Hey Baby
Killer Mike/No Doubt/OutKast Lyrics

Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
The singer is addressing someone they find attractive.

Girls say, boys say
Both genders respond to the singer's attractive presence.

I'm the kinda girl that hangs with the guys Like a fly on the wall with my secret eyes Taking it in, try to be feminine With my makeup bag, watching all the sin Misfit, I sit, lit up, wicked Everybody else surrounded by the girls With the tank tops and the flirty ways
The singer is a woman who prefers the company of men, observing the world around her while staying true to her unique style.

I'm just sipping on chamomile Watching boys and girls and their sex appeal With a stranger in my face who says he knows my mom And went to my high school
The artist is relaxed, observing the world around her and reminiscing about encounters with strangers who claim to know her.

All the boys say Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
The artist's attractiveness is acknowledged by all male onlookers.

Girls say, girls say Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
The singer's attractiveness is also acknowledged by all female onlookers.

I'm the one they feed upon Give a bit, a star is born And if you had enough you'll get the pass And you can tell your friends how you made it back No matter what they say I'm still the same Somehow everybody knows my name And all the girls wanna get with the boys And the boys really like it
The singer is aware of her allure and the fact that people often use her for attention or connections. Despite this, she remains authentic to herself, even as she acknowledges the attention she receives.

Check it out, it's Bounty Killer, and No Doubt Jump on the stage makes me going crazy Afterwards myself and one of them gorgeous ladies (that's right) There is no need to be acting shady Come on baby, hey hey baby Jump on the stage makes me going crazy Afterwards myself and one of them gorgeous ladies (yeah man) There is no need to be acting shady Come on baby, hey hey baby
The artist is excited to interact with performers Bounty Killer and No Doubt, and ends up having a good time with one of the female performers.

When you rock your hips you know that it amaze me Got me off the hook and nothing else don't phase me Can you be my one and only sunshine lady If no, no maybe, hey
The artist is still admiring the dance moves of the person they're speaking to and is hoping to pursue a relationship with them.

All the boys get the girls in the back
The artist observes how people gravitate towards each other based on attractiveness or perceived status.
