Yo Stella, if U think I'm afraid of U

(1,2)
Party people in the crib get hyped
Let's get this party funkin' right!
Come on! {x2}
(yeah) {repeat throughout song}
(Release it)
Listen 2 me now, release it
Come, come, come on, release it!
Whose crib is this?
My crib!
Whose wine U drinkin'?
Mine!
Who asked your ugly ass what time it was?
Nobody!
We doing fine!
Take it all off!
Bass - I need the funk in my face
I can't stand tight asses in my place
Let's get hype, y'all - Release it!
(Release it)
What time it is?
Band!
(Time 2 get sleazy up in here)
Mary Sweet Mother Jesus! Mmm! {sample from "The Walk"}
(Talk that talk, Morris)
Oh Stella, I know U came alone
Cuz ain't just any man qualified 2 take U home
Me?
No I'm not a man, Jerome!
He's an adventure
Oh - somebody slap me!
I don't know
Party people in the crib get hyped {x2}
Release it - yes!
(Release it)
Jerome! (Yo?) When this solo's through

Release it, boy!
Go'n Stella, dance!
Say man, back up, give me some room!
Dance!
Shake it like a peckerwood!
(Release it!)
Over and over and over and over and over
Your girlfriends told ya that I'm the rover
But I'm here 2 scold ya
That if U live alone
Then we can bone!
Gimme a number 2 phone - U grown!
And I am so
If U say no, instead of cryin', I'll keep tryin' (Cryin', tryin')
Until U're dyin' 2 have me 4 your own (Dyin')
So peep Stella, peep Stella
If U think that I'm afraid of U (Do it, MD!)
If U think that I'm afraid of U (Rap 2 her!)
If U think that I can't do the do (Yeah, papa!)
If U think that I can't do the do (Wooo!)
If U think I came 2 jerk around (Go'n say it!)
