Trina Feat. Pamela Long Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Take me to a place where I gotta be sexy
Just so, I can be considered as a lady
Please, tell me why the world is so shady, baby
I wanna go to a world where I ain't gotta be a freak ho
Just, so I can be noticed by people
Please, tell me if you know
Because I wanna go, wanna go, yeah, yeah
Why is it lately?
These jealous hoes gotta hate me
Niggas, won't give me no space
They suffocate me
I try to be myself, niggas, won't let me
They'd rather sweat me
Ice, freeze and briget me
But I ain't impressed with your hot car
Nigga, I ain't got the lock jaws
I ain't fixin' to drop draw's
These niggas, chase me like a cop, cop
In and out the Char' bottle
They wanna ball with a hot star
They offer me grands for one night stands
But fuck that one night plan
I'm looking for that one right man
To save the day, wrap me in his arms
Take me away, late plight
Till the break in the day
Come on
Take me to a place where I gotta be sexy
Just so, I can be considered as a lady
Please, tell me why the world is so shady, baby
I wanna go to a world where I ain't gotta be a freak ho
Just, so I can be noticed by people
Please, tell me if you know
Because I wanna go, wanna go, yeah, yeah
Take me to a place where all my girls on top
Take me to a place where all the Benzes drop top
Take me to a place where I ain't gotta trick for grands
Take me to a place where my friend won't fuck my man
Take me to a place where it's women with no hoes
Take me to a place where the thugs get early parole
Take me to a place where we ball, buying cases
Diamond faces, united with all races
Take me to a place where ain't no chalk traces or court cases
Or black faces on front pages
Take me to a place where the haters don't hate
Take me away, Lord, knows I can't wait, come on
Take me to a place where I gotta be sexy
Just so, I can be considered as a lady
Please, tell me why the world is so shady, baby
I wanna go to a world where I ain't gotta be a freak ho
Just, so I can be noticed by people
Please, tell me if you know
Because I wanna go, wanna go, yeah, yeah
Every day, I gotta let it go
And spend the money on the one way ticket
To a world where shit is better, yo
I be the same but a better ho
And do a version of Nann with Kirk Franklin for the chedda, yo
They'll show my video on VH1, diva week
Me, Whitney then Aretha speak
I be on top of the world and still be a freak
Although I'm doing my thing
I see, I gotta eat 'cause where I'm from
Life ain't sweet
Take me to a place where I gotta be sexy
Just so, I can be considered as a lady
Please, tell me why the world is so shady, baby
I wanna go to a world where I ain't gotta be a freak ho
Just, so I can be noticed by people
Please, tell me if you know
Because I wanna go, wanna go, yeah, yeah
Take me, take me baby
Where I wanna go baby
I don't wanna be a freak ho
No more, more
Take me, take me baby
Where I wanna go baby
I don't wanna be a freak ho
No more, more
Take me to a place where I gotta be sexy
Just so, I can be considered as a lady
Please, tell me why the world is so shady, baby
I wanna go to a world where I ain't gotta be a freak ho
Just, so I can be noticed by people
Please, tell me if you know
Because I wanna go, wanna go, yeah, yeah

Pamela Long can be understood as the desire of Trina, the hip hop artist, to move away from her current life, which is characterized by her being objectified as a "freak ho".

I see, I gotta eat 'cause where I'm from
I must continue to work hard because of my upbringing and background
Life ain't sweet
Life is tough
Take me, take me baby
Please, take me away
Where I wanna go baby
To a place that I desire
I don't wanna be a freak ho
I don't want to be labeled a promiscuous woman
No more, more
I am done with that lifestyle
