8Ball & MJG Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Super cute face and the booty so fat
I'm in the club dropping twenty-four stacks
'Cause I'm in love and that's a well known fact
Guess, he knows what he's doing
If a nigga chillin' with a stripper then he never go back home
She got eyes butter pecan brown can't leave it alone
Liking the way she break it down to the flo'
It's about to go down right now
I'm in love with a stripper
You wanna know where Twista be on fifty
T-Pain invited me to Magic City
I'm about to have some fun 2001, in these pocket all my e-fizzles with me
I like the way mama get up on the table
I like the way she pour the honey in her naval
I like it when she smack her fatty and open it up in front of me
I wanna touch it but I ain't able
The one leg she can shake at the top of the pole
Look at the laffy taffy when she pop, she roll
I wanna get her in the bed right after they close
When I do a video you get the popular role
In the V.I.P. They get a lil' lap dance
Come and grind on the willy of a black man
In my ear tellin' me the shit a nigga like to hear
While I nibble on ya nipple like Pac-Man
She freakin' she lickin' she rubbin'
Then she pulled my dick out and start suckin'
All because I be the Twista
Even though T-Pain told me shorty was a freak
I asked her can I take her home (Down right now)
I'm in love with a stripper
She really think I'm playing, I'm playing
She take me for a joke when I say it
I'm in love with a stripper
Gotta get her, gotta get with her
I can't stay out this club
I'm in love with a stripper
She really think I'm playing, I'm playing
She take me for a joke when I say it
I'm in love with a stripper
Gotta get her, gotta get with her
I can't stay out this club
Uh, young Pimp C
I'm a P-I-M-P, trickin' ain't in my pedigree
It really ain't 'bout no square love it's strictly 'cause she playin' me
She be wantin' lay me but I can't do too much of that
'Cause even though yo ass fat, freakin' off ain't where it's at
But I can show you how to get out there and get it
You love yo daddy I know ya with it
Guess why I got love for you
'Cause you get out there and do what it do
Workin' my piece and work the pole
Break the trick you gotta pay to roll
Get the money break 'em off
And we in the Benz and we scratchin' off
It was love at first sight when I seen that ass shakin'
And 'bout fifty dollars later it was love in our makin'
Ya simply won my heart when I saw the way ya work that pole
And when you bent over ya had my wallet in a choke hold
I saw you in your birthday suit and and baby it was fate
When you give me a lap dance its like we gone on a date
But I feel like ya cheatin' on me when I see ya dancin' with other guys
I'm runnin' low on ones, I cant lie I'm in love baby
I'm in love with a stripper
She really think I'm playing, I'm playing
She take me for a joke when I say it
I'm in love with a stripper
Gotta get her, gotta get with her
I can't stay out this club
I'm in love with a stripper
She really think I'm playing, I'm playing
She take me for a joke when I say it
I'm in love with a stripper
Gotta get her, gotta get with her
I can't stay out this club (I'm in love with a stripper)
I must be the first man to ever fall in love with an ass
Gonna bend down on my knees, and ask that ass to marry me
That booty makes forget about any chick I been wit in the past
'Cause we got a lot in common she's a stripper I'm a freak
Makes me wanna grab it, I have a habit, I gotta have it
You can call me the man of steel 'cause that ass is like a magnet
Damn you got me so in love, can't stay away from this club
Every time I find my self rollin' up on them dubs
I've been around the world, see booty all the time
I've never seen a booty, so so preety, so so fine
Comin' down the pole, no secret why I'm here
'Cause girl you keep my donk on swole, with a drop drop with it
Pop pop and when it hop hop baby the way you
Doing that thang with it don't you stop stop
I wanna stick it, wanna kiss it if I could
I'd put my whole damn head in it
'Cause I'm in love with a stripper
She really think I'm playing, I'm playing
She take me for a joke when I say it
I'm in love with a stripper
Gotta get her, gotta get with her
I can't stay out this club
I'm in love with a stripper
I'm in love with a stripper, I need to get some stripper counselin'
'Cause I'm the first one in the front row
When they make a stripper announcement
I think I'm fallin' in love with the one with the most ass
Thin, lil' bitty waist, I'ma go and buy that bitch a Volkswagen
MJG, Pimp tight, no mo' tippin' stop the bill
If I come in here one mo' night I'm gon' need Dr. Phil
But I'm a G, I'll step back and tell them bitches outright
Ain't no way I can turn a stripper into a housewife
The last girl was pretty but she wasn't fine as you
She was sexy but couldn't do the thangs you do
She could dance but nothin' like the way you move
I used to want her until the day I saw you
I'm a grown ass man I thought I seen it all
Doin' all that on the pole and didn't even fall
And right then, I knew exactly what it was (What's that)
I wanna fuck the baddest bitch in the club
I'm in love with a stripper
She really think I'm playing, I'm playing
She take me for a joke when I say it
I'm in love with a stripper
Gotta get her, gotta get with her
I can't stay out this club
I'm in love with a stripper
She really think I'm playing, I'm playing
She take me for a joke when I say it
I'm in love with a stripper
Gotta get her, gotta get with her
I can't stay out this club
I'm in love with a stripper
She really think I'm playing, I'm playing
She take me for a joke when I say it
I'm in love with a stripper
Gotta get her, gotta get with her
I can't stay out this club
I'm in love with a stripper
She really think I'm playing, I'm playing
She take me for a joke when I say it
I'm in love with a stripper
Gotta get her, gotta get with her
I can't stay out this club
I'm in love with a stripper
