Lil Bow Wow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh-huh, yo (Oh, oh)
Uh-huh, yo (Uh-huh, oh, oh)
Uh-huh, yo (Bounce, bounce)
See around here (Uh-huh, uh, huh-uh)
I made things that make y'all bounce
Ya know?
Ya know what I mean? (Yeah, yeah)
Left to right, right to left (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
It's So So Def (Yeah uh)
And uh, it's going down
Ya know what I mean? (Yeah)
My man Bow Wow (Bow Wow, yeah hear me now)
Yeah, ya heard? (Check it out)
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! (Peep game, let's go)

Around here we pop them collars
Around here we get them dollars
Every girl I see that look right
Like me just gotta holla
This kid here all about stackin' up
Talk big here but we can back it up
Long 'cause everybody get crunk
When they drop in the club starts acting up
I represent the S-O-S-O, D-E-F-M-O-B
That's me, JD, Da Brat, and JE
So please believe
What I do ain't never been done
Ohio is where I'm from
I heard what you said
And I saw what you do
And y'all playas really don't want none
From the day to the night, I rock
Say what you like, never not
Stayin' alive, living the life
Gots to keep it hot
Shotgun in the drop
Riding good, twenties, TVs, leather and wood
Poppin', watching Big Momma
Holdin' it down like a playa should
Sing-a-long now!

All I want to do is see ya
Bounce with me, bounce with me
Grab a partner hit the floor
Bounce with me, bounce with me
Some clap, clap others stomp
But around here we get it crunk when ya
Bounce with me, bounce with me
All I want to do is see ya
Bounce with me, bounce with me
Grab a partner hit the floor
Bounce with me, bounce with me
Some clap, clap others stomp
But around here we get it crunk when ya
Bounce with me, bounce with me

It's the B to the O-W
Wow even your girl fall in love
When I smile
The type of little guy you ain't seen in a while
Ignore the height, just right for you size
I get in where I fit in
Braided up, paid the bucks
And I'm still a kid
Imagine what life like when I get big
I'mma be rich surrounded by chicks
Couple of cars, couple of cribs
Gettin' a couple mill
Shining every time I feel
You see how So So get ill
You don't want no stuff up in here
Bow to the wow
Flavor in your ear now
I get down 'cause I'm hit bound
And I rock an iced out Mickey Mouse around my neck
And I hang on, like Vince Carter
With his arm in the net
And I outta snatch up your daughters
But I was brought up with respect
When I turn 16 I'mma call her though
And show her how to ride with a baller yo
Let her know why it wouldn't hurt her
Go and fall in love with a, like me along time ago
Sing-a-long now!

All I want to do is see ya
Bounce with me, bounce with me
Grab a partner hit the floor
Bounce with me, bounce with me
Some clap, clap others stomp
But around here we get it crunk when ya
Bounce with me, bounce with me
All I want to do is see ya
Bounce with me, bounce with me
Grab a partner hit the floor
Bounce with me, bounce with me
Some clap, clap others stomp
But around here we get it crunk when ya
Bounce with me, bounce with me

I, I, I wanna to see you bounce with me now
Take, take, take it down to the ground with me now




Shake, shake, shake it all around the town with me now
What ya gon' do shorty, what ya gon' do

His flow at that age was off the charts!! A legend!!

@kyairehutchins8170

Da Brat wrote this for him lol, that's her flow

@Embermoon91

Even if someone else wrote it, his execution of the song was epic! Not all singers/rappers write their songs.

@Embermoon91

Plus, he might not have had ne essay lyrical skills at his age at the time, and may have developed some later.
