for all the ladies in the place with style and grace
with firm breast, round ass and a classic face
high class with taste, who gives head after dates
suck me dry each time and not gets out of shape
she's never out of cake, plus she loves to grind
loves how the studs just shine, she must be mine
if possibly you must leave with us
and though we keep freaks with us
ma, you're the type of dime piece a freak needs to crush
damn girl, you're flirty, you tease too much
stop fronting, i'm the one you need to touch
so if you see what's up, grab your things lets go
best know you get to test just how the best roll
see my neck's cold, yeah it's flooded with ice
wrist watch frozen, so we fucking tonight? right...
chorus:
throw ur hands in the air
and dance like you just don't care
and if you're drinking em things
let me hear you say oohh yeah...

and partly like you just don't care
and if you're feeling this sshhh...

I am your true shepherd
I am the one who will guide and protect you
I will lead you there
I will take you where you need to go
Beside still waters
We will find peace and tranquility
Come and meet me in the middle of the air
Join me in a spiritual journey
I will meet you in the middle of the air
I will be there for you
I will lay you down
I will give you rest
In pastures green and fair
I will provide for you
Every soul shall be restored
Everyone will be renewed
Through the lonesome valley
Even in difficult times
My rod and staff you'll bear
I will guide and protect you
Fear not death's dark shadow
Do not be afraid of death
With oil I shall anoint you
I will bless and honor you
A table shall I prepare
I will provide for your needs
Your cup will runneth over
You will be abundantly blessed
In my house you'll dwell forever
You will always have a place with me
You shall not want for care
You will have everything you need
Surely goodness and mercy will follow you
You will always experience love and kindness
Come and meet me in the middle of the air
Join me in a spiritual journey
