Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause your hair is goin' need fixin' yeahh
Call Latisha, your beautician yeah
Uh uh uh yeah

She playin' hard but I know I got her shook
Oh baby take it from me

Purse, shirt, skirt, yeah shawty take it off
Necklace, my white tee, my Nike's
Shawty I'ma take it off
She just got her hair did
But you know I can't stop it
And right after we're finished I'm goin' get your shit fixed
Sweat it out, sweat it out, sweat it out
Oh
Goin' sweat it out, sweat it out, sweat it out
Oh
Girl let's sweat it out, sweat it out, sweat it out
Oh
Let's sweat it out, sweat it out, sweat it out
(Verse two!)
We're trading affection as I mess up her bang
Hair everywhere all in her face (all in her face)
Didn't mean to mess up a good thing
But I needed you babe
Don't be mad at me (uh)
You should've got braids
Sing it to me now
Purse, skirt, shirt, I'm glad that you took it off
Necklace, white tee, my nike's, I couldn't wait to take it off
I know you got your hair did
But you know I couldn't stop it

Girl I can't wait
To be doctor on your body
That's what up and I know that it's intentional
She got it fixed just so I can fuck it up
(So put it on me right (yeah)
You know you ain't right (yeah)
Girl ill whip it whip it, flip it flip it (yeah)
Get it, get it, rock with it
Oh, oh get it, get it, rock with it
You know I'll make you ass (sweat it out)
Thank you for the birthday cake (sweat it out)
Look at you looking like a milkshake (sweat it out)
So go on about your day (sweat it out)
And hit me up when I could milk that thing
(Sweat it out)
The Dream's song Sweat It Out starts with a verse about a girl who needs her hair fixed, so the singer suggests calling Latisha, her beautician. The singer then goes on to talk about how he can read her like an open book and that she is playing hard to get but he knows he has her hooked. In the chorus, the singer encourages the girl to “sweat it out,” which is taken to mean that they should have sex, as their body sweat will be a sign of the intensity of the passion between them.
In the second verse, the singer messes up the girl's bangs while they are hooking up, and she gets angry at him. However, he tells her that it's not a big deal, and she should have gotten braids. They then hook up again, and the song ends with the singer telling the girl that he knows she likes the love they make.
