To state the obvious, Cardi B often works explicit lyrics into her music. Heck, her latest mega-hit, “WAP,” is built on explicit lyrics. For her new Blackpink collaboration “Bet You Wanna,” though, she kept things pretty tame. However, that doesn’t mean Cardi didn’t want to go in a characteristically dirtier direction.
Late last night, Cardi took to Twitter to say that it wasn’t easy keeping the song clean and reveal the alternate lyric she originally had in mind: “Ok my last tweet of the night …It really hard for me to do a verse with no curse words and PG [crying laughing emoji]..I really wanted to say ‘I bet if you get me WET I’ll still be on fire’ [crying laughing emojis].”

..I really wanted to say “ I bet if you get me WET I’ll still be on fire
