[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
