Aw shit hay JB
Yo hu dat hu dat girl is over there
Damn man she cant be a hoe
I don't believe it
Fuck that I'm gona talk to her
Ohhhhweeeeee
Back at him man
Ok t-pain ay ay hay
Man I gotta thang for a girl that I don't even know
Everybody in the hood say she a hoe
But I don't think so Ima try you anyway
I could turn a ho into a housewife any day
It can even go the other way around
Thats because of the pimpin from teddy penderazzdoun
Ok here come the manipulation
I ain't tryin to please her with my money percipertation
Aviona watch and the Aviona(piece!)
Yellow bracelet and the king johnny (teeth!)
I could be like hey miss lady
I got a black and grey Mercedes
I got a Cadillac car and a Cadillac truck
Man why I got the feeling she really don't give a fuck really give fuck
I wanna get to know her
And if I give her the keys to my crib Ima sit her down and show her she can
[hook]
Lay down and let me lay with you
If you stay around then ima stay with you
Ain't no way I'm leavin girl lets talk about it
Come here ima show you how to love somebody
[T-pain]
She a cool super duper down ass bitch
If she was a cup of liquor I would down that bitch like
Dun dun dun dun dun dun duuuun!nappy boy queen
God damn I hadn't crowned that bitch bitch!
2 weeks and we done fell into it
And ain't nobody have to tell her to do it
I'm asking some questions about before me
I had to make sure I knew she wasn't a hoe
She just looking for a nigga that can treat her like damn
Take her to the movies buy her brand new thangs
But niggas treat her like oh!skeet!skrrrrrrrr!
Never heard of em rippin up a phone of em never heard a word from em
But she ain't got to worry bout them niggas
Live life shawty you can do without them niggas
But what can I say?
Tell em kiss your ass cause at the end of the day you gotta place to
[hook]
