Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like Tanisha, doin' it for the people
Nobody do it like she do, everythin' tight and see-through
Now pump that, now pump that
Now pump that, now pump that (pump that)
Now pump that, now pump that (yeah)
Now pump that, now pump that
But she don't mind gettin' down either (yeah)
Long as you got sativa
Now pump that, now pump that
Now pump that, now pump that
Now pump that, now pump that (pump that)
Now pump that, now pump that (pump that)
Let's not go back and forth, she's what I need (back and forth)
Throwing it back with force, lightning speed
Eyes on your text that said, "WYA" (yeah, WYA)
All of 'em love us but, babe, I'm awake (awake)
Like Tanisha, doin' it for the people
Nobody do it like she do, everythin' tight and see-through
Now pump that, now pump that
Now pump that, now pump that (pump that)
Now pump that, now pump that (yeah)
Now pump that, now pump that
Tanisha, she like Matsuhisa (yeah)
But she don't mind gettin' down either (yeah)
Long as you got sativa
Now pump that, now pump that
Now pump that, now pump that
Now pump that, now pump that (pump that, yeah)
Now pump that (yeah, yeah) now pump that (pump that, ayy)
Pump that, boomerang, you got that comeback (woo)

All eyes on you, go crazy (go crazy)

If we leave together, they gon' assume you my baby (my baby)
Two-hundred on the dash, no Stacey (no Stacey)
Let me take you to a private location (location)
Or we can do it outside in the back of the Benz (go crazy)
While we listen to the radio
Like Tanisha, doin' it for the people
Nobody do it like she do, everythin' tight and see-through
Now pump that, now pump that
