(I get around) Aww, Yeah (Round and Round) (Round it go) I Get Around Still clown with tha Underground When we come around (Round and Round) (Round it go) Stronger than ever Back to get wreck, All respect to those who break they neck To keep they hos in check 'Cause, hos, they sweat a brotha majorly and I don't know why, your girl keeps paging me. She tell me that she needs me Cries when she leaves me And every time she sees me, she squeeze me. Lady take it easy Hate to sound sleazy, but tease me, I don't want it if it's that easy. Ehh yo bus' it, baby got a problem saying bye bye Just another hazard of a fly guy. You ask why, it don't matter My pockets got fatter, Now everybody's looking for the ladder. And ain't no need in be greedy, If you want to see me Try a beeper number baby when you need me And I'll be there in a jiffy Don't be picky. Just be happy with this quicky But when you learn, you can't tie me down Baby doll, check it out I get around Whatcha mean, ya don't know (Round and round) (Round it go) I get around The Underground just don't stop for hoes I get around (Round and Round) (Round it go) I get around Hey yo Shock, let them hoes know... Now you can tell from my everday fits, I ain't rich So cease and desist with them tricks (Tricks) I'm just another black man caught up in the mix (Mix) Trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents (A dime and a nickel) Just ''cause I'm a freak Don't mean that we could hit the sheets Baby, I can see, that you don't recognize me. I'm Shock-G, the one who put the satin on your panties Never knew a hooker that could sham me. I get around. What's up love, how you doin'? (Alright) Well I've been hangin' sangin, tryin' to do my thang Oh, you heard that I was bangin' Your home girl you went to school with That's cool, but did she tell you about her sister And your cousin thought I wasn't See, weekends were made for Michelob But it's a Monday, my day, So just let me hit it, yo And don't mistake my statement for a clown We can keep in the down low long as you know That I get around. Whatcha mean, ya don't know (Round and round) (Round it go) 2Pacalypse Now, don't stop for hoes I get around (Round and round) (Round it go) (Round and round) Why I ain't called you (hahaha.. please) Fingertips on the hip as I dip Gotta get a tight grip, don't slip Loose lips, sank ships, it's a trip, I love the way she licks her lips See me jockin', Put a little twist in her hips 'Cause I'm watchin' Conversations on the phone 'Til the break of dawn, Now we all alone, why the lights on? Turn 'em off, time to set it off Get you wet 'n' soft, Something's on your mind, let it off. You don't know me, You just met me, You won't let me, Well if I couldn't have it, (silly rabbit) Why you sweatin' me? It's a lot of real G's doin' time 'Cause a groupy bit the trooper told a lie. You picked the wrong guy, Baby if you're too fly You need to hit the door, Search for a new guy. 'Cause I only got one night in town, Break down or be clowned, Baby doll are you down? I get around Whatcha mean, ya don't know (Round and round) (Round it go) (Round and round) (Round it go)
