Yeah,
Yeah its official
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Hey ziggy I told them niggas (oh yeah)
They wouldn't believe me tho
I do this shit though
Its 3:45 she pulled up to my house
Grabbed my strap, got the door
With a blunt in my mouth
Say I'm bout to put the smack down
You know i'll put the smack down
And now I put the smack down
She park in the background
Look at me I'm standing tall
She knows how to keep it up
We just left the club
So you know we both drunk as fuck
30 min in, second wind
Call it cardio
I go up and down round and round super Mario!
Oh wee oh wee she busting like a Uzi
I'm riding that Suzuki
She wetting such a jacuzzi
Call it in, code 10
Get ready for the water flow
Number 16 terr it up
[Chorus: Trey Songz]
What can I say (i ain't lying)
Ain't no easy way to say this (yeah)
And I don't know if you can handle it (I don't know if you can handle it)
But I'm thinking about taking it ((taking it there))
Cause thats the only way you ain't get it (and you)
You lay around with them boys up town (laying around)
And I've been thinking about it all day long (all day long shawty)
And that two think I cant handle it ((but her)
But I'm think I might end up taking it
[Verse 2: Young Jeezy]
I'm thinking about it, then by receiving
She can get it right back up , just give her a reason
Any given season winter, spring, summer, fall
I came to see the show baby goin' and make the water fall
She know I'm the one to call when she want that good shit
She know I'm the one to call when she wants the hood shit
Baby looking all good about to meet her all hood
Jump her in the call yea you know the handle all wood
I stepped up in the spot (spot) yea smelling like a pound
Yea you know I'm taking name, yea ain't got to take em down
Yea ain't got to take em off for me, over aggressive
About to be an accident just call for progressive
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Young Jeezy]
I don't know if you can handle this, know if you can handle me
First I'm gonna start right here where your man should be
I don't know if you can handle this, know if you can handle young
If you ain't never had a real nigga, better get you one
Come through on some thug shit (thug shit)
Gotta respect shit
Yea I come through on some thug shit (thug shit)
Gotta accept it
She know that I'm never shy most time we probably high
Kid licked the kitty cat you goin' need an alibi
[Chorus]
And how you doing jeezy [Repeat: x3]
In Young Jeezy's song Takin' It There, the singer narrates his sexual encounter with a woman who pulled up to his house at 3:45 am. As the verse progresses, he describes how the two of them left the club drunk and headed to his place, where they engage in sexual activity, and he proves his skills in "putting the smack down." Seeking his own satisfaction, he contemplates taking their intimacy to the next level, which he might not know if she can handle. Jeezy tells her that he's thinking about taking it there, which means that he wants to initiate a sexual act that he's unsure the woman can handle. The offer is not solely sexual, but Jeezy suggests that she is aware that he can provide her with 'the good,' or financially stable life. However, she is equally aware he is a drug dealer, which is why he says, "She knows I'm the one to call when she wants that good shit," implying that she may want drugs from time to time.
The second verse follows up with Jeezy's experience with the woman. He reveals that he is impressed that she can perform, bouncy up and down for 30 minutes non-stop, making him aware of his limits, "I go up and down, round and round, super Mario!" Also, he acknowledges that for whatever reason, she may need to call on him now and then as a "real" man who knows how to handle the "hood" things. He's all about the "thug" life and the woman he's interested in is aware that he's got very close relationships with gangs, and he's the kind of man who doesn't take things easy. The bridge attached to the chorus is sung by Trey Songz, which asks the woman if she's ready to take their relationship to the next level. The chorus repeats the line, pledging that he's thinking about it, an indication in the song that the singer plans to escalate his sexual activities with the woman.
