Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get your ass on the floor, it's going down!
[Hook]
Come on baby power up with me
I just popped me an ecstasy
Come on baby power up with me
We shocking and a rocking to this melody
One, two, ready or not
Everybody's about to drop(about to drop 5x)

Uh huh three, four, five, six
If you don't know girl work them hips(work them hips 5x)
Uh huh seven, eight, nine, ten
If its kicking in well then you spin(then you spin 5x)spin baby

[Verse 1]
Um hold up, I'ma peel it, in pilly billy
When I shoot two shops holla mayday mayday
Today was payday and Dirty Third went nationwide
Clover in my light got my jaws real tight
Now uh, seein shit twice
Yo it just kicked in I'm drinking O-J on ice
Do-do intensifies the feeling
And have me willing
To go to game spitting
At the baddest [?] bitches
May I mention, I feel like I can fly
A magic old Southern night
Trying to bring Sprite to some ho like
I ain't searching for no broad
But what it do tonight
Here's a pill for your troubles
Uh huh ho's like What up

[Verse 2]
You see how a nigga be moving so slow mo
On a double-stack XO
About to snatch the next ho
Don't act like you weren't struck when I entered the do'
Lit the fuck up, lighted like a light show
[?] and cranberry with my pilly kicking in
Bout to hit the dance flo [?]
It's on, playa give me ninety feet
Cause if you give me fifty feet
You gon still be in my reach
You feel me peeps?
My mouth be so cold
Uh, when I'm on XO

[Hook 1x]

I'm on three blue knights
I'm on three blue knights
We wreck this on three tool-as
We wreck this on three tool-as
And we fly like a kite
And we fly like a kite

[Verse 3]
Ain't it right tonight's the night
Me and Derete' fight
Washed it down with O-J on ice
""Ey yo Easy how you feeling my friend?""
I'm feeling like we gotta grab gin and a twin
""D reezie how you feeling my nigga?""
I'm explesive want to make a porno flick
Now get naked
I let it roll out and I don't pull a stunt
I hit it from the back while I hit it from the front I give you them things
What did you say ""Angela I got stamana
For her and Pamela""

I ain't greety I ain't needy
But both of us together make it twice as sleazy
