Yeah yeah yeah

Oooooohh

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah yeah yeah

Let me tell you a story now

[verse one]

I was in front of the apollo on amateur night

It was after the show, and the moon was right

The {?} was really perked off the red zone

I was in my mpv, i was all alone

A lot of out-of-town people askin me for

My john hancock or my signature

I gave it to, all of them cause i was down to earth

And plus the apollo is my home turf

So i walked across the street 'til i'm on, 125

I saw this pair of shoes that was really live

It wasn't just a pair of shoes, that was on her

From the ground up, she looked like a plate of lasagna

I said, "hey shorty, not you, your hair"

She turned around slowly and started to stare

She said, "why don'tcha take picture, it'll last a lil' longer?"

Me likin you grew a little bit stronger

She asked me what's my name i said, "emmezah emmezah"

"the name that your momma gave ya is what i prefer"

She asked me what am i drivin, and how is my health

I know what you're really thinkin baby, let me tell you!

[chorus one - biz singing]

I can do bad by myself

I don't need no help, to starve to death

I can do that alone

I can do bad by myself

I don't need no help, to starve to death

I ain't tryin to be funny honey

[verse two]

She started arguin with me, and say she's not like that

I know who you are, i don't care if you're livin fat

Because i have a mother and father that take care of me

And i'm livin in long island with a j-o-b

Okay okay i got you wrong, i must admit

I'ma give you a little time to see if you're legit

So we started goin out on a regular basis

I was takin her to the movies and my hangout,
