Y'all know who this is
(Ozuna, jaja)
Every time I come to town (uh)
Shortie bad, she gon' bust it down (yeah)
She know about the digits in my bank account
And she love the way I do it when I'm in it (ooh, oh)
Shortie bad, she gon' bust it down (yeah)
She know about the digits in my bank account
And she love the way I do it when I'm in it (ooh, oh)
From the LBC shore
Wheels up on the G4
Louis bag with the Gucci loafs
Silk shirt with a mink coat
Flying in, selling game to all you hoes and you're buying in
Legend in your presence, hiding
Got a room full of bitches and they lying there
High in there, ain't no fire, but a lot of wine in there
They get it, ain't no WiFi
On the low, close the door, bitch, I Spy
See when I pull up, jump in, we slip out
Roll up, roll out, get mines, dip out
She had to come and give a real Crip a taste
Out of pocket, never that stayin' in stripper's place
Big brown ass with some fat titties
And baby make magic when I'm in the city
Every time I come to town (uh)
Shortie bad, she gon' bust it down (yeah)
She know about the digits in my bank account
And she love the way I do it when I'm in it (ooh, oh)
Yeah, every time I come to town (uh)
Shortie bad, she gon' bust it down (yeah)
She know about the digits in my bank account
And she love the way I do it when I'm in it (ooh, oh, ma')
Ya perdí la cuenta de lo que me estoy buscando
Gastando, viajando el mundo, en un avión rodando (un avión rodando)
Tu mujer me está chequeando (-tá chequeando)
Y no le cuentes que en el año son treinta palo' sonando (-ta palo' sonando)
Balenciaga, flow de Richard Mille, de Patek de los baguettes
¿Quién te enseñó ese, quién fue? (Ah)
Lo que tú hace' ahora ya yo lo pasé, ah (ya yo lo pasé, ah)
A melón por año estuviera en '93 (ah)
Que tú no tienes flow, yo lo valgo y lo mantengo (y lo mantengo)
Tírenme to', que con ustedes me entretengo (me entretengo)
Tú suenas bien pero el jarabe yo lo tengo (ay, yo lo tengo)
Bajé pa'l barrio, de ahí es que yo me mantengo (nah, jaja)
Que tú no tienes flow, yo lo valgo y lo mantengo (y lo mantengo)

Eyes hid behind the tints on my glasses (I'm high)

Time is money baby, so I quibble over semantics (word)
Ace card good, but my license invalid (word)
She gon' throw it back, but it ain't for the challenge (throw it back)
I just seen Snoop park the Wraith at the valley (Wraith)
And we with crazy girls, so the girls gotta be 'bout it (let's go)
From the zip to the LBC, we make the girls get W-E-T
I see you, I know you see me
Can I get sloppy in the foreign two seater? (Skrt)
Yeah, mami, call me, "Big Papi" (Big Papi)
Chop a nigga, don't speak 'cause I'm rich and groovy
Got hits like Rudy, make a bitch whistle me
Tequila got me loopy, Russ pack, fruity (nigga)
Every time I come to town (uh)
Shortie bad, she gon' bust it down (yeah)
She know about the digits in my bank account

The song "I Do" by Lil Jon featuring Swizz Beatz and Snoop Dogg talks about their experiences with women when they come to town. Lil Jon says that he attracts bad girls who know about the money he has in his bank account, and love the way he handles his business in bed. Snoop Dogg brags about his status as a legend and his ability to sell himself to women, all while enjoying the high life. Swizz Beatz also talks about his money and expensive tastes, and his ability to make women swoon with his flashy lifestyle. The chorus is sung by Ozuna in Spanish, where he talks about his lavish lifestyle and the fact that he has lost count of how much he has spent and how much he is earning.
The lyrics of "I Do" have caused controversy due to their objectification of women and glamorization of a hedonistic lifestyle. Critics have pointed out that the song's message is shallow and promotes negative stereotypes of women as objects who are only interested in a man's wealth and status.
