Gm                  D#
Beauty queen since 17
             D
At least to me, I was born with it
Gm                     D#
Maybelline is good to me
             D
But I believe I was born with it

  Gm
I work and work and work and
I've been working on myself
       D#                          D
But I can't take cred cause it's from somebody else
         Gm
Watch me work and work and work and
I've been sweating on myself
          D#                              D
All them boys, all them girls, make 'em stop

Chorus:
Gm
How you get that bod?
Is it from God?

My DNA is graded A
You see this face, I was born with it
I ain't ashamed to say one day I might upgrade
I could fuss with it

I work and work and work and
I've been working on myself
But I can't take cred 'cause it's from somebody else
Watch me work and work and work and
I've been sweating on myself
All them boys, all them girls, I make 'em stop

Chorus:
How you get that bod? (Bod)
Is it from God? (Is it? Ah)
Did you work real hard? (Oh)
G-E-N-E-T-I-C-S
How you get that bass? (How you get that?)
Is it all fake? (Is it all fake?)
Made in LA? (Oh)
