Drop to the floor, it's nothing
It's scraping on the floor

Back it, back it up and gimme some more
It's in the, I, I bring it down low
And get low, with it
Low, with it
Get up
Go get it
Move your body real slow with it
Get up
Slow with it

Get up
Go get it
I wanna get it good, better fly boy chillin' over there
I wonder if he noticed that I want him over here
I see him watching hers, so I shake my diaryere
I dropped it down low, I put my booty in the air
And I'm a rock star so you know I don't care
Till I fly girl shit, with fly girl hair
And I'm so sick of the aerish chair
I'm a hot girl, don't white girl share
I drop to the floor, it's nothing
I drop to the floor, it's nothing
It's scraping on the floor

Back it, back it up and gimme some more
As in, I, I bring it down low

And I hope I got time to be joking
Boys in the back, must smoking
It's in the this holla, on the dance floor roastin'
And fake chicks in my face keep posing
I'm lookin' at him real smooth like cool whip
He lookin' at me like "Girl, how you do this?"
I brought my hips real slow we can do it
It's ghetto rough girl, go music
I drop to the floor, it's nothing
Drop to the floor, it's nothing
It's scraping on the floor

Hurry up, I don't waste time
