How can I put this in a way so as not to offend or unnerve
That there's a rumor goin' all round that you ain't been gettin' served
They say that you ain't you know what
In baby who knows how long
It's hard for me to say what's right
Gett off, twenty three positions in a one night stand
Gett off, I'll only call you after if you say I can
Gett off, let a woman be a woman and a man be a man
Gett off, if you want to baby here I am (here I am)
I clocked the jizz from a friend
Of yours named Vanessa Bet (bet)
She said you told her a fantasy
That got her all wet (wet)
Something about a little box with a
Mirror and a tongue inside
What she told me then got me so hot
I knew that we could slide
Gett off, twenty three positions in a one night stand
Gett off, I'll only call you after if you say I can
Gett off, let a woman be a woman and a man be a man
Gett off, if you want to baby here I am (here I am)
Gett off (gett off)
One, two, three, no, little cutie, I ain't drinkin' (gett off)
Scope this, I was just thinkin'
You plus me, what a ride
If you was thinkin' the same
We could continue outside (gett off)
Lay your pretty body against a parkin' meter
Strip your dress down
Like I was strippin' a Peter Paul's Almond Joy
Lemme show you baby I'm a talented boy
Everybody grab a body
Pump it like you want somebody
Gett off (gett off)
So here we, so here we, so here we are, here we are (gett off)
In my paisley crib
Whatcha want to eat? "Ribs"
Ha, toy, I don't serve ribs,
You better be happy that dress is still on
I heard the rip when you sat down
Honey them hips is gone
But that's alright, I clock 'em that way
Remind me of something James used to say
"I like 'em fat"
"I like 'em proud"
"Ya gotta have a mother for me"
Now move your big ass 'round this way
So I can work on that zipper, baby
Tonight your a star
And I'm the big dipper
Na, na, na, na, na, na
(Kick it)
(Gett off)
(Gett off)
How can I put this in a way so as not to offend or unnerve (gett off)
That there's a rumor goin' all round that you ain't been gettin' served (gett off)
They say that you ain't you know what in baby who knows how long
(Gett off) It's hard for me to say what's right when all I want to do is wrong
Gett off, twenty three positions in a one night stand
Gett off, I'll only call you after if you say I can
Gett off, let a woman be a woman and a man be a man
Gett off, if you want to baby here I am
Come on
Gett off
Gett off
Gett off
Gett off
Gett off
Gett off

Gett off
Gett off

Gett off

You better be happy that dress is still on
Expressing attraction to someone's clothing
I heard the rip when you sat down
Noticing a sound from someone's clothing
Honey them hips is gone
Complimenting someone's figure
But that's alright, I clock 'em that way
Acknowledging attraction to a certain body type
Remind me of something James used to say
Referencing a famous musician
"I like 'em fat"
Quoting James' preference for certain body types
"I like 'em proud"
Quoting James' preference for confident partners
"Ya gotta have a mother for me"
Quoting James' desire for maternal qualities in a partner
Now move your big ass 'round this way
Directing someone to move nearby
So I can work on that zipper, baby
Expressing desire to undress someone
Tonight your a star
Complimenting someone's desirability
And I'm the big dipper
Comparing oneself to a prominent star constellation
Kick it
Request to start the music
