Let's slide

'Cuz we gon' take a ride tonight
So ma

And we gon' get it on tonight
Yo, now I was downtown clubbin', ladies night
Seen Shorty, she was crazy right
And I approached baby like
"Ma, what's your age and type?"
She looked at me and said, "You's a baby right?"
I told her, "I'm 18 and live a crazy life
Plus I'll tell you what the 80's like
And I know what the ladies like
Need a man that's polite, listens, and takes advice
I could be all three, plus I could lay the pipe
Come wit me, come stay the night"
She looked at me laughin', like "Boy your game is tight"
I'm laughin' back like "Sure ya right"
"Get in the car and don't touch nothing
Sit in the car, let's discuss something
Either we lovin' or I'll see you tomorrow"
Now we speeding up the westside
Hand creepin' up her left side, I'm ready to do it
Ready to bone, ready for dome
55th exit, damn, damn, already we home
Now let's get it on
What's up?
Let's slide
All right

And we gon' get it on tonight
You smoke?

'Cuz we gon' take a ride tonight
So ma

All right

And we gon' get it on tonight
Now that I got a girl, my ex wanna holla and spit
Told me to acknowledge her quick
She like, "Cam stop frontin'
On that Dave Hollister Tip
Come over lets swallow and sip
I'm like momma that's it"
I promise you dick, usually have a problem with chicks
They all say I'm rotten and rich
But not her, Boo be's real
High heel dooby feel, plus got them Gucci nails on
You a cutie still
And this my down girl too, ain't no groupie deal
We left the movies with Uzies, Suzuki wheels
To the jacuzzi, I tell you my Boo be's real
I mean she do be winning, loose spendin'
Go to the crib, she got the Gucci linen'
I see Boo be grinning
She looked and said, "Cam, I know that you be sinning"
"Naw, I'm a changed man, look at the range man
I got a whole new game plan"
Looked and said, "That's nothing but game, Cam"
She was right, she was up in the range man
Dropped her off at the L, now I'm flippin' the cell
That's right I had to call up L
Yo L

Plus dome
Say word
And we got it on tonight

The lyrics of Cam’ron's "Hey Ma" is a playful celebration of the excitement and thrill of "getting it on tonight." The opening lines are about getting high, driving fast cars, and heading out for a joy ride with the object of one's desire. The lyrics eventually delve into how the singer meets a girl at a club and convinces her to come with him. The chorus repeats itself throughout the song, highlighting the playful and flirty tone - "what's up? Let's slide, and we gon' get it on tonight." The second verse involves the singer’s ex wanting to reconcile, but he only wants to hook up with her for the night. The lyrics mirror the playful tone of the chorus, with the visual description of leather seats, designer outfits, jacuzzis, and Gucci linen.
Overall, the song is an ode to the playful and fun aspects of a hookup culture, with a playful and catchy chorus that invites the listener to immerse themselves in the nightclub atmosphere. The song's tone is celebratory and highlights the excitement of youthful exuberance, free-spiritedness, and living life with passion and carefree abandon.
