Girl, I been shaking, sticking, and moving tryin' to get you and that booty
Tryin' to get to you and that booty
Tryin' to get to you and that booty
Girl, I been shaking and acting a donkey tryin' to get you and that monkey
Tryin' to get to you and that monkey
Tryin' to get to you and that monkey
Girl, he simpin' (Simpin')
I walk up in the club with a limpin' (limpin')
God listen, what you gonna do with this pimpin'?
What you gonna do with this pimpin'?
Girl, I'm a call ya (call ya)
Later on tonight or tomorrow ('morrow), now follow
What you gonna do with this baller?
What you gonna do with this baller?
[E-40]
What you gonna do when I bend the block (bend the block)?
Pull up on that ass in a brand new drop (brand new drop)?
Speakers on blast with tremendous knock ('mendous knock)?
TV's in the dash, rims just won't stop
You need to be down with a pimp like me
I ain't turning down nothing but my collar, you see
I'm a leave you with my number; you should holler at me
'Cause I'm a baller; can't nobody hustle harder than me, oh
[Chorus: T-Pain]
[E-40]
Oh, your ass is right
I ain't tryin' to let that pass me tonight
I'm a put my bid in and tell you something slick
Whisper in your ear while I'm holding my dick
I don't mean no harm, it's the hood in me (hood in me)
Sipping on that Renshaw Hennessy (Hennessy)
Psychedelic colors in my jewelry (jewelry)
Suckers hella jealous 'cause you digging me, oh
Now what you gonna do, mama?
I'm tryin' to dip later on, me and you, mama
I like the way that you groove and you move, mama
You know the women love me; I'm the forty water (forty water)
Popping my P's 'cause I'm laced with game
Nothin' but the Yay flowing through my vein
She wear Miss Sixty, can't fit in the Gucci
'Cause her ass big enough to sit a cup on her booty (goodness!)
[Chorus: T-Pain]
[Kandi Girl]
Yeah, I see you looking (looking)
But my ass in these jeans got you shook, and (shook, and)
I don't think you know what to do with this pussy
What you gonna do with this pussy?
Yeah, I know you want this (want this)
Tryin' to chase me through the club for this good shit (good shit)
But I don't think you can handle this pussy
What you gonna do with this pussy?
[E-40]
You looking like you got that good gooshy, gooshy
Fucking 'round with me, I beat the brakes off that pussy
Have your ass cumming like a porn star movie
Tell your friends, and I bet they all wanna do me
Hos know me, I'm E-Fo-Oh (E-Fo-Oh)
They recognize pimping when I step in the door (step in the door)
Higher than a satellite full of that dro (full of that dro)
Holla at a playa when you ready to go, oh
[Chorus: T-Pain]
In E-40's song "U and Dat," the chorus, performed by T-Pain, repeats the phrase "tryin' to get you and that booty" and "tryin' to get to you and that monkey" in regards to a woman that both rappers are interested in. E-40's verse focuses on his pimp persona, touting his flashy car and expensive accessories. He offers the woman his number and asks her to call him, claiming to be a skilled baller and hustler. Kandi Girl's verse is a response to the male rappers' advances. She acknowledges that they want her and her body, but also asserts that they are not prepared for what she has to offer.
The song's lyrics are sexually explicit and objectifying towards women. The repeated refrain of "that booty" and "that monkey" reduce the woman to a sexual object and emphasizes the male desire for her body. However, the addition of Kandi Girl's verse injects a sense of assertiveness into the song, with her refusal to be objectified and insistence that men cannot handle her.
