[Verse 1]
I'm only nice to the kind
that know how to move right
You smile, I smile back
you come rude, I go cold at night
Don't test my patience
I'm calm till I'm not
You hand me that crap
I still keep my spot
I forgive fast
but I don't forget names
You throw shade my way
I throw it back in flames
You think I'm soft
'cause I let it slide?
Baby, I don't break
I just watch you try
[Pre-Chorus]
If you come sweet, I come sweet
If you come mean, watch me
I don't do fake love
I don't do apologies
[Chorus]
Nice to me, nice to me
That's the way it goes
Mean to me, mean to me
Then you reap what you sow
Nice to me, nice to me
I keep my cool, my pace
Mean to me, mean to me
I still laugh in your face (laugh in your face)
[Verse 2]
You can throw that poison
I'll still walk through
Head high, clean shoes
like I got nothing to prove
I don't chase chaos
I don't beg for peace
I just match your energy
then I leave you with the receipt
Say I'm too petty
say I'm too sharp
But I know my line
and I know my part
So keep it respectful
or keep it from me
'Cause I give back exactly
what you hand to me
[Pre-Chorus]
If you come sweet, I come sweet
If you come mean, watch me
I don't do fake love
I don't do apologies
[Chorus]
Nice to me, nice to me
That's the way it goes
Mean to me, mean to me
Then you reap what you sow
Nice to me, nice to me
I keep my cool, my pace
Mean to me, mean to me
I still laugh in your face (laugh in your face)
[Bridge]
I got no need for a war
I got no need for a scene
But if you bring me dirt
don't act surprised when I stay mean
I forgive, then I move
that's my kind of grace
You can call it petty
I call it knowing my place
[Chorus]
Nice to me, nice to me
That's the way it goes
Mean to me, mean to me
Then you reap what you sow
Nice to me, nice to me
I keep my cool, my pace
Mean to me, mean to me
I still laugh in your face (laugh in your face)
