[Ludacris]

Heyy girl how ya doin

you are the woman that I'm really pursuin,

I would like to get to know ya can you gimme ya name

if you jot down ya number you'll get mine in exchange

Heyy

See I'm the man of this town and I hope

you would'nt mind if I showed you around

so when you go to certain places you'll be thinkin of me

we got people to meet and many places to see



[Fabolous]

Breathe (x8)



[Ludacris]

Mmm

I'm really diggin ya lips

but be careful where you walkin when you swingin them hips

I'm kinda concerned that you'll be causin a crash

wit ya traffc jam booty, heads pausin so fast

Heyy

I would'nt trade you for the world I swear it

I like ya hair and every style that ya wear it

And how the colors cordinate wit ya clothes

from your manicured nails to ya pedicured toes



[Ying-Yang Twins]

wait til you see my dick

wait til you see my dick

Ay bitch! wait til you see my dick

Imma beat dat pussy up (x8)



[Slim Thug]

I don't take 'em out to eat

I ain't here to trick or treat

I ain't trying to fix your weave

I ain't heard of that

I'm just here to train ho's

Put 'em on the main road



[Arrested Development]

But I am still thirsty



[The Five Stairsteps]

Ooh-oo child

Things are gonna get easier

Ooh-oo child





Things'll get brighter

Overall Meaning

Girl Talk's song "Once Again" is a mashup that combines multiple songs from different genres; it is a creative and dynamic take on some classic tunes. The lyrics in the mix are taken from various songs, so each section creates its own lyrical narrative. The song opens with Ciara's "Goodies" and is followed up with Boston's "Foreplay/Long Time"; the lyrics from these snippets insinuate a man's advances on a woman he is interested in, including offering to show her around town. This theme is explored further with Ludacris' lyrics from "Pimpin' All Over the World," where he presents himself as a man who is "really pursuing" a woman while pointing out her attractive features.


The Ying Yang Twin's "Wait (The Whisper Song)" and Positive K's "I Got A Man" comment on sexual pursuits; the former being straightforward about what the artist claims he can do in bed, while the latter addresses a woman who already has a man. However, the lyrics switch to Slim Thug, who states he "ain't trying to fix your weave," and "I ain't heard of that" - these lyrics are opposite to Ludacris' previous lines, highlighting a switch in focus. Finally, the song ends with the optimistic lyrics of The Five Stairsteps' "O-o-h Child," suggesting that things will get better, possibly in a future relationship. The lyrics are diverse, but together, they paint the picture of a man who is exploring different situations of trying to win over a woman's heart.
