Okay

Steppin', steppin', steppin' out.
One of them brand new big boy toys,
I do big boy things,
I make big boy noise 'cause
I know what girls want
I know what they like
They want to stay up
And party all night
So bring a friend.

Let me talk to you
Tell you how it is.
I was thinkin' when I saw that body
Gotta get shorty
Tell her what the young boy goin' do.
Damn them chicks with you
Gotta be okay
Babe pretty thick with a kick that's sick
That need to be hit
So tell me what y'all goin' do.

I 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.
They hop out and you hop in.
I look fly and they jockin'.
The way you drop, drop
Makes me wanna pop

Lemme see if you can run it, run it.
Girl indeed I can run it, run it.

On the floor?

Let me know.
Lemme see if you can run it, run it.
Girl indeed I can run it, run it.

You'll see,
Girl I can set you off.
I don't believe my age gonna slow us down.
I can definitely show you things,
To have you saying I can't be 16.
Once I get in,
You won't let go,
(And i)
I have them girls wishin' they were you
(And i)
I know you heard bout me,
But guess what's goin' down if we leave.

I 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
