Mic is on
Joe Crack the Don uh
Yeah, Yeah, y'all
Irv Gotti
What's love?
It should be about us
Be about trust
[Chorus]
What's love? (Got to do, got to do with it babe)
What's love?
It's about us (It's about us)
It's about trust babe (Be about trust)
What's love? (Got to do, got to do with it babe)
What's love?
It should be about us (It should be about us)
It should be about trust babe (Be about trust)
Slow down baby
Let you know from the gate I don't go down lady
I wanna chick with thick hips that licks her lips
She can be the office type or like to strip
Girl you get me aroused how you look in my eye
But you talk too much man your ruinin' my high
Don't wanna lose the feelin'
Cause the roof is chillin'
It's on fire and you lookin' good for the gettin'
I'm rida
Whether in a hoodie or a linen I'm a provider
You should see the jewelery on my women
And I'm livin' it up
The squad stay feelin' the truck
With Chicks that's willin' to triz with us uh
You say you got a man and you're in love
But what's love gotta do with a little menage
After the party just me and you
Could just slide for a few and she could come too
[Chorus]
Mami I know you got issues
You got a man but you need to understand
That you got something with you
Ass is fat, frame is little
Tattoo on your chest with his name in the middle
Uh, I'm not a hater I just crush a lot
And the way you shake your booty I don't want you to stop
You Need to come a little closer (closer)
And let me put you under my arm like a Don is supposed to
Please believe, you leave with me
We'd be freakin' all night like we was on E
You need to trust the god and jump in the car
For a little hard 8 at the Taj Mahal
[Chorus]
Yo I stroll in the club with my hat down
Michael Jack style, high steppin' who the mack now?
Not my fault that they love the kid
Might be the chain or the whip, I don't know what it is
We just party and bullshit
Come on mommy put your body in motion
You gotta nigga open
You came here with the heart to cheat
So you need to sing the song with me
All my ladies come on
When I look in your eyes there's no stopin' me
I want the Don Joey Crack on top of me (Uh-huh)
Don't want your stacks (Yeah)
Just break my back (Uh)
Gonna cut you no slack (Whoo)
'Cause I'm on it like that (Uh, come on)
Come on (Yeah, Yeah, y'all) and put it on me (Yeah, yeah y'all)
On me (I'm put it on ya girl)
[Chorus: x2]
The song "What's Luv" by Ashanti featuring Fat Joe and Ja Rule is a catchy hip-hop and R&B tune that explores the concept of love and trust in a relationship. The song opens with the sounds of the microphone being turned on and Joe Crack the Don, one of the featured artists, introducing himself. The chorus, "What's love?", is repeated throughout the song and is followed by the message that love should be about "us" and "trust".
The first verse is rapped by Fat Joe, who describes his ideal woman as someone with thick hips who can be either an office worker or a stripper. He raps, "Don't wanna lose the feeling/Cause the roof is chilling/It's on fire and you looking good for the getting". In the second verse, Ja Rule addresses a woman who has a man but still has an attraction to him. He compliments her physique and invites her to be with him for a night of "freakin'".
The chorus repeats, and Ashanti enters with a seductive verse that asserts that she wants Fat Joe to be "on top of me". The song ends with a call to action for all the ladies who are feeling the groove to "put it on me".
