Jeez ask for my number, or you can fly a kite
See I'm bout to get with it, I'm getting ratchet and livid
You think I'm cool and forget it, you feeling froggy then ribbit
Be like banana and split it, before your melon I'll split it
I bet you know what you see, it's all my girls, she deserve a

Stop, wait

Work, work, run up, if you want some
Hear the drums how they beat, that's how you done
Wait, I should think about it, never mind that's a waste
When this bitch hit the ground, how these Louboutins taste?
I'm sorry, club promoter,

It's just that bitch kept on staring, so I had to whoop that ass
