Booty, booty droppin, droppin
Women are dancing suggestively and moving their butts up and down

Naughty, naughty poppin' knockin'
The women are not only dancing suggestively, but they're also making other sensual body movements

Niggaz eyes got they suck it
Men are staring at the women's dancing and they are captivated by their skills

Drop it, drop it, poppin', knockin'
The women are continuing their suggestive dancing and other sensual movements
