Tangerine
Big Boi Khujo Goodie & T.I. Lyrics

She said her name was Tangerine, damn, the American Dream
The woman introduced herself as Tangerine, a representation of the American Dream

She all about her fucking cream, shake it like a tambourine
Tangerine is focused on making money and dancing provocatively

Shake it like a tambourine, she shake it like a tambourine
Tangerine continues to dance provocatively

She said her name was Billie Jean, said she wanna show me things
Tangerine changed her name to Billie Jean and showed interest in showing the artist new experiences

I pulled out a stack of green, shake it like a tambourine
The artist showed Tangerine a stack of money and she continued to dance

Shake it like a tambourine, shake it like a tambourine
Tangerine continues to dance provocatively

Now let's set it straight, B-I-G don't cut for cake
The singer, Big Boi, doesn't waste time with women who only care about money

I put her on a plate until she's no longer awake
The artist sleeps with women until they fall asleep

They just lay fast asleep when I hit 'em with the snake
The women fall asleep quickly after he has sex with them

Put that venom up in 'em until I leave 'em with the shakes
The artist has sex with women until they shake from orgasm

On display, she's a model but she only model shoes
Tangerine is a model who only models shoes, not as provocative clothing

Not fake like a prosthetic leg or prostitute
The artist implies that Tangerine is not fake like a prosthetic leg or a prostitute

How'd she choose? She just whispers in my ear, "I'm with you"
Tangerine chooses to be with the singer and whispers to let him know

I'm the type of dude that sends your baby momma out for food
The singer is the type of person who would send someone's baby momma to get food

And I also like her throat action with a passion
The singer enjoys receiving oral sex from Tangerine

Love in her mouth for dental satisfaction
The artist enjoys the feeling of love in Tangerine's mouth during oral sex

That means I hit the head like Greg Louganis then I'm splashing
The artist achieves orgasm during oral sex with Tangerine

Ugh, bust one back in the 'Lac stabbing (Hootie hoo!)
The singer ejaculates in the backseat of his car

She knows what's happening, there's no reason to doubt it
Tangerine understands the situatio they are in and doesn't doubt it

If you ask her how I got it she say, "How he had went about it was"
If asked, Tangerine would explain how the artist approached her for sex

And then you wake up from a bad dream
The artist transitions to a new topic and suggests the previous events were like a bad dream

A nightmare, settle down, 'cause she right there
The artist reassures the listener that they are not in a nightmare and Tangerine is nearby

Okay, midnight, fit like four or five chicks
The singer is with multiple women at midnight

In the drop 66 bumpin' Southernplayalistic
The group is driving in a 1966 car while listening to 'Southernplayalistic'

Yeah, we riding through the city like Monday Magic City Nights
The group is traveling through the city late at night, like Magic City on a Monday

Pass dees around, momentarily they feeling like
The singer passes something around (not specified) and the women are affected by it

Getting right, good girls got them getting busy like
The group is using drugs and even normally 'good' women are getting involved in sexual activity

Big dykes, eating so much pussy they forget pipe
Women who are normally into other women are performing oral sex on men

All got boyfriends, tell me they don't hit it right
All of the women have boyfriends and are suggesting that their boyfriends are not satisfying them

They come see me so they can come be freaks
The women come to the singer for the opportunity to act in a sexually deviant way

In the backseat, everything fast like a track meet
The sexual activity in the backseat of the car is fast-paced like a track meet

All I can see are titties, pussy lips, and ass cheeks
The artist is focused on the physical attributes of the women involved in the sexual activity

Actually, no exaggeration, no imagining
The artist clarifies that the situation is real and not imagined or exaggerated

Real talk, my reality is your fantasy
The artist's real sexual experiences may be considered a fantasy for others

Keisha, Kim, Tameka, Shay, Alisha and Gloria
The singer lists the names of the women involved in the sexual activity

Chasing this broad tryna find euphoria
The artist is chasing a woman in hopes of finding a feeling of happiness or well-being

Name notorious, dick game glorious
The singer is known for having a large penis and satisfying women sexually

Find me shorty when your boyfriend boring ya
The singer suggests that women should come to him if they are bored with their boyfriends

Shake it like some Texas Pete dropping on your collard greens
The singer instructs Tangerine to dance like she's shaking hot sauce on collard greens

Make it hotter and she want a dollar do you follow me?
If Tangerine dances provocatively enough, the artist will reward her with money

Smelling like some tangerines, rolling like she on some beans
Tangerine smells like tangerines and appears to be on drugs (referring to 'beans')

Garter belt full of green, booty busting out the seams
Tangerine is wearing a green garter belt and her butt is showing through her clothing

Shake it like a tambourine, about to shake it like a tambourine
The singer encourages Tangerine to continue dancing provocatively

Once upon a rhyme I knew this girl and she was fine
The artist is beginning a new story about a girl he once knew

As everything outdoors, the kinda girl I describe her
The girl was attractive and enjoyed spending time outdoors

Like Michael Jordan when he's froze in a pose of a jumpman
The girl was attractive, like Michael Jordan's iconic 'Jumpman' pose

Top flight security on these hoes, man
The singer is protective of women and won't let anyone disrespect them

She drop it low only for me to pick her up
The girl danced provocatively and the artist would pick her up from a lowered position

When she's liquored up, I'm leaving my fingerprints on her butt
When the girl drinks alcohol, the singer touches her butt

Ten-hut at attention as we stand for this woman
The singer and his friends are standing at attention to show respect for the woman

General Patton, boy, stop, we think she's coming
The singer and his friends are jokingly comparing themselves to the general and they believe the woman is approaching

Loving the way that I'm licking her down, boy, you bluffing
The artist enjoys performing oral sex on the woman and suggests anyone who claims otherwise is lying

Nothing, while a nigga like me be straight up royal flushing
The artist is continuing the card-playing metaphor and references a 'royal flush'

But this ain't about playing no cards, dummy
The singer clarifies that they are not actually playing cards

Her get me open my sugar and she go hard for me
The woman is helpful and affectionate towards the singer

Even take a charge for me if the coppers caught us riding
The woman is willing to take the blame for any illegal activities that take place while they are together

To get a tray of fruit and a pack of 1.5s and
The artist and the woman go on small excursions to get snacks and cigarettes

I'm all the way on them papers, she all the way on my team
The artist is focused on making money and the woman is supportive of his endeavors

We burn it down like California trees in the breeze (FIRE!)
The singer and the woman burn through money and other resources as if they are disposable
