Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would like to get to know if I could be
The kind of girl that you could be down for
Cause when I look at you I feel something tell me
That you're the kind of guy that I should make a move on
Yeah I get exotic with the malotic tune I get hypnotic with the room
But you got to put me down soon I flip a sideshow
I'm about as ready as the Lyte can get we can go all out
I ain't afraid of the sweat but yet I bet you got the techniques
To freak a girl inside out what's that all about(oh yeah)
Can I have some of that you got to put me on word around town
Is your nine men strong I wanna be put on in the worst way since
The first day I think it was a Thursday (oh baby) you be that brother
That I wanna sink my teeth in make me wanna ask where the hell you been
I like the way you be with all that personality but I got flavor too you needs
To get with me
I wanna be down
With what you're going through
I wanna be down
I wanna be down with you
No matter the time
Of day or night it's true
I wanna be down
He was born twenty years ago just a pimp toes everyday new clothes
Look at the cut cool-toes on three got the heat so bluff it sling' teshies
Cause it's more than twenty duckets struck it kind of rich now his pockets
Lookin' straight slam the these on the benzo pancake by the gate moms
Lookin' straight with her house she got great loungin' in her new home

Until tha body rock keep it on and you don't stop rock on
The lyrics in Brandy/MC Lyte/Queen Latifah/Yoyo's song "I Wanna Be Down" are about a girl who sees a guy she's interested in and wants to know if she can be the kind of girl he could be down for. She feels something when she looks at him and thinks he's the kind of guy she should make a move on. MC Lyte, Queen Latifah and Yoyo then add their verses, expressing their own individual desires for the same guy. They all want him because he's got the looks, the pockets, the power and the personality, and they all believe they have something to offer him that he can't resist. In the end, they all just want to be down with him and what he's going through, no matter the time of day or night.
The song was released in 1994 and became a hit for Brandy, reaching number six on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was also a hit in several other countries, including the UK and Germany. The song was co-written by Brandy, Keith Crouch and Kipper Jones, and produced by Keith Crouch.

A lot of people have it twisted. Not everyone who's a tomboy is a lesbian. Not everyone who is girly is straight either. It's a style. And I loved it in this era.
@Khadielovesscents
I just loved the realness of females back in the 90’s. Natural beauty
