Ladies
Lakim Shabazz Lyrics

Time to jam, I got a quarter grand ready to splurge
I have some money and I want to go out and have fun

Suddenly I got the urge to watch some bodyslam
I suddenly want to watch some wrestling

Ready to go clubs-hoppin, my pockets Full of money and I'm feelin real funny ( ? ) figure eights in the place cold stun me
I am ready to go clubbing and dancing, feeling good with money in my pocket and enjoying the music and dancing

Then I got approached by this light skinned honey Said, "Don't look surprised, see, I know who you are Let's separate here and have a drink at the bar My name's Sexy Betsy, you are a rap star You got it goin on, I think you're gonna go real far"
A light-skinned woman approached me, introduced herself as Sexy Betsy, recognized me as a rap star, and wanted to have a drink with me

Tried to flatter me, said my lips look sweet And juicy, "and I bet it takes like a peach What do you think?" I said, "Sex on the Beach" A few more looks, I had her hooked like a leech
She complimented my lips, comparing them to a peach, and I responded with the name of a drink. Her interest in me grew after a few more interactions

Five minutes we hung out, honey girl strung out Now I coulda took honey girl home without a doubt She start to stare, run my fingers all through her hair You know what happened? A ( ? ) came out
I hung out with her for a few minutes and she seemed very interested in me. I could have taken her home, but when I ran my fingers through her hair, a hair weave came out, which surprised me

I was surprised, didn't wanna believe That my hand had to feel honey girl's hair weave So I chilled, I didn't get ill or rowdy Said, "See ya baby, I'm Audi like gowdy" Thought it was real but it was fake, see, I was blind You never know what you find Dealin with
I was surprised and didn't want to believe that her hair was fake. I remained calm and said goodbye to her. I thought it was real, but it turned out to be fake, and I was unaware of it at first

[CHORUS] (Ladies) Got to have you lady, you sexy baby (Ladies) Bamboo earrings and things like that don't phase me (Ladies) Yes, I'm speakin to the fly women of the world Peep it out (Ladies) Gimme a lady anytime and keep the fly girls
I appreciate and want all kinds of women, from fly girls to ladies, regardless of their style and accessories.

I like ladies that's light skinned, brown skinned The tone of skin to me makes no difference I don't understand why some brothers frown When they're approached by a woman who's dark or brown skinned Some light skinned women think they're too good Stay in the mirror all day and they think that they should Find a man who's much more darker than them Why choose your man by the color of skin?
I like women of all skin tones and don't understand why some men frown upon dark-skinned women. Some light-skinned women have a superiority complex and think they deserve men who are darker than them, but skin color should not be the basis for choosing a partner

I want you to know the eight shades of yellow Eight shades of brown and it equals 16 shades of black You need to wise up, cut out the bull crap Whoever told you that need to be slapped
I want you to understand that there are many shades of brown skin and that you should not discriminate based on skin tone. Anyone who tells you otherwise should be ignored.

I don't smoke dust, not on a pipe or crack The color of your skin to me doesn't mean jack Because I know the right way to angle you Most women are swift and changeable Listen up laides, see, I got a thing for you So now I'ma ( ? ) a few Because I think it's bout time I let you know I'm into women, but I'm not a superhoe They're so mysterious, there's somethin about em You can't live em and I can't live without em
I don't do drugs and I don't care about skin color. I understand how to communicate with women and appreciate their mysteriousness. I am attracted to women but not a player.

[CHORUS] Break it down [sax solo]
Repeating the chorus

Get on the dancefloor, make sure you don't trip Don't front now, I see you're pluckin those lips Get a grip on a groove and don't slip Shake it all around and roll your hips
Get on the dance floor, be careful not to trip, I see you're feeling the music, so let loose and dance

Hourglass bodies that look sexy sassy I'm the type that won't let a honey pass me I'm not a dog, my name's not Lassie Every once in a while I feel kinda nasty
I appreciate women with hourglass figures and won't let any opportunity slip by. I am not a player or a dog, but every once in a while, I feel a little naughty

Cool and calm, composure's kept But some honeys think I'm only out to get my thing wet My main goal is to control your soul On the dancefloor cause like Keith, I'll make you sweat Because you're so tender Leavin me breathless, so this message I send ya They're so mysterious, there's somethin about em You can't live em and I can't live without
I remain composed, but some women assume I only want sex. My main goal is to make you feel the music and dance with me, like Keith Sweat. I appreciate your tenderness and mystery, and I can't live without you

[CHORUS] Yeah, uknowmsayin? This is how I feel about you ladies in the '90s Cause y'all so sweet and tender So I had to kick one out for you, yeah This is Lakim Shabazz in full effect, 1990 And like L.L. said, 'small things are definitely behind me' See ya
This is my appreciation for women in the 90s, who I find sweet and tender. I made this song for you. This is Lakim Shabazz, 1990, and I agree with L.L. Cool J that I've moved on from small things.
