No Diggity
Tyler Ward Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No Diggity
No Diggity
Shorty get down, good Lord
Baby got 'em open all over town

Strictly biz she don't play around
Cover much ground, skin game by the pound
Gettin' paid is her forte
Each and every day, true player way

I can't get her outta my mind
I think about the girl all the time
East side to the west side
Push your phat rides ain't no surprise

She got tricks in the stash
Stacking up the cash fast when it comes to the gas
But by no means average
If only she's got to have it

Baby you're a perfect ten, I wanna get in
Can I get down, so I can win
I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it, bag it up
I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up
I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it, bag it up girl

I like the way you work it
No diggity
She's got class and style
Street knowledge by the pound

Baby never act wild
Very low key on the profile
Catching feelings is a no
Let me tell you how it goes

Curve's the word, spin's the verb
Love as it comes so free what you've heard
Rollin' with the phatness
You don't even know what the half is

You gotta pay to play
Just for shorty bang-bang to look your way
I like the way you work it
Drum tight, all day, everyday

You're blowing my mind, baby in time
Baby I can get you in my ride
I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it, bag it up
I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up
I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up girl

I like the way you work it
No diggity
Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
Hey ho, that girl looks good
Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
Play on, play on, play on
Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
You're my kind of girl




Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
Heyeah yo, hey yo
