  • I've gone around the world and the seven seas
    I'm cashin' six-figure checks in all currencies
    It's like when I be tearin' it up in Paris
    Motherfuckers parler on the MIC
    It's all ooh la la and ah, oui oui
    Sippin' vin blanc in our lingerie
    Choppin' heads off with madame guillotine
    Even the French know better than to fuck with me

    Comment allez-vous Robyn, what it do
    I'm in the UK (why?) got a show to do (uh-huh)
    It's big Snoopy Dogg, check the catalog
    I'm overseas gettin' cheese with this dialogue
    I missed my plane to Spain so I'm stuck in Colonna
    I'm sippin' Saronno with this chick named Ramona
    She wants me to take a flick on her phone-ah
    Then take her to my hotel room and then bone her

    You know when in Rome I sat down with the Romans
    Said "We need a black pope and she better be a woman"
    There'll be no more celibacy
    Even the Vatican knows not to fuck with me

    You should know better
    You should know better
    You should know better than to fuck with me
    If you knew better you would do better
    You should know better
    You should know better
    You should know better than to fuck with me
    If you knew better you would do better

    We big-ballin' in Holland, Amsterdam my man
    I got a table at the coffee shop
    Where we like to spark a lot
    Hangin' in the parking lot blowin' a bleezy
    Easy fo sheezy deezy

    I crashed a party with the Czar
    Threw a Molotov cocktail in the bar
    And you know my style's revolutionary
    Even the Russians know better than to fuck with me

    You try to ban me, you can't stand me
    'Cause I'm an outlaw
    Black president livin' in the White House
    Mister B he wrote a letter to me
    The FBI know better than to fuck with me

    Yo, I was there at Watergate
    You know I rigged my gear got the fuckers on tape
    They put the mic in the hand of the wrong MC
    Even the CIA knows not to fuck with me

    You should know better
    You should know better
    You should know better than to fuck with me
    If you knew better you would do better
    You should know better
    You should know better
    You should know better than to fuck with me

    Tell 'em Snoop, tell 'em like it is

    I been there, in there, out there like that
    Right back to the hood, a hundred Euro stacks
    Shoot motherfuckers just on GP
    LAPD know better than to fuck with me

    I danced with the devil in Kathmandu
    I came hummin' and blastin' with the boogaloo too
    Now I declare most solemnly
    The prince of darkness know better than to fuck with me

    You know not what you know
    Tell 'em what I'm in it for
    Then I run up in it slow
    Really though, silly ho
    Yea spend a minute though
    I blow an ounce and make you bounce
    Just like a sixty-four

    Now you know me I'm a woman of peace
    I don't never take nothin' don't belong to me
    I throw down and say "Whatever's gonna be, gonna be
    The whole industry knows not to fuck with me"

    You should know better
    You should know better
    You should know better than to fuck with me
    If you knew better you would do better
    You should know better
    You should know better
    You should know better than to fuck with me
    If you knew better you would do better
    You should know better
    You should know better
    You should know better than to fuck with me
    If you knew better you would do better Writer/s: Calvin Broadus, Klas Ahlund
