T-Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm 'bout to pull over and give you the business, holla at me
(Ooo)
Can I get a witness?
Now, here we go
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Here we go
Mmm, mmm, mmm
[T-Pain]
Baby, I've been waitin' for you to come home
'Cause I done cleared off the backseat, cleaned the top and out some new twenty-fours on the Brome
Lately, I've been waitin' to try somethin' new
'Cause we done did every last one of your fantasies
But we ain't did nothin' I wanna do
'Cause we done did in in the elevator (been there, done that)
Now it's time to do it my way (I know you want that)
And pullin' your hair won't even compare to what I'm 'bout to do to you on this highway
[Chorus:]
(I'm talkin' 'bout that) backseat action (oh)
Out in the middle of the traffic (oh)
I'm 'bout to pull over, and give you the business
Holla at me (ooo), can I get a witness?
Now here we go
[Shawnna (T-Pain)]
Here we go, back and forth (mmmm), break it down, or take it slow (mmmm)
Take control, make it roll (mmmm), break it down, now here we go (here we go)
Here we go, back and forth (mmmm), break it down, or take it slow (mmmm)
Take control, make it roll (mmmm), break it down, now here we go
[T-Pain]
Shawty, you can call me whenever you need
Workin' in the Excursion, kissin' in the Expedition, like yes indeed
Baby, it's all gravy; it's all good
'Cause we gon' need to open up the back door and let your legs out
Or I'm a put you right on the hood
Up and down like an elevator (been there, done that)
I know you like to do it my way (I know you want that)
And pullin' your hair won't even compare to what I'm 'bout to do to you on this highway
[Chorus]
[Shawnna (T-Pain)]
Here we go, back and forth (mmmm), break it down, or take it slow (mmmm)
Take control, make it roll (mmmm), break it down, now here we go (here we go)
Here we go, back and forth (mmmm), break it down, or take it slow (mmmm)
Take control, make it roll (mmmm), break it down, now here we go
[Shawnna]
Face down, ass up, that's the way I like it - rough
Cloud it up, back it up, driver's seat to the passenger
Back to the back, all in the act
Smack, smack, smack, smack
Shawnna like that that ghetto peel
Hands on the window, foot on the wheel
Face in the seat, wait for the beat
Rockin' and rockin' and makin' in squeek
Stop, stop, stop, stop
What you gon' do? Somebody might see
So make it fast, take it slow
Break it down, and make it roll
Take control, make it swole
Now one more time, here we go
[Chorus]
[Shawnna (T-Pain)]
Here we go, back and forth (mmmm), break it down, or take it slow (mmmm)
Take control, make it roll (mmmm), break it down, now here we go (here we go)
Here we go, back and forth (mmmm), break it down, or take it slow (mmmm)
Take control, make it roll (mmmm), break it down, now here we go
The lyrics to T-Pain's song Backseat Action describe a sexual encounter that takes place in the backseat of a car. T-Pain sets the scene for the event by describing how he's been waiting for his partner to come home and cleaning up the backseat of his car, putting new wheels on it for the occasion. He then expresses a desire to try something new, something that he hasn't done before with his partner. He promises to do something that will outdo anything they've done before, even compared to pulling her hair (which has been done in the past).
The chorus emphasizes the intensity of the encounter, explicitly mentioning "backseat action" and taking place in "the middle of the traffic". Shawnna then provides some additional explicit details about the activity, emphasizing the roughness of it and the different positions they will be trying. She guides her partner through the steps of what they should be doing, telling him to "take control" and "make it roll". They repeat the chorus multiple times, emphasizing the excitement of the experience.
