[Intro: Justin Bieber]
Don't do it to me, don't do it to me, oh no no, oh no no, oh no?
Don't do it to me, oh no no, oh no no, oh no?
Don't do it to me, oh no no, oh no no, oh no?
Don't do it to me, oh no no, oh no no, oh no?
[Verse 1: Justin Bieber]
Focused, I'm focused (yeah, yeah)
She got a body like that, I ain't never seen nothing like that
Like a fantasy in front of me
I think there's something special is going down
That's right I think she foreign, I think she foreign
Got passports, mi amor started slow, got faster
She gon' work some more, work some more (yeah, yeah)
No stopping her now, no stopping her now
[Pre-Chorus: Justin Bieber]
Then she started dancing, sexual romancing
Nasty but she fancy, lipstick on my satin sheets
What's your nationality? I wonder if there's more of you
She's got my attention, she's confident
[Chorus: Justin Bieber]
Oh no no, oh no no, she's confident
Oh no no, oh no no and I'm down with it
Oh no no, oh no no, she's confident
You could tell by the way she walks in the room
[Post-Chorus: Justin Bieber]
She said it's her first time (oh, yeah, yeah)
I think she might have lied
Feels so good damn (oh, yeah, yeah)
And I don't know why
I'm addicted (oh, yeah, yeah)
Something like an addict
Got me twisted (oh, yeah, yeah)
But still I gotta have it
[Verse 2: Justin Bieber]
Explosive, explosive (yeah, yeah)
I could still smell her perfume
It's not hard to notice, that I'm open (yeah, yeah)
Hypnotised by the way she moves
[Pre-Chorus: Justin Bieber]
Then she started dancing, sexual romancing
Nasty but she fancy, Mona Lisa masterpiece
What's your nationality? I wonder if there's more of you
She's got my attention (hold up), she's confident
[Chorus: Justin Bieber]
Oh no no, oh no no, she's confident (yeah, yeah)
Oh no no, oh no no and I'm down with it
Oh no no, oh no no, she's confident
You could tell by the way she walks in the room
[Post-Chorus: Justin Bieber & Chance the Rapper]
She said it's her first time (oh, yeah, yeah)
I think she might have lied
Feels so good damn (oh, yeah, yeah)
And I don't know why (IGH!)
I'm addicted (oh, yeah, yeah)
Something like an addict (Ooh-woo!)
Got me twisted (oh, yeah, yeah)
But still I gotta have it
Chance? The Rapper? IGH!
[Verse 3: Chance the Rapper & Justin Bieber]
Tattoos, piercings and she just learned to twerk (oh?)
She ain't got a heart or a ass, just her brains
Gotta ask cause her ass on a learning curve (oh?)
And she love to hurn the berb, I mean burn the word
That's only legal with a doctor's note (oh?)
Real deep pockets like a doctor's coat (IGH! IGH!)
Stay faded like Diddy's hair, back tryna rock the vote
She the first mate when I rock the boat (IGH!)
She never forget to ride like a bicycle
She like planes, trains, chains with icicles
It goes her, blank, blank, and rock & roll (IGH!)
She say "I know, honey bunny, that's the funny thing" (ooh!)
Thots twerk for the Goodfellas
She money dance with the money team, IGH!
She's confident
[Chorus: Justin Bieber]
Oh no no, oh no no, she's confident (yeah, yeah)
Oh no no, oh no no and I'm down with it (oh yeah)
Oh no no, oh no no, she's confident
You could tell by the way she walks in the room
[Post-Chorus: Justin Bieber]
She said it's her first time (oh, yeah, yeah)
I think she might have lied
Feels so good damn (oh, yeah, yeah)
And I don't know why
I'm addicted (oh, yeah, yeah)
Something like an addict
Got me twisted (oh, yeah, yeah)
But still I gotta have it
[Outro: Justin Bieber & Chance the Rapper]
Still I gotta have it (yeah)
Still I gotta have it (alright)
Still I gotta have it (yeah, alright)
Oh no no, oh no no, oh no no (yeah)
Oh no no, oh no no, oh no no (alright)
Oh no no, oh no no, oh no no (yeah)
Oh no no, no no no
But still I gotta have it

In September 2013, Jeremih revealed he had a collaboration with Justin Bieber.[8] Soundz had played this collaboration during an Instagram livestream in July 2017. This version didn't release because Jeremih wasn’t really popping at the time and Justin Bieber didn’t really know him.
Lyrics[]
[Jeremih]
I say you gotta have it
You know I gotta grab it
Girl, my hands on you now
Has become a habit
Let me take a look at it
Your body like a weapon, automatic
Girl, eyes on you now
Has become a habit
She fresher than recipes
When she walk, rest in peace
I can see [?]
Shotgun, she next to me
She whipped the whip [?]
Specially when she talk sexually
Take a pic, texting me
Emoji face, she smiling back now
I'm done with that act
[Hook: Justin Bieber]
She's confident
Oh no no, oh no no, she's confident
Oh no no, oh no no and I'm down with that
Oh no no, oh no no, she's confident
You could tell by the way she walks in the room
[Bridge: Justin Bieber]
She said it's her first time, I think she might have lied
Feels so good damn and I don't know why
I'm addicted, something like an addict
Got me twisted, but still I gotta have it
[Jeremih & Justin Bieber]
Still gotta, still gotta (still I gotta have it)
Still gotta, still gotta (still I gotta have it)
Still gotta, (still I gotta have it)
Still gotta, still gotta
Oh no no, oh no no, confident
Oh no no, oh no no, oh she down with that
Oh no no, oh no no, right there
[Jeremih]
You're crazy
Turning your confidence to crazy
Oh oh baby
The way you lay down (Down)
They gon' call you [?]
Oh yeah confident [?]
They next, stand in line
Baby they can kiss your confidence
'Cause they're nothing girl, they're hatin' baby
Maybe 'cause it's you're confident
[Hook: Justin Bieber]
She's confident
Oh no no, oh no no, she's confident
Oh no no, oh no no and I'm down with that
Oh no no, oh no no, she's confident
You could tell by the way she walks in the room
During an Instagram livestream in April 2020, Soundz revealed that Cory Gunz was the original feature of Confident.
Lyrics[]
The original song has Justin saying 'twerk' instead of 'work'. Soundz uploaded this on his SoundCloud on the mixtape called Spring Cleaning VOL. 1.
