[English]

Yeah baby girl

you know how its going down

2003, Do or Die, JP, Twista,

still

When I heard a knock at the door must've been a girl that I met on the low

she real thick nice shape at 5'4

had a few here so we head for the show

afterward we hit the mo' mo' mo'

yes they click in the expo

I'm city sharp I buy the minks to the floor

damn natural never walk from the store

gimme a minute and get down with a pro

p-i-m-p o

get a few friends like a party for sure

we can hit a tune like my homie DeBo

all in the mall buyin' avirex

we can sport chrome that say s-e-x

platinum link all in effect

I can pick heads but I'm a match for a check

in the truck though so I can hop in the Lex'

baby got back but I'm tryin' to relax

p-l-a-y-e-r give 'em the eyes then we head to the bar

I never give 'em money 'cause they know they a star

do you wanna ride in my car?

Do you?

Do you?

Do you?

20's, Sprewells like Jordans on the Escalade

got a pound of dro girl if you wanna blaze

you can let your hair down while the a.c. blow

before you get in I just need to know

Do you?

Do you? (Do you?)

I'll keep it on the low

Do you?

Do you?

In the mood like yes y'all

rather be let it test y'all

light the 'b' if it's special

can I undress to relax y'all, well

stretch out like a Lex' broad

if it's that raw

to the chests with the Remy

like a slug with your vest off

let me touch it if it's that soft

and relieving in the menopause

I can't believe how they sent 'em off

took the number then I'm in the mall

been grinning 'bout to spend 'em all

just ballin'

shot-shot-callin'

holla at my dog while they sippin alcohol

really want to kick it but they all just stallin'

six dime pieces checkin' out my pausin'

they lookin' like "ooh he flossin'"

baby girl I don't do this often

in the five-double-oh for sure

but still ride a Cadillac slam the doors

suppose I kick back keep the flows

dressed to impress then flex the hoes

check the dough, do you?

and it really don't matter where we go

go sip this Hennesey and pop the smoke

before I split with you I just need to know can I

do you?

and it really don't matter where we go

go sip this Hennesey and pop the smoke

before I split with you I just need to know can I

do you?

now I was geekin' when I met you in the club

I be feelin' on your booty

and my brother was a fifty-ball

for you I even po' you Cristy in the tub

and my body was still rumblin'

wonderin' if I'ma get the draws

let me know if I'm in the right lane

tell me when I say the right things

I got tight flame rollin'

through Stone why are you runnin'

'cause I'm comin' with a pimp-tight game

ice-out charms chromed-out truck

comin' through all a nigga don't really give a fuck

blowin' the 'b' with the windows up

when I'm sippin' on Hennesey and hypnotic gettin' stuck

and I need a girl to care for me

while haters be attackin' me

backin' me to a corner while a brother tryin' to get third

and I need a queen backin' me

while I run up on my faculty

tellin' me I believe it when I spit words

hit herb

hold it in then blow it out

do you like the way I flow it out

I'll never act funny or petty with the money when I throw it out

do you like how I talk

do you like the way I ride

do you like the way I pimp free

you can let me down easy

'cause still I be the playa that's the flashy P-I-M-P

now baby do you?

20's, Sprewells like Jordans on the Escalade

got a pound of dro girl if you wanna blaze

you can let your hair down while the a.c. blow

before you get in I just need to know
