And what I need is simple, five-foot-five with dimples
Describing the physical qualities desired in a partner

And potential wife credentials
Seeking a partner who is suitable for a long-term commitment

Know about the life I'm into, life I've been through
Wanting someone who understands and accepts the person's past experiences

And how I had a triflin' mental
Acknowledging previous shortcomings or negative mindset

So ride with me, G4, fly with me
Inviting the person to join on a luxurious and adventurous journey

Times get hard, cry with me, die with me
Expressing the need for emotional support and loyalty

White beach sands, lie with me
Longing for intimate moments together on a beautiful beach

My advice is forget the limelight
Suggesting to prioritize the relationship over fame or attention

Let's make love while we listen to Frank White
Proposing to have intimate moments while enjoying music by Frank White (Notorious B.I.G.)

Been a whole day now, I wanna lay 'round
Expressing the longing for relaxation and intimacy after a day spent apart

And sip colada, dipped in Prada
Indulging in luxury and enjoying high-end fashion

I'm smooth as Erik Estrada, dipped in dollars
Referring to being charming and well-off financially

We out in Vegas, Nevada, bubble bath in the champagne glass
Portraying a lavish lifestyle and enjoying luxurious experiences

'Bout the size of a campaign ad
Comparing the bubble bath to a large promotional advertisement

You don't know how you look to me
Expressing admiration for the person's appearance

But if love was a crime, you's a crook to me
Viewing the person as irresistible and captivating

'Cause mommy, I've done been around the world, seen a lot of places
Highlighting the person's attractiveness amidst their own experiences

Been around your girl, believe I read faces
Suggesting the ability to understand others through observation

I can tell she don't want me prevail
Recognizing that someone else may not want the person to succeed

But I, learned my lesson watchin' Sean stressin'
Referencing P Diddy's experiences and learning from his past mistakes

So why listen to her and start guessin'?
Questioning the logic in listening to someone who may try to cause doubt

Mommy, you ain't ready to ride, then start dressin'
Encouraging the person to prepare themselves for a serious relationship
