Strike
Nikki Flores Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rollin in my ride I saw my brother's girl Christina
She said that there gonna be a party down at Misty's later
Felling lonely down and so confused I told her meet me there by two
So I pulled up at the party jeans all painted on
Escada pumps Gucci hat got my cellular
Then I saw him he was too damn fine I knew I had to make him mine

So here's the deal
Yeah my baby keeps it real
He knows exactly how I feel
Yes I'm in love
He's a roughneck with a bad boy independence
Fly yeah he gives me such a high
I ain't got nothing left to hide
He knows what he's got
Strike while the iron's hot

Sat with my girls looking straight over at his direction
Party was bumpin yeah he got me feeling our connection
Caught my eye as he passed me by and asked me how I'm doing tonight
My heart was racing couldn't see nobody else but him
As he moved closer he began to make me weak inside
But then I knew boy that it was you
You knew exactly what to do

So here's the deal
Yeah my baby keeps it real
He knows exactly how I feel
Yes I'm in love
He's a roughneck with a bad boy independence
Fly yeah he gives me such a high
I ain't got nothing left to hide
He knows what he's got
Strike while the iron's hot

He tells me "que vistoso, un diezmo"
Asi es como mi amor me dice que me quiere
"que vistoso, un diezmo, baya"
That's how my baby tell me that he love me
"que vistoso, un diezmo"
Asi es como mi amor me dice que me quiere
"que vistoso, un diezmo"
Strike while the iron's hot

So here's the deal
Yeah my baby keeps it real
He knows exactly how I feel
Yes I'm in love
He's a roughneck with a bad boy independence
Fly yeah he gives me such a high
I ain't got nothing left to hide
He knows what he's got
Strike while the iron's hot

So here's the deal
Yeah my baby keeps it real
He knows exactly how I feel
Yes I'm in love
He's a roughneck with a bad boy independence
Fly yeah he gives me such a high
I ain't got nothing left to hide




He knows what he's got
Strike while the iron's hot
