Freaknik's back baby!
What's happen mo' you know who I is
Is Freaknizzle come to turn the party up to ten
I know ya heard me, freaks give word of me
And get wetter than blueberry vodka most certainly
I heard you throwing a party and did not invite me
(Didn't invite me?)
Plus I heard your shit wasn't exciting
Just a buncha bitch pulling hair fighting
(Fighting)
I see so much potential
Even though this area is a residential
Turn up the radio put on an instrumental
Party 101 pick up a motherfucking pencil
I'm back bitch
Like that bitch
Yea ain't gotta had no bread nigga just act rich
This ain't no fucking party over here
So let me throw this motherfucking money in the air
(Turn it up)
Freaknik's back in town so
(Turn it up)
Bitches and hoes goin' get down so
(Turn it up)
Bitch ass niggas take off that do-rag
Twenty four and four twelves in my new Lac'
The lyrics to T-Pain's "Freaknik" talk about the artist's return to the music scene and his desire to bring back the spirit of Freaknik.

In the first verse of the song, T-Pain introduces himself as Freaknizzle, and he promises to turn the party up to ten. He knows that people are excited to see him, and he confidently declares that even the mere mention of his name makes people wetter than blueberry vodka. Next, T-Pain confronts a person who did not invite him to their party. He disses the party for being boring and filled with fighting girls. Lastly, he encourages people to set up their parties properly and turn up the radio, even if they are in a residential area.
The second verse is a continuation of T-Pain's confidence and bravado as he asserts his return to the music scene. He brags about throwing money in the air and tells listeners to turn up the music. He encourages women to dance and have a good time while telling men to take off their do-rags. He finishes the verse by talking about his car, which is outfitted with intense subwoofers.
Overall, T-Pain's "Freaknik" is a tribute to the once-vibrant, boisterous party scene of the 1990s. It is a form of cultural remembrance to an era that many people enjoyed.
