Lyrics
I used to be a hoe, but now I ain't no more
I used to engage in promiscuous behavior, but I have changed.
Been swimmin' through the water, now I'm back to shore
I've faced challenges but managed to overcome them.
I look at who I did and I'm like, "Oh, my Lord"
Reflecting on past actions and expressing astonishment or regret.
I used to be a hoe, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Reiteration of past promiscuity.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Repetition for emphasis.
Now I ain't no more, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Emphasizing the transformation from promiscuity.
I used to be a hoe, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Reiteration of past promiscuity.
Now I ain't no more, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Emphasizing the transformation from promiscuity.
Una perra de raza muy dura de matar
Describing a strong and resilient person.
Pero ahora soy mansa y ya no muerdo más
Expressing a change from aggression to docility.
Rompí muchos corazones y a mí no me lo rompieron
Boasting about breaking hearts without experiencing heartbreak.
Pero ya yo no quiero, 'toy tranquila y ya
No longer interested in causing emotional chaos; seeking tranquility.
Andé por el mundo buscando placer, pero ya no queda na', na', na'
Traveled seeking pleasure, but now finds nothing.
No discriminaba ni rico ni pobre, a toditos les daba
Indiscriminate in past relationships, giving to all without distinction.
Keep talking 'cause I ain't gon' hear what you say
Ignoring criticism or gossip.
Time to switch up energy
Time to change one's attitude and perspective.
I used to be a hoe, but now I ain't no more
Reiteration of past promiscuity and transformation.
Been swimming through the water, now I'm back to shore
Overcoming challenges and returning to stability.
I look at who I did and I'm like, "Oh, my Lord"
Reflecting on past actions with surprise or regret.
I used to be a hoe, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Reiteration of past promiscuity.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Repetition for emphasis.
Now I ain't no more, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Emphasizing the transformation from promiscuity.
I used to be a hoe, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Reiteration of past promiscuity.
Now I ain't no more, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (used to be one, but I ain't no more)
Emphasizing the transformation from promiscuity.
