Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll bet you never seen it like this (uh oh, y'all know what this is)
Just stay up on that floor girl (for all the girls taking)
And I'll grant all your wishes (amateur strip classes for exercise)
You know, you know, you know (this one's for you)
You know, you know, you know
You hot
You know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know
Especially when you bounce, bounce (we all just taking like a Magic City, Club Rolex)
I really like it when you bounce, bounce
I like it when you bounce, bounce (Sue's Rendezvous)
I like it when you bounce, bounce
Oh, oh
Ooh you so nasty
Amateur pole dancing
Come and get this cash from me
They call me rain man
She tried to rain dance
Money so long it will drown you girl
Buried under so much stacks
They had to pull back about fifty thou
Before they found ya girl
I brought book bags of that bankroll
I'm a D boy, baby they know
I'm an original D boy
They go bankrupt if they try to keep up
No roof on my car but I got mirrors on the ceiling
I'll spread bread on the bed
Ever had sex on a million
Tell me
Anything you want girl
I'll bet you never seen it like this
Just stay up on that floor girl
And I'll grant all your wishes
You know, you know, you know
You hot
You know, you know, you know

You know, you know, you know
Especially when you bounce, bounce
I really like it when you bounce, bounce
I see money when you bounce, bounce
I like it when you bounce, bounce
Oh, oh
Red light, TLC
Through my left eye
My POV
On the iChat
How's that for computer love
She rolled her eyes back
I'm like ooh you're so nasty
You turned my Maybach back seat
Into the Hotel De'Paris
I ain't gotta go
Down to the go-go
You got a private show that's like Magic City
I got stacks of fifties
I got piles of hundreds
Let's role play
Act like you want it
You know, you know you hot like fire
You throw that body
I'll throw them dollars
But not them ones's and not no five's
Have you ever seen a Grover Cleveland?
That's a thousand dollars
Anything you want girl (that's real baby)
I'll bet you never seen it like this
Just stay up on that floor girl
And I'll grant all your wishes
You know, you know, you know
You hot
You know, you know, you know

You know, you know, you know
Especially when you bounce, bounce
I know I like it when you bounce, bounce
I see money when you bounce, bounce
I like it when you bounce, bounce
Oh, oh
You know, you know
You hot like fire
As I blow this dough
You might could retire
Take it slow like Neo
When shots was fired
In the Matrix have patience
Got lots of bottles
Rock-a-bye baby JAY-Z got notes like Mariah
Got no ones's got no fives's
My D notes are higher
I'm a D boy, they decoys
They money is lighter
Than Nicole Richie
Roll with me
They on the diet baby
Anything you want girl (that's real baby)
I'll bet you never seen it like this
Just stay up on that floor girl
And I'll grant all your wishes
You know, you know, you know
