Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Bridge]
Paris to Japan
Pierre Cardin
And the girls go
Yeah, the fly girls go, yeah

[Chorus]
You can find us sitting pretty, high sadiddy running our city
Me and my girls , a couple of fly misses
You can't quite figure us out cause we on that
Whatchamacallit ca call it, call it ca call it call it [Repeat: x2]
Whatchamacallit

See the bag it match the boots, and the boots they match the hat
So I pop the tag don't ask me where I bought that at girl
We can be up in the club in the spotlight catch us rocking the same 'fit
I got mine on Sunset strip from that hot spot from um whatchamacallit

And don't be asking about my man, what he's holding in his pants
Don't you give them tricks no info that's a no no baby
Next thing you know she wanna know what what he's holding in his wallet
How long he last, slow or fast, how big is his um whatchamacallit

[Chorus: x2]

Caught him eying my chain, he said its so unique
He trying to get with me, so his chick can get like me
I said even the time on my hand cost me an arm and a leg
Can't find this in the states, had it flown in from Madrid

He wanna know who does my hair, clientele is so elite
I'm in love with his technique, he keeps me sheik they call him
The contact is under wraps matter fact he's unavailable
Don't need the traffic backed up when I go back to get my pretty on

[Chorus: x2]

[Bridge: x2]
