I'd like to get to know ya so I could show ya
Put the pussy on ya like I told ya
Gimme all your numbers so I could phone ya
Your girl actin' stank then call me over
Not on the bed, lay me on your sofa
Phone before you come, I need to shave my chocha
You do or you don't or you will or won't ya
Go downtown and eat it like a vulture
See my hips and my tips, don't ya
See my ass and my lips, don't ya
Lost a few pounds and my whips for ya
This the kinda beat that go ra-ta-ta
Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
Sex me so good I say blah-blah-blah
Work it, I need a glass of water

If you a fly gal get your nails done
Get a pedicure, get your hair did
Boy, lift it up, let's make a toast-a
Let's get drunk, that's gon' bring us closer
Don't I look like a Halle Berry poster
See the Belvedere playin' tricks on ya
Girlfriend want to be like me, never
You won't find a bitch that's even better
I make you hot as Las Vegas weather
Listen up close while I take it backwards
I'm not a prostitute, but I could give you what you want
I love your braids and your mouth full of floss
Love the way my ass go bum-bum-bum-bum
Keep your eyes on my bum-bum-bum-bum-bum
And think you can handle this gadong-a-dong-dong
Take my thong off and my ass go vroom
Cut the lights off so you see what I could do
Is it worth it, let me work it
I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I

Rock-thai,-thai-o-toy-o-thai-thai
Girls, girls, get that cash
If it's 9 to 5 or shakin' your ass
Ain't no shame, ladies do your thang
Just make sure you ahead of the game
Just 'cause I got a lot of fame supa
Prince couldn't get me change my name papa
Kunta Kinte a slave again, no sir
Picture black sayin', "Oh, yes a master"
Picture Lil' Kim dating a pastor
Minnie Me and Big Ren can out last ya
Who is the best, I don't have to ask ya
When I come out you won't even matter
Why you act dumb like "Uh, duh"
So you act dumb like "Uh, duh"
As the drummer boy go ba-rom-pop-pom-pom
Give you some-some-some of this Cinnabun
Is it worth it, let me work it
I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I
If you got a big, let me search it
And find out how hard I gotta work ya
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I
(Come on)
To my fellas
I like the way you work that
To my ladies

COVERT NARCISSIST:
DONโT SUPPORT YOU FOR WINNING.
ALWAYS โWOAH IS MEโ.
ALWAYS A VICTIM.
THEY FORCE PPL TO FEEL BAD FOR THEM, PRETTY MUCH ANYONE THEY CAN MANIPULATE
THE NAME OF THE GAME FOR A NARCISSIST IS โEMPOWERMENTโ
THEY WANT TO BE EMPOWERED BY YOU. WITHOUT YOUR ATTENTION, THEY CANโT GET TO YOUR EARS SO THEY WILL MAKE YOU SEE THEM SO LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE

@Roller324
This is not EVERY DAY attire! Like damn yโall are so judgmental and miserable Asf! Like yโall be acting like someone else having fun and being different is hurting yโall personally!! Iโm glad that Iโm not a celebrity. Because the way people are talking on the internetโฆ I would dare them to say it to my face! But we all know most people wouldnโt because they are cowards or they know itโs just stupid!
@Troy211
I don't understand how the fashion industry makes money with bullshit like this!
@ladyweasellou3367
ME TOO, she looks absolutely absurd. All these people are saying how beautiful it is but I doubt it's because they really think that so much as they are told to like it. Also I've never seen the absurd runway *Costumes* (no way in hell am I going to call that clothes or dresses) on anyone in the really world. They just look stupid and that hair style makes it all the worse.
