Notable Lyrics
- I want a girl with extenstions in her hair.
- Bamboo earrings, at least two pair.
- A Fendi bag and a bad attitude.
- That's all I need to get me in a good mood.
- She can walk with a switch and talk with street slang
- I love it when a woman aint scared to do her thang
- Standing at the bus stop sucking on a lollipop
- Once she get pumping, its hard to make the hottie stop
- She likes to dance to the rap jam
- She's sweet as brown sugar with the candied yams
- Honey-coated complexion, using Camay
- Let's hear it for the girl, she's from around the way
