Let's go!
Don't stop baby, don't stop me
Don't stop baby, don't stop me
I like the way that you move
And girl you know how I do
It's in your hip
Use it like lancome lipstick
Scarlett, and frankly I really do care, madam
All you will, this is sa-ra fam, now back to ma'am
I know that you can move like that I saw you dance
And now you you gotta show out, make me a fan
Turn up the fan, we gonna sweat crazy
What's your favorite gatorade, lady
Hadn't been shopping, Perrier water maybe
I hope you ain't hungry got mash but no gravy
But we can make some, the best of both juices
We can use this, this some new shit
Make it hot like Crisco
That's how my flow go, shorty you ain't know?
If you ain't po, stop being so high post
My music ain't just for the siditty and pretty it's for
Everybody
Don't stop baby, don't stop me
Don't stop baby, don't stop me
I like the way that you move
And girl you know how I do
Shorty you killin em hard with them lady pants
Simple elegance looking better when you dance
Chest to the sun with your thoroughbred stance
You gallop to the rhythms of a native drum chant
Your granny must be navajo
Your mama do rodeo, your papa do the saville row
I bite you, ain't no antidotes
The red blouse do arouse, I come at you like a matador
Does attract horny bulls
All the girls are waiting to see which one he pulls
Eenie meenie miney meenie prenuptial
Enforcer in the porsche in case fools wanna duel
You'll cool your fuckin jets, who wanna be next?
Ooh, I'll probably get life if I let
One off, so I let em go like a pro
Sir andre with an accent 3 triple 0
Ben-jamin, lauren is the middle name
That was given by my mama, success was on her brain
Rain? Bentley farns got the umbrellas
Benjamin got the sweaters, hey what more can we sell em?
Sun, spring will bring the parasol
Now watch him parasail to entertain us all
Everybody
Don't stop baby, don't stop me
Don't stop baby, don't stop me
Everybody
Don't stop baby, don't stop me
Don't stop baby, don't stop me
I like the way that you move
Don't stop baby, don't stop me

I love this video.
This is gay club song. I heard the original in a Forever 21 in Houston. It sounded uber gay!!!!
What the hell is making gravy? It's suspect in any song starring Fonzworth!!!
Are these shows funny when we look at the real of society?
https://youtu.be/vRhTWRWaW1o
https://youtu.be/dSpOjj4YD8c
Yep. The other stuff isn't.
The world seems to be hunting and crying about a prostitution problem.
Leonard Cohen has a song about it. I'm Your Man....is this what they want from Male children?
Is this a Winnebago Brave?

The TV is a series of bad outcomes that the AntiChrist appears to desire.
Watch this FOX News Report.

Covid Lockdowns went up and the predators pounced. Take the kids back to school and go with them PLEASE!!!!!
https://youtu.be/WgB-DhoORis
It's census time, birth certificates versus head counts. DNA testing time ALSO. MOMMY TO CHILD, NOT THE DADDY.
These people may have had kids in foster care that the President and First Lady want to touch. There's PEDOPHILES that are harvesting children.
Watch Young Pharaoh Deep State. Make connections.
Come to Jesus. Please repent.
By the way, in the areas around me, they seem to relax the laws for some. This guy was picking up what appears to be prostitutes nearby. I see this vehicle often on my Doordashes.

@@riosnyder6122 I already have plenty of help. Jesus is his name!
I call a gay a gay. I am sorry if this offends you, but I mean to share that your body is your temple and God wants you!
Blessings.
Consider me peculiar and I will continue going home to heaven. I hope that you choose to join us. Jesus is there.
You probably rock a face mask believing that it can protect you from pestilence, so I understand your poor choice of words. Get to Jesus before this gets worse. Hugs and kisses to you, regardless of how rude you may be. Take care and avoid running with scissors.

This is 2023 and I’m JUUUUUUUST seeing this!!
This is such a D O P E video.
They’re killin it!
It’s a pleasure to see Kanye and Bentley jamming…so well choreographed too.
I miss BOMB tunes and MCs too.
🎶🔥
@Italretreat
This song was straight heat. Not many spins. Didn't get promoted much.
First off, People slept on Bentley Skills. His slow flow fit his style and personality. If you're a poet, mc, rapper, whatever title- If you really listen, those lyrics was tight! Problem is, when you come out as one entity, its hard to morph into something else. The public won't let you. you get type cast quick! " LIKE TUPAC" with his brilliant acting skills! Also, Bentley dancing is fluid. He time that spin move at the end just perfect- Right when the chorus was coming in...TALENTED!
Kanye killed with his singing. Perfect match for this song. I knew he would be on point because he know 3 stacks is on the track. His choreography was good too. Although, his timing was a bit off on a couple, but he stepped out his element! BIG UPS TO HIM! This is the Kanye, i like to remember.
Props to those other gents that were dancing too. All them was on point with the dance moves, and using the handkerchief prop. REAL SMOOTH.
3 stacks...3 muther effing stacks. His personality is engaging. He has a lot of good genes in him, but you can tell he works hard on his craft. PERFECTIONIST! No wonder he takes so long to come out with material. His facial expressions had me rolling when Bentley was flowing. His flow, words, and cadences are always on time. THAT'S A GIVEN. But what separates him, and how you just knew he was gonna be tremendous actor-HIS ILLUSTRATIONS OF HIS STORIES; USING HIS BODY MOVEMENTS, BODY LANGUAGE, PROPS, DANCE TIMING,
Its the difference between being called a RAPPER as compared to AN ENTERTAINER!
EVERYBODY DID THEY THANG. BIG UPS...RESPECK!
