the nest so I could sting her

So, I hit Big Sean on the ringer

I said, "I got a chick for you that look like a singer

On a scale of one to ten, she's a fifteen-er"

Man, you shoulda seen a nigga face when he seen her

He said the bitch wasn't pretty enough to finger

On my team, she would be a fifth-stringer

I said, "I got the fine one in the Bimmer

I'm the point guard and I need a wing

Take it for the team"


[Refrain: Keri Hilson]

Take it for the team

Take it for the team

Take it for the team

Take it for the team

[Chorus: Pusha T & Kanye West]

Doin' my thing, pocket full of green

Hand on my dick, in my thousand-dollar jeans

Your girl a queen, my girl a thing

You know what, though?

I'mma take— I'mma take this one for the team

I'mma take this one for the team (G.O.O.D. Fridays)

I'mma take this one for the team


[Verse 4: Kanye West]

It's the nigga they love to hate

But all the bad model bitches, they love to date

You need to check my swag and get up to date

Check— check my swag and get up to date

We in the bathroom now, she get her back blew out

She can't clean, but I bet she got a vacuum mouth

And I bet I'm gon' sweat her Vidal Sassoon out

Her friend bust in – goddamn, who brought the raccoon out?!

For the team, uh


[Break: Kanye West]

Like we always do at this time

Like— like we always do at this time

I go for, I got to

Like we always do at this time

Like we always do at this time

Go for, I got to

Like we always do at this time

Hah, like we always do at this time

Southside, we gon' set this party off right

This time

This time

Yeah, yeah

Mike Dean on the keys

Hey, oh


[Outro: Kanye West]

They love to hate

Bad model bitches, they love to date

They need to check my swag and get up to date

Check-check-check my swag and get up to date

Aye, it's the nigga they love to hate

But all the bad model bitches, they love to date

They need to check my swag and get up to date

Check-check-check my swag and get, uh, aye
