Uh wait a minute now
Can you hear me out there 
Lunatics, is y'all ready 
Let me hear ya 

I'ma sucker for cornrows and manicured toes (hey)
Fendi capri pants and Parasucos (alright) 
Passadity city with one or two throws 
I'm dropping outta high school 
Straight into the pro's, who knows I know 
That I love it when you make your knees touch your elbows 
And break it down low to the flow, there you go 
Now throw it on me slow 
And every time I bust a rhyme, baby give me some more 
You say you like that, when I hit it from behind 
And I'll be right back yea that's my very next line 
I use it time after time, when I'm speaking my mind 
It's no matter if I'm shooting game to a pigeon and dime 
I ask you who that is, talking that shit about the 'tics 
Somebody probably jealous 'cause they bitch got hit 
But nobody else dropping shit like dis, should we apologize 
F*ck 'em just leave 'em pissed hey 

[Chorus: x2]
Andele andale moma E.I. E.I. uh oh
What's poppin tonight
Andele andale moma E.I. E.I. uh oh
If the head right nelly there every night

We can go to the break of dawn, nigga 
Money long, nigga 
Go fast up the skirt to talk to the thong, nigga 
Some say I'm wrong f*ck it I'm grown, nigga 
If you ain't bout money then best be gone, nigga 
I'm flashy (uh) double takes when you walk past me 
Nasty, don't be scared boo, go ahead and ask me 
I drive fasty, call me Jeff Gordon 
In a black SS wit a navigation 
See the black blazion, something smells amazing
I gotta chick rolling up half black and Asian 
Another one paging telling me to come over 
Her husband on vacation and left her home alone 
I used the v-12 powers, weight loss powers 
From Phat Farm to Iceberg Slim in one shower
Get a room in trump towers just to hit for 3 hours 
Get the bitch up out the room 'cause she used the word ours 

[Chorus: x2]

They got a smash mouth of a whole ounce, of that sticky 
Watch my hands under a gold spout, feeling icky 
Let go off in a hoes mouth, I ain't picky 
Start fronting when the shows out 
What ya mean, 20 inches when they roll out 
Come and get me, big faces when they fold out 
Is ya wit me? Don't make me pull that 44 out
I keep it close when I the go out
Then I slide up in an esclade 
Me and E getting solid like the ice capades 
From heat, frosty, roger the rabbit than bugsy 
You understand me, wrapped crisp like mummys

If you compare me to your local grocery 
Then you'll see I got more carrots than aisle d 
More bread than aisle e, you can bag and scan me 
Sure like Al be	, you can meet tha 'tics in Maui (hey) 

[Chorus: x2]
