Hey yo 'kon
We keep givin it to them every day my nig
We got another one?
Here we go,
Ahhh shit here we go again,
I'm lookin' at you but I'm seein' your friends,
Her astronauts takin' up my space, yo,
I'm about to launch my rocket,
Take off your clothes and reach in my pocket,
Grab the controller, similar to wii,
It's a game and imma let you beat me
(Akon)
Shawty's body's like an hourglass, thats no lie,
You know if she bring it to me the cash bout to fly, man,
I'm so ready for her, I wanna throw it so fast,
But I just wait to show her the blast,
(Chorus)
Love the way you make that body bounce,
Lovin' how you work it,
Love the way you make that body bounce,
Lovin' how you work it,
Love the way you make that body bounce,
Lovin' how you work it,
I love the way you make that body bounce,
Lovin' how you work it,
Work it, work it
(Kardinal)
Bounce, twerk,
Show me a little work,
Imma take them calories off with that shirt,
Look how you bouncin',
All of the sudden I think how many men try to climb that mountain,
Them heals you got is no joke, even Akon might go broke,
Spendin' them ones, throwin' them twenties,
? throwin' up centuries,
That's the body of the century,
You a little insecure but baby you got plenty,
Them stretch marks on your hips is just bungie cords bringin' you back when you dip,
I read your lips, my gang stay literate,
I ain't scared, not a little bit,
Gotta let you know, your worth about a million ?,
Now just bounce
(Chorus)
Love the way you make that body bounce,
Lovin' how you work it,
Love the way you make that body bounce,
Lovin' how you work it,
Love the way you make that body bounce,
Lovin' how you work it,
I love the way you make that body bounce,
Lovin' how you work it,
Work it, work it
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da (I wanna see you bounce, I wanna see you bounce)
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da (I wanna see you bounce, I wanna see you bounce)

Then it's game over, act like you older,
Either we bouncin' right now, or your dirt off the shoulder,
So extra, mr. material,
Lemme feel on your birthday suit texture,
So resilient,
I like how on the inside its like a wetsuit, brilliant,
Water resistant up to 9 inches,
Wrap that let me open it up like Christmas,
I'm about the same height as ?,
Keep on your heels, lets get down to business,
No gym but i'm seein' your fitness,
With my eyes closed you pose as a witness,
Everywhere the body language you pronounce
(Chorus)
Love the way you make that body bounce,
Lovin' how you work it,
Love the way you make that body bounce,
Lovin' how you work it,
Love the way you make that body bounce,
Lovin' how you work it,
I love the way you make that body bounce,
Lovin' how you work it,
Work it, work it
(Akon)
Just show me how you do it baby,
Just let me see,
Thinkin' how you dippin' so amazing in front of me,
The song "Body Bounce" by Akon feat. Kardinal Offishall is a provocative and sexual track about the admiration of a woman's body. There's a playfulness in the lyrics that is complemented by the upbeat and energetic melody, making this a song that is bound to get people out on the dance floor. The first verse, delivered by Kardinal Offishall, is all about the physical attraction to a woman and her friends. He describes his attraction and the desires he has for her. He even uses crude sexual innuendos with references to astronauts and rockets to illustrate his intentions towards her.
The second verse, sung by Akon, takes on a slightly softer tone. He praises the woman’s perfectly shaped body and hints at his willingness to spend money on her. However, he remains patient and waits for the right moment to show her how much he desires her. The chorus repeats the lyrics of the song's title, "Love the way you make that body bounce, lovin' how you work it," emphasizing the main point of the song’s desire and admiration for a woman’s body, particularly her bouncing curves.
Overall, the song is a testament to the power and beauty of a woman’s body, particularly in the context of dance and music. The lyrics are flirtatious and engaging, making it a great track for the dance floor or a party.

I was surprised this only has 6 million hits on Spotify. It was playing on the radio all the time back day. Probably only played in Canada cause K.O. is Canadian and they needed songs like this for CanCon...
