Last night me n my dawgs were hanging out
Tired of being cramped up in the house
We were simply celebrating life
Off from work today so it's alright

But all those ups n downs had me in a twist
Started dancing wit this model chick
And then every record became my favorite song
And that is all that I remember

'Cause I had one too many drinks
And ended up at the embassy
With this pretty little thing from Memphis, Tennessee
It was a one night extravaganza

When I woke up from last night's favorite
Baby girl was layin' next to me
Shoes n clothes were scattered everywhere
I got dressed n got up out of there

But not before I called a cab
Hung over from all the drinks I had
And now I'm telling my story to you
Everything that I remember

I had one too many drinks
And ended up at the embassy
With this pretty little thing from Memphis, Tennessee
It was a one night extravaganza

Extravanganzaaa
Extravavganzaaa
Only was an extravaganza
Yes it was the things that I remember

And I remember bein' at da bar tryna ask what dat hypno hit fo' (hit fo')
Knowin' I can't afford to get mo' (get mo')
Here's a broke nigga trick buy one bottle and sip slow
Or, or leave the club now come back when you get dough

A fishstick niggah now we messin' wit lobster
We messin' wit grammies we messin' wit oscars
We messin' wit dat dranky drank
Plus you puffin on da stanky stank

In the mornin' you goin' draw a blank
The hotel say ya was ours
My girl wasn't on shit I picked the wrong one
'Stead he talkin bout I ain't like them other girls

Well tonight I'm tryin' find them other girls
Bring they own rubba girl
Never meet ya motha girl
You know they love it when you love 'em when they tell they friends girl

I had one too many drinks (that's BSP baby, we got black star power in the room right now)
And ended up at the embassy (easy, easy, be very easy)
With this pretty little thing from Memphis, Tennessee (calm down please)
It was a one night extravaganza (I ain't see da periods)
I had one too many drinks
