Boom Boom Clap (12X)

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Chea...Let's Get It

[Chorus]
First I'm gone stack my flo' (and then what?)
Then I'm gone stack some mo' (and then what?)
Close shop then I do my count, hide the rest of the yams at my auntie house
(and then what?)
Get Fresh and jump in one of dem cars (yeah)
Hit the club and get one of dem broads (and then what?)
It's a wrap, we on the way to the house; by 3:45 I be kickin' her out (heyy)

Patty cake, patty cake, microwave
These suckas make a square, damn I'm paid (ha ha)
I'm so cool, but I'm so hot, and I'm, I'm so fly, and you, you're so not (nope)
Show me what you're workin' wit just like that (like that)
Turn around, bend over, bring it back (bring it back)
Slow Mannie, Mannie Fresh bring it back (bring it back)
It's Mannie Fresh and Snowman, it's a wrap
Wrapped up in the club, yeah I'm so crazy
These other rappers actors like Patrick Swayze (ha ha)
I tried to tell 'em but these niggaz ain't hearin' me
Mossberg Pump ridin' shotgun literally (daaamn)
Live from the projects, you know what it is
Ay, Snowman, (what up), can I get a ad lib?
Get the club crunk, can't take that from me
Ain't dropped yet, still got a lil' jon money

It's a wrap, we on the way to the house; by 3:45 I be kickin' her out (heyy)

I see ya lookin' (ha ha), with ya lookin' ass
Catch Snowman in the kitchen wit his cookin' ass (cheaa)
I'm so clean, but I'm so grindin' (alright), so dirty but yet, I'm so shinin'

Some say I lucked up, I call it perfect timing (yeah)
