Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, and it goes, and it goes
And it goes a lil' something like this: HIT IT!
Yeah, that's it
[Taj]
Ahh, SWV's definitely in the house for the Nineties
Definitely coming on strong, so step to the left
Just to make room for the best

[Lelee]
Well we got Coko on the left
We got Taj on the right
We got Me in the middle
[Taj]
So, get up tonight!
[Coko]
Everytime I perform, it's the same old thing
I make ya man's [dick] hard with the way I sing
'Cause it's the see-to the-O-to the-K-to the-O
Go for what you know, Ho, 'cause I'm COKO!
Puttin' all you phony singing females in check
I'm down with SWV, and I'ma come correct
A lot of people tried to diss me, but that's okay
Because now I got a record deal with RCA
Yeah, I got it going on, and you know it's a fact
That I perform live now, with no tracks
'Cause you know I can sing, yes I can create
And if you try to step to me, I'll set ya ass straight
Tall, dark and lovely, dangerous and attack you
I cannot wait to sing all over you and your wack crew
So don't act dumb like you don't know what time it is
Step to SWV, and you're bound to get JACKED!
[Taj]

They don’t make groups like this anymore! Glad I got to experience SWV, definitely added some joy to my life’s journey.

You don’t realize how much time has passed by until, you hear songs from the late 80’s or 90’s. And Micheal voice brings this song together. Almost brought tears to my eyes.
