[Intro: AZ & (Redman)
We got this new shit (Gon' do some of this shit)
Off our new album The Love Movement called "The Booty"
It go like this, what is it?
What?
They can front all they want, but you know what? It come down to the
The booty
Now if you just a cookie, you takin' it
The booty
And if you got one, then you help me out
The booty
Come on, everybody, just eat
That's word to Phife Dawg, everything in sight, eat it up
The booty
Now if you just a cookie, you takin' it
The booty
And if you got one, then you shakin' it
The booty
Come on, everybody, just eat
That's word to Phife Dawg, everything in sight, eat it up
I keep my promise to all of y'all to keep my shit hidden
Every y'all claim dog, but meow like kittens
Triple R, nigga, just like Mary Lou Retton
Get off that bullshit and see what I'm settin'
Pull with the set side, you just can't get in
This is illegal property and you have no weapon
Who is the native nigga who keep masters steppin'?
Reason for questions, you constantly be reppin'
Now when I was young, I stressed the cow, yo (Yo)
Now I won't let a man on the couch, yo (Yo)
The black kid with knives is called the back door (Door)
Can we be cool instead of being foul, yo?
Ghetto style dreams of fast cars and fast dollars (Dollar)
Questions of life sometimes makes you (Holler, holler)
You scream all that devil shit, talk like a scholar (Uh)
Come at your door now, fuck do you bother?
Phife Dawg, puttin' a bite back in y'all (What?)
Top Dawg, hittin' it off, Lincoln's Park (Mm-hmm, what?)
MCs, come now 'til I get around
Shake that ass, girl, because you're wearin' out (Right)
Wake up, look at the sun, see the sights (Sights)
Move, dude, you got to die 'fore your rights (Rights)
MCs, I got to work for mics (Mics)
Zombies, do it from dusk 'til the night (I'm talkin' about)
The booty
Now if you just a cookie, you shakin' it
The booty
And if you got one, then you shakin' it
The booty
Come on, everybody, just eat
That's word to Phife Dawg, everything in sight, eat it up
The booty
If you just a cookie, you takin' it
The booty
And if you got one, then you shakin' it
The booty
Come on, everybody, just eat
That's word to Phife Dawg, sing that shit
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (Sing it)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (Sing that shit)
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (Sing it)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (Say what?)
