Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She love me up and lay me down,
She love me up and lay me down,
She gimme up, I love it when she lay me down!
Do it baby stick it baby
Do it baby stick it baby
Do it baby stick it
I stick it baby do it
Do it baby stick it baby
Do it baby stick it baby

I said, get right, but you know what I got,
Got them fixing up they make up when I walk up in the spot.
Got they, eye shadow with their lips is all shine,
With a smile on my face, when her lips on mine,
See I'm a big freak, feed a big pita
Beat that pussy up so good, she don't want me to eat her
First I meet her then I feed her
Whatever she needs
A few of these turn a nigger wifey into a cheater,
Keep her!
Head down and your ass up here,
Got her hair fucked up and the lipstick smeared
Take a city bitch or a bitch from the boonies
With a man at the crib, but he don't know what he doing,
Truthfully she knew she do me, but she knew me,
Introduce me then she blew me, then she didn't nothin' to me
You don't like it then sue me
She my my biggest fan now,
When I spend a day in town,
She hurry up and lay me down.
Damn!
She love me up and lay me down,
Hey what she do?
She love me up and lay me down,
Hey what she do?
She love me up and lay me down,
She get me up,
She love me up and lay me down,
Do it baby stick it baby
Do it baby stick it baby
Do it baby stick it
I stick it baby do it
Do it baby stick it baby
Do it baby stick it baby
Do it baby stick it baby

On the hush hush, keep it low key
Attitude in check, cause you with a O.G.
Got the bank on lock, wanna see the door key?
Got dope dick, give it to her 'til she O.D.
I'ma put it in her life,
Give her what she misses,
Is she's a wife or she of limits?
Well that is unless you slippin'
And I catch her own mission in my hotel lobby,
Trying to run into somebody end up at the after party,
With a stripper body,
Itty bitty waist,
Big ol' booty beggin' me to decorate her pretty face, hey
Hey, what can I say?
She requested then I deliver,
Broad lookin' for that rod,
Shawty I'm that nigga

Full of Remi, high, sober
You catch me in your city, lick me up, I been you over
Women want me and niggers think its the money,
But she should be paying me tho
This good dick she getting from me, from me
