Ladies and gentleman
We want to welcome everybody for coming out tonight
To another S-T-L/A-T-L connection
We don't normally do this
But, we gon' keep the party going
I'm looking for the country girls (go shorty, do your thing now)
Sexy girls (go shorty, do your thing now)
Pretty girls, oh yeah
[Nelly]
I need that one that'll make ya heart stop when you see her
She can get a pick of the 'Llac or the Modena
I'll give it all from two to fo'-seaters
It ain't gotta be Halloween, I'm tricking just to treat her
Jealousy in the air, other girls want to be her
She young right now, she's an up-and-coming diva
She ain't gotta measure up, but she gotta be off the meter
But if I can dance with Cindy, I can dance with Shaquita
Cause I know I can, I shall, I will
I feels I can, I felt
I plays with a whole lot of mil's
You ain't talking 'bout nothing if you ain't talking 'bout dollar bills (hey!)
Shorty glow shine, so fine, you gotta keep her (hey!)
Pretty toed, half Black, half senorita (hey!)
Coochie so good, make it hard for you to leave her
I'm a player so even if I'm losing I never cheat her
[Chorus]
Girls, girls
Fly girls
Yeah yeah yeah
Pretty toes all around the world
I'm looking for the country girls (go shorty, do your thing now)
City girls (go shorty, do your thing now)
Sexy girls (go shorty, do your thing now)
Pretty girls, oh yeah
Hey, hey
T.I.P. be off the meter when he sharp as a needle
In a new two-seater, pissing on niggas ego
I don't want to rap no mo', I'm CEO
No mo' menage-a-trois, the full trio
Three ho, get in they mind like Miss Cleo
You know, nigga try a hold like Judo (oh!)
I know a lot of nigga hot about me
I know you niggas ain't forgot about me
I'm a shotter with the O's and the dro
And the blow and the, Jag-o and get the clothes out the sto'
Anyway, I got a bottle of Mo' and X-O
And I'm looking for a modeling ho, so let's go
Get it right, six nights, six flights, six shows (six shows)
Six checks, each one, six oh's (six oh's)
Six broads to choose, they six pros
Light-skinned Asian bitches with pink toes
[Chorus: x2]
Now I done been around the world twice, back again
Whoever thought I'd be twenty times platinum
Whoever thought I'd have jewels but I lack a gem
I done dealt with plenty dimes, but I lack the ten
A New York chick, I met her through the fashion biz
And we be doing them type of things, you can't imagine shit
She be biting and screaming cause she's so passionate
Shorty got blue eyes but she African
African African
[Chorus: x2]
We want to thank all the ladies for coming out tonight
Every one that, you know, open-toed, inch-heel stiletto
Maybe you might have a open-toed sandle
Or maybe you just running to the grocery sto' in your house shoes
with your feet out, girl you looking good
Oh!
There's so many fly girls I've seen
Around the world
I gotta get me a girl (Definitely, ladies please)
I gotta get me a girl (Keep your feet well-taken cure of)
Nikki, Tasha, Kiki and Laverne and Shirl
I gotta get me a girl [Repeat: x3]
