Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh say what
Say what, say what
Ooh girl you
Know what's up
Oh say what
Say what, say what
Oh girl you
Know what's up
Me and my
People be rolling
Trailing on you
And your homies
The very first
Day of summer
All chromed out
In a hummer babe
Hit the park and parle
Hope that your off
'Cause you're awake
'Cause you and
Your girls want to ride
Play all day puff on the lye

Oh say what
Say what, say what
(You know that
I like it baby)
Ooh girl you
Know what's up
(And you know
What I need)
Oh say what
Say what, say what
(You know that
I'm 'bout it baby)
Oh girl you
Know what's up
(Oh)

I'm digging you
I'm feeling you
And you know
What's up
Said I'm big on you
And I'm wanting you
So tell me what's up

We out five and
I'm zoning
Running around
Two in the morning
Looking fly with
That sun dress on
I think I feel
A bone coming on
Girl you got
Me wide open
Fiending all day
And I'm hoping
So baby don't front
Backseat jeep
You know what I want

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 2]

Oh yeah
Whoa
Digging you
You got me
Big on you





[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 2 to end
