Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yea She a dime piece right there I'm a Holla at her
She so fine I don't know what to say What should I say to her?
So when can we date? nah nah I can't say that
I'm a say somethin' nice to her, ya know?
When can we date? nah! I'll jus' tell her like thys
I got good taste and I like your shape
You thin in the waist extra cute in the face
You ain't got a man so when can we date
I got good taste and I like your shape
Dem itty bitty shorts and your micro-braids
You thin in the waist extra cute in the face
You ain't got a man so when can we date
I gotta stay fresh (You suppose to be)
It ain't my fault if yo hoe told me (nah
I snatch up every broad (Standing close to me)
She can be with me if she wanna be
I spotted her, she had me froze, she made my mind freeze
I ain't know what to say this chick was a dime- piece
She might not be my type and then she might be
I stepped quick, thinking to myself would she like me?
I want her so I holla no hesitation, I spoke quick
She started diggin' my conversation, my blood racin'
You play the doctor and I be your patient
If my heart had a safe I give you the combination
Unlock and give me love, it be me you be thinking of
They say it was straight game but all I said was I got good taste
And I like your shape so all I wanna know is when can we date
I got good taste and I like your shape
Dem itty bitty shorts and your micro-braids
You thin in the waist extra cute in the face
You ain't got a man so when can we date

Like a trial you the judge of my acquitted
I'm waiting on your verdict c'mon now tell if you wit it
I'm willing to take you out and show you some nice things
Reserve us a dinner and listen to Kelly sing, Step, Step in the name of love
I can tell you about books, or I can tell you about drugs
Tha average college thug, it's just the way I be livin'
I need a miss thug, believe it's you that I'm missin'
Picture us covered with sheet rhymin' beat for beat
Huggin' and kissin' I can massagin' your neck and your feet

Dem itty bitty shorts and your micro-braids
You thin in the waist extra cute in the face
You ain't got a man so when can we date

You ain't got a man so when can we date
I need a slim girl with a little tiny waste
One who love the dick and even love to taste
So when can we date, it don't matter where the place
You know I keep my tool got to keep my baby safe
You know you got a solider straight down and off the base
Now I know the block all day doin' what it take
And when I give you money yea them girls gonna hate
We can hit the rink I know your size in roller skates
Or roll up some bushes fire 'em up by the lake
Or take you to a restaurant and eat a couple steaks
Now my friends say I can't, on the phone when I shade
I'm thinking she my mate so when can we date
I got good taste and I like your shape
Dem itty bitty shorts and your micro-braids
You thin in the waist extra cute in the face
You ain't got a man so when can we date
I got good taste and I like your shape
Dem itty bitty shorts and your micro-braids
You thin in the waist extra cute in the face
You ain't got a man so when can we date
Told you boy I just went over there and straight told her
What did you say to her?
When can we date she came home with no problem
So next time you see a girl what you gone say
When can we date Yeah ha ha I got one shawty ha ha

The guy spotlights a girl at a club or on the street and tells her exactly what he thinks of her. He talks about her body, including her itty bitty shorts and micro-braids, and tells her that she is "extra cute in the face." He then proceeds to tell her that he wants to take her out on a date, complimenting her slim waist and asking when they can arrange to meet.
The song is explicit in its message, but it's also a classic piece of hip-hop music that has endured over the years.
