Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down south let me see what ya bouncin' like
West coast let me see what ya crumpin' like
Mid West let me see what ya mono like
East coast let me see what ya shakin' like
C'mon
[Bow Wow]
Heard my songs, you know how it goes
Since 87 I've been having this effect on these females
Power to make them stand and listen to me like a sea shell
I got what they want, I know how they like it
Got what ya need baby please don't fight it
You know my status, know my flow
You know that nigga that u wit, he ain't even close
[Bridge]
I'm money in the bag, all I do is pop tags
Don't you wanna be down, with somebody that's gonna make you smile and laugh
Don't you wanna be down
I'm young, I'm fly and I got the swag, that u need in your life
I'm a young J.Brown, I'm super bad, guaranteed to treat you right
Let's ride
[Chorus]
All I need is one time and I bet you go crazy
Cause I'ma make you do what it do baby
No if's, no and's, no but's or maybe's
Cause I'ma make you do what it do baby
Don't worry, don't trip, just hurry hurry and bring it over here baby
Don't worry, don't trip, just hurry cause I'ma make you do what it do baby
Ya nigga 18 now, you ain't know
If you touch me like you did when we was kids
It's on, its on, I'ma take ya home
I'm grown , I'm grown, I'll make ya moan
If you want it, better act like you want it cause the girl right beside you want your spot
If you know what it is, act like you know, bring your pretty self over here and drop it like its hot
For the Beezy weezy lil like easy, say in on the tele and do it like its for TV
You could win or lose, its up to you how u play it
You see it, I ain't gotta say it, I'm money in the bag all I do is pop tags
Don't you wanna be down
With somebody that's gonna make you smile and laugh
Don't you wanna be down
[Chorus]
[Repeat: x2]
Down south let me see what ya bouncin' like
West coast let me see what ya crumpin' like
Mid West let me see what ya mono like
East coast let me see what ya shakin' like
C'mon
[Chorus]
