Them big body business big night business
Them can’t disrespect this
Them ah don’t know from this tune
Come on, everybody done sell off
We no play no kinda game no soundboy can't come
Used to tell me I’m going down
Used to tell me I’m going down
I’m all that they want now
Used to tell me I’m going down
I’m all that they want now
Used to tell me I’m going down
I’m all that they want now
Maybe it's Maybelline,
Or maybe I was just born with it
All I got up in these jeans
Really ain’t none of y'all business
Running out, rolling up
I’m taking off into orbit
Boys lookin', size me up
Damn, they think that I’m gorgeous
Heads turnin' as soon as a I walk by
Boys fightin' over all that I got
From the moment I pulled in the parking lot
They can’t help but to stop and park
Keep on lookin', keep lookin' on but you’re lookin' as
Keep on lookin', keep lookin' on but you’re lookin' as
Keep on lookin', keep lookin' on but you’re lookin' as
Keep on lookin', boy what I got baby you can’t have
Used to tell me I’m going down, I’m all that they want now
Used to tell me I’m going down, I’m all that they want now
Used to tell me I’m going down, I’m all that they want now
Used to tell me I’m going down, I’m all that they want now
I would tell you haters to fuck off
But I’m still such a lady
Hate to say that I told y'all
Now you see I ain’t playin'
I’m on another level
You should come get like me
Can’t no one do it batter
Is that so hard to believe?
Heads turnin' as soon as a I walk by
Boys fightin' over all that I got
From the moment I pulled in the parking lot
They can’t help but to stop and park
Keep on lookin', keep lookin' on but you’re lookin' as
Keep on lookin', keep lookin' on but you’re lookin' as
Keep on lookin', keep lookin' on but you’re lookin' as
Keep on lookin', boy what I got baby you can’t have
Used to tell me I’m going down, I’m all that they want now
Used to tell me I’m going down, I’m all that they want now
Used to tell me I’m going down, I’m all that they want now
Used to tell me I’m going down, I’m all that they want now
Keep on lookin', keep lookin' on but you’re lookin' as
Keep on lookin', keep lookin' on but you’re lookin' as
Keep on lookin', keep lookin' on but you’re lookin' as
