(haha)
Oh Who (cant stop what ya can't see nigga yes sir, DSL)
Who (L.O.X)
Oh oh (radio killer)
Oh Who (the R&B thriller)
Oh (I see y'all jocking Dream now)
Oh oh (I see y'all rapping ass niggas)
Oh baby stop what ya doing
And bring your little body up up in this bed
Oh oh oh oh no
Have you ever had somebody
Do it to you while they were playing with your head
Oh oh oh oh no
You want it from the front or the back
On your side just relax
And let me lay between your legs
Oh oh
I see ya running like a track meet
With your baton saying catch me
Baby don't be scared (don't be scared)
I'm all up on you like a monster truck
I'm all up on you like shorty what's up
I'm all up on you like a white tee on a thug
If you can hear me baby put your hands up
And when they ask about me
You say (put it down [Repeat: x5])
When they say
Does he make that horn go beep?
You say (put it down [Repeat: x5])
Is he any good from the back?
You say Put it down [Repeat: x5]
Well what about this-a-way you say
Put it down [Repeat: x5]
Who
Well if they ask you can I sing like Usher
Say No
But I could make you sing like Mariah
Oh
If they ask you do I dance like Chris?
Tell them No
But as much rubbing as we do I could start a fire
Hey, bring the water
We, sweating out the sheets
Shorty bring that body back to me
Shorty round after round it's going down
Call me I lead the way I'll knock your ass down
Now I'm all up on you like a monster truck
I'm all up on you like Shorty what's up
I'm all up on you like a white tee on a thug
If you can hear me baby put your hands up
And when they ask about me you say
You say (put it down [Repeat: x5])
Make that horn go beep
You say (put it down [Repeat: x5])
Is he any good from the back? You said
Put it down [Repeat: x5]
Well what about this way you say
Put it down [Repeat: x5]
A-T-L-A-N-T-A G-A- that's where I stay
I get my mother fucking freak on like every day
I if I invite you to my house it ain't just to say hi
It's like I took candy from a baby the way you crying
You fine, you sigh,
Never had nobody put it on your ass like that
But still put a tone and bring it right back
That's what ya want I know you like that
She's on a high what ya think about that
I love you girl
I loved your girl she's screaming (fuck that nigga)
And when they ask about me you say
You say (put it down [Repeat: x5])
When they say
Does he make that horn go beep
You say (put it down [Repeat: x5])
Is he any good from the back?
You say Put it down [Repeat: x5]
Well what about this way you say
Put it down [Repeat: x5]
