Yeah, woh
Girl and try slam it
Alright, It's time to play
U either down with me
Or you just in the way
I see u stirrin' it up girl
So let there be no delay
Come on bring the noise
There's a party downtown
Now let me call my boys
I'll see u at da club tonight
I'll be chasing u down
Like u ain't got no choice
Let's take this to another level
Base pumpin, turn up the treble
And we don't really give a damn, thats what they say
So get your Ipod started, and let the track play
/Chorus:
Ladies, This is the Anthem
I say Let that body go girl
And let me see you shake em
Fellas, come on go and get it
If u got what it takes
Get of your brakes and don't sweat it
So common' get with the vibe
I've got a little sumthin'
That's gonna drive you wild
U seem to know what I like girl
Now this is how we do it
Baby get on the ride
Now let me touch your spot (no)
That jeans with that thong
Got me feelin' hot (that?s right)
I know you're feelin' me
So baby work it for me
And let me see what you got
Let's take this to another level
Base pumpin, turn up the treble
And we don't really give a damn, thats what they say
So get your Ipod started let the track play
/Chorus
The time is right, to make a connection
Just get on-line girl, you make the selection
U deserve nothin' but pure perfection
Satisfaction guaranteed, I got justwhat u need
/Chorus
Oh no, i see the ladies..
