Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breaking it off and setting it off in the real way
Making the girls them chill their mind (feel fine)
Making them have a good time
Yeah, man, S Peezy, yo, long side RiRi

Take it to them, take it to them, girl

Break it off, boy, this has got me feeling naughty
I wanna know, boy, if I can be your shorty (most definitely)
Set it off, boy, make me hot all over my body
(Break it off, take it off, no miss take it off)

Struggle and pain wha she fell all de while
And she want a good man fi give her de style
Wild child

It's a long time now me wha plow
Plow de sile meh car run, run like de nile
And de most energy meh whan gi her tonight

Make she fly like a kite that reach a new height
'Cah we give it to de gyal dem

Anytime she want it back she ha fi call (Dutty Paul)
Admittin' it on de spot I know de real (Sean Paul)
