Oh man, let's go, baby
We gon' take it, we gon' take it uptown one time
Yo, Ghost, I need you to take it uptown one time
Ha-ha-ha-ha, come on
A one-two, a one two (new Ghostface)
A one-two, a one two (new Ghostface)
I like to introduce myself (uh)
My name is a Big Star Piece (come on)
Ayo, shorty got a fatty, love gettin' cream
Party out in Brooklyn, stayin', she from Queens
Neck on agua, stay shakin' the block up
Smell like K Ali, that's from the top-up
'88 Billie Jean, braids all boxed up
She's livin' her best life, lookin' to get rocked up
Big door knockers with her name in the middle (middle)
Sweatpants ass like jelly, it's all jiggle (jiggle)
Certified grown, no wrestlin' over pickles
The dick don't fit, they callin' it an acquittal
Shе about 5'4, 5'6, bad with dimplеs
She ain't with that arguin' shit, she mad simple (simple)
She get fly like it's (fly like it's, fly like it's)
She hold it down like it's (down like it's, down like it's)
You can't really tell her (really tell her, really tell her)
Let's go (let's go, let's go)
Ayo, Ghostface, where the mall at, baby?
I know the big shit, the third floor is crazy
I need that new MCM bag, cream and navy
Can you buy that for me, Pretty Tone?
Bitch, you crazy
I got that red devil dust for one sixteen
Stepped off the D train at 12:15
Saw a pretty girl (girl) so I slid beside her
Said, "Yo, that Polo red rugby's on fire"
Hey, you pass me, that's a tall mistake
The way you jinglin', baby, glass floors'll break (floors'll break)
These lines is not swine, that's Hostess Cakes
Plus my name's Tony Starks, not Frosted Flakes (Flakes)
Yeah, Gucci bracelets, salt and pepper rope chains (rope chains)
Rock a baseball hat with a Cobain (Cobain)
Gold fronts, cream honey in her own lane (own lane)
Straight off the block, shorty made her own name (own name)
She get fly like it's (she get fly like it's, she get fly like it's)
She hold it down like it's (she hold it down like it's, she hold it down like it's)
You can't really tell her (you can't really tell her, you can't really tell her)
Let's go (let's go, let's go)
Now we went all over the five boroughs
We went all over the five boroughs
Ghost, I need you to bring it back to Staten Island, man
I need you to bring it back to Staten Island, man
Uh-huh
Oh, it's that vibe right here, hold on
James, well, you can come on in, man
And you can blow now if you want to, we're through
Feel like I'm in a time machine
I wanna take it back to like '88, '86, somethin' like that
