When you see that girl comin, back up
She ain't yo average chick, back up
This is for the, the, the club
And this is for the people of the, the, the block
When you see that girl comin, back up
She ain't yo average chick, back up
This is for the, the, the club
And this is for the people of the, the, the block
She ain't the average chick, she the baddest chick
She ain't the average chick, she the baddest chick
Everybody knows that face
Even with her head low, they still know that shape
When she come through the club people take they place
Chicks throwin handcuffs
'Cause they knowin that they man ain't safe
'Cause she the one switchin up flows
If it's 4 door, 2 gotta go
Chicks like: What kinda jeans is those?
And fellas watchin like: Please get low
When you see that girl comin, back up
She ain't yo average chick, back up
This is for the, the, the club
And this is for the people of the, the, the block
When you see that girl comin, back up
She ain't yo average chick, back up
This is for the, the, the club
And this is for the people of the, the, the block
She ain't the average chick, she the baddest chick
She ain't the average chick, she the baddest chick
Everybody can't do this
Some ain't gotta clue til they hear me spit
Ah chu I spew 'cause yo girl is sick
Is it the change or the hips you can't tell, but you know it's thick
'Cause she the one switchin up flows
If its 4 door, 2 gotta go
Chicks like: What kinda jeans is those?
And fellas watchin like: Please get low
When you see that girl comin, back up
She ain't yo average chick, back up
This is for the, the, the club
And this is for the people of the, the, the block
When you see that girl comin, back up
She ain't yo average chick, back up
This is for the, the, the club
And this is for the people of the, the, the block
She ain't the average chick, she the baddest chick
She ain't the average chick, she the baddest chick
For this type of girl it's not that hard
You see her 'cause she's too far gone
They only prayin, pray for her downfall
Why they gotta be so envious?
Doin what it do fit to be a plus
Hey
Back up
Back up
Back up
When you see that girl comin, back up
She ain't yo average chick, back up
This is for the, the, the club
And this is for the people of the, the, the block
When you see that girl comin, back up
She ain't yo average chick, back up
This is for the, the, the club
And this is for the people of the, the, the block
Hey
Back it up now
