Cockiness (Love It) Lyrics

[Intro]
Bangladesh

[Chorus]
Suck my cockiness, lick my persuasion
Eat my words and then swallow your pride down, down
Place my wants and needs over your resistance
And then you come around, you come around, you come around

[Verse 1]
I want you to be my sex slave (Anything that I desire)
Be one with my feminine (Set my whole body on fire)
They mad at Rihanna game (Taking over your empire)
She may be the queen of hearts
But I'ma be the queen of your body parts

[Pre-Chorus]
No one can do you the way that I do
Boy, I want (You)

[Chorus]
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it when you eat it, I love it when you eat it
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it when you eat it, I love it when you eat it
Suck my cockiness, lick my persuasion
Eat my words and then swallow your pride down, down
Place my wants and needs over your resistance
And then you come around, you come around, you come around
[Verse 2]
I can be your dominatrix (Just submit to my every order)
Enter my diamond matrix (Devour my golden flower)
Make me your priority (Place nothing above my pleasure)
She may be the queen of hearts
But I'ma be the queen of your body parts

[Pre-Chorus]
No one can do you the way that I do
Boy, I want (You)

[Chorus]
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it when you eat it, I love it when you eat it
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it when you eat it, I love it when you eat it

[Verse 3]
Hold me down, beat it like a bully
Beat my drum, drum, like a drumline boogie (I love it when you)
Dive head first if you wanna
Sing to my body, hold me tight Mr. Lover (I love it when you)
Do it like I, do it like I say
Keep it up, boy, we can do this all day
Be my Harlem and me Saint-Tropez
Never found nobody that will do it this way
[Pre-Chorus]
No one can do you the way that I do
Boy, I want (You)

[Chorus]
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it when you eat it, I love it when you eat it
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it
I love it when you eat it, I love it when you eat it

What did Rihanna say about "Cockiness (Love It)"?
Genius Answer

According to Songfacts, producer Bangladesh explained to MTV News the origin of the song:

“Cockiness,” it’s layers of things I had sampled for a long time, never really messed with it too much. I was in L.A., and I had just pulled it out, chopped it up, made it a beat. My artist Candice Pillay, my other writers, Dem Jointz, they wrote the song. It wasn’t “Cockiness” at first, it was something else. They had the ‘I love it’ part. … [They] came up with that part first, and that wasn’t even on that track: It was just an idea. I was going to make a whole new beat out of it, what they wrote to it that day, it wasn’t really all the way done. A couple days later, they revisited it and came up with the “Cockiness.” I was like, ‘That’s dope. That’s Rihanna all day’. They sent the song back, and I finished producing it. I put the ‘I love it’ on it that they had already had. She loved it, and that’s what it was.
