Clap y'all hands, y'all know what this is, so, so def.

[Bow Wow]
Now little mama, just break it down wit ya boi Bow Wow
And dat boi Chris Brown
All I wanna do is see you take it to the ground
Bring it up slow
Twerk dat thing like dem girls in da videos
And I'm leavin' here, with somethin', I come wit
Dat good game baby girl
I ain't frontin'
I got dat Bentley GT parked outside
So scream at it, when you ready to ride (come on)

[Chris Brown]
Let me talk to you
Tell you how it is
I was thinking when I saw that body
Got to get shawty
Tell her what the young boy gone do
Damn them chicks wit you
Gotta be okay
Baby, pretty thick with that kick that sick
That need to be hit
So tell me what ya'll gone do

I got friends and you got friends and you got friends
They hop out and you hop in
I look fly and they jockin'
The way you drop, drop makes me wanna pop
I got friends and you got friends and you got friends
They hop out and you hop in
I look fly and they jockin'
The way you drop, drop makes me wanna pop

Is your man, on the flo'
If he ain't, lemme kno'
Let me see if you can run it,
Girl indeed I can run it, run it
Is your man, on the flo'
If he ain't, lemme kno'
Let me see if you can run it,
Girl indeed I can run it, run it

You see, girl I can set you off
Don't believe my age is gonna slow us down
I can definitely show you things
To have you sayin' I cant be sixteen
Once I get in
You wanna go
I'll have you girls wishin' they were you
I know you heard 'bout me
But guess whats goin' down if we leave

I got friends and you got friends and you got friends
They hop out and you hop in
I look fly and they jockin'
The way you drop, drop makes me wanna pop
I got friends and you got friends and you got friends
They hop out and you hop in
I look fly and they jockin'
The way you drop, drop makes me wanna pop

Is your man, on the flo'
If he aint, lemme kno'
Let me see if you can run it,
Girl indeed I can run it, run it
Is your man, on the flo'
If he aint, lemme kno'
Let me see if you can run it,
Girl indeed I can run it, run it

Girl you feel right
Make me feel like
Wanna do a lil somethin'
Ain't no thing what you doin fo' sho'
Girl the way you wearin' dem jeans is turning me on
Your the hottest thing that's in these streets
So baby wont you rock me

[Bow Wow]
Now if ain't on da flo'
Den Imma step in
Me and Chris in
Tell yo friends
After party at my spot
Shawty gotta come back 'cus she so hot
Lookin for dem grown girls
That ain't scared to get to it
Know what to do
When we drop that music
Little mini skirt and she lookin' good
Got different color weaves
Man she so hood
I like dem thick in tha waist
All tan in the face
And girls come to us
We don't chase
She move her booty like a low rider
Up...down
Then she like the way how I put shit down
It ain't nothing to a G
I do this on the daily
You don't believe me
You can ask JD (yea you can ask me)
And make no second gesture now
Matter fact I got one question now

[Chris Brown]
Is your man, on the flo'
If he ain't, lemme kno'
Let me see if you can run it,
Girl indeed I can run it, run it
Is your man, on the flo'
If he ain't, lemme kno'
Let me see if you can run it,
Girl indeed I can run it, run it





[JD]
Right about I need for everybody to get to dance flo'
