[00:39.870]Since when I'm s'posed to bow to you?
[00:42.350]People only gon' do the **** that you allow them to
[00:45.720]So allow me to command respect, intellect and affection
[00:48.800]Passion in your profession, lack of internet presence

[02:00.590]So when you do see me, understand what Ingrid about
[02:03.930]Style and grace, class and taste
[02:08.090]The beauty that I'm exuding ain't an ass and face
