Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Illygirl, Illygirl, Illygirl, Illygirl
Daddy can be rough
That's why I can be tough
Thick skin
Even when it comes to little bit of love
Around doing stuff
Police put me in cuffs
Eat a dick, damn right
I am a diamond in the rough
Illygirl, Illygirl, Illygirl, Illygirl
Shirts, tops, tees
I'm always in tight jeans
I know Billie Jean
I know Bruce Springsteen
I also know Palestine
And mujahideen
Playing Tekken on the weekend
Eating Mangosteen
Illygirl, Illygirl, Illygirl, Illygirl
Beat beat machine
Trying to stream with my team
I'm forming a bomb
Have you heard my dream?
Even Martin Luther schemed
So I put it down
Then I try to explain what it means
