Dillard was born in the 187th Street projects of Carol City, Florida. His single mother raised him and his seven sisters, some of whom sang in a local gospel group. As a teenager, Dillard worked with local rap group 2 Live Crew and formed his own amateur group with some friends called the Groundhoggz. His work with 2 Live Crew member Fresh Kid Ice attracted attention of DeVante Swing, a member of the band Jodeci. However, he was rejected by several of the major labels, so he sought many other jobs outside of music. After graduating from high school in 1998, he studied international business management at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for two years and attended Barry University for two months. He returned to Florida to continue pursuing his music career after receiving a phone call from a representative of the independent label Poe Boy Entertainment. Dillard signed with Poe Boy in 2006, and as Flo Rida he began affiliating with other Florida rappers, such as Rick Ross, Trina, T-Pain, and Trick Daddy. A promotional street single entitled "Birthday", featuring Rick Ross, was his first significant release. He made his debut guest appearance with the song "Bitch I'm from Dade County" on DJ Khaled's album We the Best, which featured Trick Daddy, Trina, Rick Ross, Brisco, C-Ride, and Dre.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
White girl got some ass
I wanna see it
Black girl got a ass
It ain't a secret
Baby turn around
I wanna see it, tryin' to see it, gotta see it
I wanna see that babu iam bam, baram bam baram
Uh, I think I found one 'cause I got that fever of Britney
Gotta self around one, ass like Serena, that's okay
'Cause I love my stereotypes, my girls in tools
That maximum exposure Rose know what I wanna do,
Telling all the girls, all around the world,my last name must be Robin
'cause I'm basking in these asses, all thirty flavours keep calling,
My my my my vanilla Cinderella love it when I tell her drop it,
My butter pick but I love my chocolate
I can't believe it
White girl got some ass
I wanna see it
Black girl got a ass
It ain't a secret
Baby turn around
I wanna see it, tryin' to see it, gotta see it
I wanna see that babu iam bam, baram bam baram
Babu iam bam, baram bam baram
Babu iam bam, baram bam baram
Babu iam bam, baram bam baram
She got that butt donk-donkie-donkie
They so fat, they so chunky,
Call me Michael Jackson, hi hi
'Cause I love to play with monkies,
This the Miami thing, that's right
We down for anything that's right,
Youtube everything, that's right
Flow right to Pitbull anything,
I'm off the chain and lane lane, lane lane
Ustedes saben quien es quien
Mira esa gringa con toda esa nalga
Como tu sabes estoy loco.
Pero que bueno que era poco,
Mami mueve los coco,
I don't care where you're from
As long as you got that babu bam

The song “Can’t Believe It” by Flo Rida feat. Pitbull is a club banger that contains lyrics celebrating the physical attributes of women. The lyrics discuss the desire to see the buttocks of both white and black women, as well as a love of stereotypes and “thick” women. The chorus repeats the line “I wanna see it” and the refrain is the phrase “babu iam bam, baram bam baram”, a nonsensical phrase that seems to be used as a way to generate excitement and energy for the song.
The first verse of the song describes the singer’s attraction to women with different body types, and how he relishes in the different flavors of women. He asserts that he loves his “stereotypes” – referring to the cultural icons and socially recognized ways of being that women from different backgrounds are alleged to have. He uses the example of “maximum exposure Rose” to illustrate that he knows what he wants, before transitioning into a verse discussing his love of “big butts”. The second verse seems to allude to the fact that the singer is obsessed with Miami, describing his love of “monkies” and Miami culture.
Overall, the lyrics seem to be a celebration of the physical qualities of women, and the song is likely intended to inspire dancing and celebration in a club or party environment. The use of Pitbull’s Spanish-language rap towards the end of the song is also notable, as it acknowledges his Latin roots and adds a multicultural flair to the track.
