[Intro: Ezra Koenig]

Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl

[Verse 1: Danny Brown]

Back, back, way back, I used to front like I was Don Juan

Couldn't settle down, couldn't find a girl to hold on

Used to get my roll on, hit the spots and stroll on

Now I found one with a hand I like to hold on

Every time I'm with her, dudes always wanna stare

I be staring back like, "You don't wanna go there"

Used to didn't care, now I hit you with a chair

If it just so happen, touch a string on her hair

Now me and shorty wop spending more and more time

So since she got my heart then I gotta have her spine

And if any dude try to come for what's mine

A pair of size nines where the sun don't shine

The sugar in my Kool-Aid, boo gets me through days

Swear to God, one day I might watch her throw a bouquet

Said, "Nowhere on this earth, nowhere in this world

I should ever, ever see you stepping to my girl"

[Verse 2: Heems]

That's my old girl, my old girl from college

I always think about her when the leaves turn orange

Yeah, we went to Wesleyan and she scoffed at Vassar

I met her at a wine and cheese, I looked right past her

Apparently, she would notify me right after

I smashed her the first night, the first pipe's the worst pipe

But after, I satisfied thirst like, "Mmm"

The pastor would satisfy the church like

She lived in WestCo and she studied frescoes

And head to toes, she stayed in the best clothes

I represent Queens, she would move out to Brooklyn

Never thought that she would have her precious heart took-en

By a shy, brown guy from Bellerose

That stayed in shell-toes, until Hell froze

Her freckles dance on her porcelain skin

It's like, she's got a special force within

And I been high, but ain't no higher place

Than alongside her by the fireplace

[Verse 3: Despot]

Act like you ain't even seen me standing next to her

I'll tie your kicks together if you ever try and step to her

Must be why you trippin' when I ask you, "Why you stressin' her?"

Passing notes and texting her, I'm 'bout to shoot the messenger

Used to smash, slap 'em on the ass and go away

They ask when I'mma call 'em and I hit 'em with a poker face

Coldest shoulder known to blow a load

Then leave 'em froze and skate

Magnum wrapper in the trash, I told them, "Nothing gold can stay"

Who's she? Guess I turned over a new leaf

Now I'm choosing groups 'A' through 'D' over groupies

Lose sleep, lately only counting on these two sheep

You and me, baby, skippin' town up on these coupe seats

Must've broke the mold when they made you

Probably broke a nail or two flippin' off these lame dudes

Hollerin' in plain view, on some, "What's your name, boo?"

Barely had a dollar and a dream, but it came true

[Chorus: Ezra Koenig]

The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out

What you on about?

I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones

I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house

Such a modest mouse, I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone

Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
