All my ladies killin em get your hands up

Get your hands up
All my ladies killin em get your hands up
And if you really killin' em keep them hands up

[Fabolous]
You be killin' 'em

That girl bad, I mean badder than a villian
I'ma let you know girl, thats how real I am
Swagga on a hundred thousand trillion
Girl I mean look at you
I'm not gon' judge, cause I woulda threw the book at you
See a murder case every time I take a look at you
Where the ladies who be killin em
And where that hook at two?

[Neyo - Chorus]
Girl, when you put that on for me

And all that I can say baby
