Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only thing that keeps me up when I'm feelin' down
I don't know about you, but I gotta keep mines around 'cause
I done looked out and searched, and it's hard to find another shorty like mine
Baby, yes, I'm addicted to how we kick it, everything you say to me
Never knew it could be so wicked, hopin' that you stay wit' me
Search around the world, but you will never find another shorty like mine
You got a girl, but she ain't nothin' like (mine)
Cute face, nice size, like (mine)
Fake kitted hood wit' it like (mine)
Mean walk, talk the talk
Let me tell you some more
I knew when I ran into this one, she would be the redrum of my pimpin'
Knew she would be the one to make me stop caring
About other girls on my jock, and gettin' them
She was the one to slow me down, hold me down
I roll wit' her now, go wit' it now
I'm a grow wit' it now
I'm a go get her now
I got her; don't be mad you can't get one holla
Broke the mold when they made lil' mama
I don't care what my niggas say
She been there everyday for my drama
Some of the homies hate 'cause they want her
Wish they the ones that's datin' my woman
Gon' get a good look 'cause she fine
And I don't mind 'cause she mine
Only thing that keeps me up when I'm feelin' down
