You need to stop playing 'round with all them clowns and the wankstas
Good girls gotta get down with the gangstas
Go 'head, girl, put some back and some neck up on it
While I stand up in the background and check up on it

Ooo, boy, you looking like you like what you see
Won't you come over and check up on it? I'm gon' let you work up on it
Ladies, let 'em check up on it; watch it while he check up on it
Dip it, pop it, twerk it, stop it, check on me tonight

If you got it, flaunt it; boy, I know you want it
While I turn around, you watch me check up on it
Ooo, you watchin' me shake it; I see it in ya face
Ya can't take it; it's blazin'; you watch me in amazement
You can look at it, as long as you don't grab it
If you don't go braggin', I'm-a let you have it
You think that I'm teasin', but I ain't got no reason
I'm sure that I can please ya, but first I gotta read you

Ooo, boy, you looking like you like what you see
Won't you come over and check up on it? I'm gon' let you work up on it
Ladies, let 'em check up on it; watch it while he check up on it
Dip it, pop it, twerk it, stop it, check on me tonight

Ooo, boy, you looking like you like what you see
Won't you come over and check up on it? I'm gon' let you work up on it
Ladies, let 'em check up on it; watch it while he check up on it
Dip it, pop it, twerk it, stop it, check on me tonight

I can tell you wanna taste it, but I'm gone make you chase it
You got to be patient; I like my men patient
More patience you'll take might get you in more places
You can't be abrasive; have to know to pace it
If I let you get up on it (you gotta make a promise)
That you gon' put it on me like no one's put it on me
Don't bore me; just show me; all men talk, but don't please
I can be a tease, but I really wanna please you

Ooo, boy, you looking like you like what you see
Won't you come over and check up on it? I'm gon' let you work up on it
Ladies, let 'em check up on it; watch it while he check up on it
Dip it, pop it, twerk it, stop it, check on me tonight

Ooo, boy, you looking like you like what you see
Won't you come over and check up on it? I'm gon' let you work up on it
Ladies, let 'em check up on it; watch it while he check up on it
Dip it, pop it, twerk it, stop it, check on me tonight

I'm checking on you boo, do what you do
And while you dance, I'mma glance at this beautiful view
To keep my hands in my pants, I need to glue 'em with glue
I'm in a trance, all eyes on you and your crew
Me and my mans don't dance, but to feel y'all bump and grind
If won't hurt if you gon' try one time
They all hot, but let me see this one's mine
It's Slim Thuga and DC outta H-Town

Ohh boy, you looking like you like what you see
Won't you come over and check up on it
I'm-a let you work up on it
Ladies let 'em check up on it, watch it while he check up on it
Dip it, pop it, twerk it, stop it, check on me tonight
Ohh boy, you looking like you like what you see

Ladies let 'em check up on it, watch it while he check up on it
Dip it, pop it, twerk it, stop it, check on me tonight
Ohh boy, you looking like you like what you see
Won't you come over and check up on it
I'm-a let you work up on it
Ladies let 'em check up on it, watch it while he check up on it
Dip it, pop it, twerk it, stop it, check on me tonight
Ohh boy, you looking like you like what you see
Won't you come over and check up on it
I'm-a let you work up on it




Ladies let 'em check up on it, watch it while he check up on it
Dip it, pop it, twerk it, stop it, check on me tonight (all mine, all mine)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Beyoncé's "Check on It" feature numerous sexual overtones, primarily discussing the singer's sexual prowess and her desire for male attention. The song features Beyoncé telling her male partner that she wants him to "check up on it" while she is dancing provocatively, promising to deliver on the explicit promises the lyrics contain. The verse features the singer suggesting that if the man behaves and doesn't grab at her, she will let him have his way with her, which suggests a transactional nature to the song.


As always, Beyoncé's delivery is incredible, with the song's lyrics delivered rapidly, almost as if she's teasing the listener with each subsequent line. The song's chorus is incredibly catchy and features the singer repeating the line "won't you come over and check up on it?" numerous times throughout the chorus. The verse that features Slim Thug is no less explicit, with the rapper detailing his interest in the "view" and promising to "bump and grind" with Beyoncé and her crew.
