Uhh, gotta get it...uhhh....hmmm....get it, get it

--baby--

(verse one) {:21}

Stab thru the neighborhood, these spinin'

Weez winin', scrap with the John Lennon

Head rests, TV's in 'em

Best in the nation, on this playstation

The Don Daata, gotta get you hotter

Been a buck naked nigga smokin' water

On a friday, the get high day

Blowin' at a hot date, findin' Shade

Black and bicantay, with ass everwhere, how you do that there?

A sight to behold, break the mold

Just tryin' to get some before the world explode

I see you tryin' to get caught

Well shake what your mama gave ya, plus what you bought

We fuck and we fought, we laugh and we cry

Told the truth and we lie

(chorus) {:57}

You be good to me, i'll be good to you

Anything you want, anything you do

I got my eyes on you, and i'm in to you

Give it all I got, and to keep it hot

(verse two) {1:15}

Now what a freak like you, doin' with a fool like me?

Explain it to your family

It's got to be insanity --because I like what you're doing to me--

You know you ain't right standin' at the light

Think it's chocolate with that shit too tight

And if I fuck around and get you in the car with me

Motherfuckers would think I had a star with me

Now see the haterism increase

They hate when you got a dime piece

And I got one shotgun, and I might catch a hot one

When i'm lookin' for love and niggas got none, uhh

If you let me handcuff your wrist

Bonnie and Clyde ain't got shit on this

Cuz Bonnie and Clyde had to take a risk

But most of my money see it's all legit --baby--

It's all about your state of mind

Now what would you do if I handed you a tech nine?

Are you feelin' me?

Would you stay down like Hillary?

Even if you thought about killin' me?

(chorus) {2:02}

You be good to me, i'll be good to you

Anything you want, anything you do

I got my eyes on you, and i'm in to you

Give it all I got, and to keep it hot

(verse three) {2:19}

Now what a freak like you, doin' with a fool like me?

Explain it to your family

It's got to be insanity --because I like what you're doing to me--

Are you the type of girl that would call them folks

Have your man leave the house in chains and ropes

Don't need the kind of girl that'll have me in court

On lawsuits lyin' about demestic abuse

Have a bitch like Judge Judy cussin' me out

Garnish my cheques, reposses my lex

Cuz I come from a place in southern Californi

Where hoes rake niggas for tons of alimoni

But fuck the world don't aks me for shit

Unless you my boo, and i'm fuckin' you

The rest of these broads ain't knowin'

That i'm a have you bumpin' Lauryn, in somethin' foreign

Come thru blow the horn

Stick your wrists out the window

And wave to your kinfolks

Let 'em know who you with

And to your crazy ass daddy, let him know who to get

(chorus) {3:06}

You be good to me, i'll be good to you

Anything you want, anything you do

I got my eyes on you, and i'm in to you

Give it all I got, and to keep it hot

Now what a freak like you, doin' with a fool like me?

Explain it to your family

It's got to be insanity --because I like what you're doing to me--
