I'm Looking for that
Pretty young thing
Up in the spot, looking hot playin' no games
And she steady trying to get it crunk right from the jump
And she playin' no games.
That you Shawty? (yea that's me)
Did you come here to party? (Yes indeed)
When its time to get low
If so baby girl lets go.
(Come and get it boy)
They say I act old, but I got that old man game
Cause I stay trying to find me a pretty young thing
That I call anytime if she ready to hang
And if sun'it jump off she be ready to bang
I like 'em fresh outta high school just about
To graduate short shirts ed'day trying t show they little shape
Low cut jump jeans Lugz on hea feet
Neighborhood girl but she love the streets
In a party she the main one doing that right there
Every time he a jam drop hands up in the air.
And she ain't thinking you, she ain't thinking bout he a here
And if you balling homie she don't even really curr
She got her mind set on what she wanna do
And she ain't come alone she got her whole little crew.
Her P.Y.T's that'll make ya head spin
Ery nigga in the club tryina get in
[Chorus]
They got a whole lot of attitude
Rap is all that they listen to
Stays in the sweet trying to find something new
Custom Ipods with the rhinestones
Nextel camera phones with all the hot ring tones.
Light skin til black little PYT's
Boricua mami's that like to eat Mickey D's
Always into something like NWA gotta little bittie frame but home she don't play
You know a girl is the reason that a nigga wanna stunt
And I'm weak for em homie I ain't even goin' front
See most young nigga's like em older not me
Spot they spot me like in the summer I run up hit them with
That Moss A game like "Baby was ya phone number? Were ya live at?
Shawdy what part of town? 'cause I just
Wanna be down!"
[Chorus]
Pretty young thing repeat after me
Say Nah nanana "Nah nanana"
Nah nanana "Nah nanana"
Say pretty young thigs repeat after me
Nah nanana "Nah nanana"
