Abazaba
You know, we get in the studio and do what we do best, you know?
Beautiful shit
But this time around I wan' do somethin' different, homeboy
You feel me, my nig?
Hop on them keys real quick, my nig
Play some shit that my girlfriend'll like
I ain't tryna entertain these other hoes tonight
Play some shit that my girlfriend'll like
Yeah, ha-ha-ha, yeah
This shit my girlfriend'll like
I ain't tryna entertain these other hoes tonight
I'm playin' shit that my girlfriend'll like
Check me out
She say she love it when it sounds like this
She tell me, "Kendrick, put it down like this
When I listen I wanna close my eyes
And feel your lips
Let your lyrics wrap around me and grab my hips"
So enticin', on point like the helmet of a Vikin'
Kickin' up dust like I'm hikin'
I ain't callin' a woman a bitch on this one
I be callin' my woman so I can get some
She fresh off work and Lord knows it was hard
She take off her shirt and Lord knows that I'm hard
Composin' myself, tryna remain content
She had a long day, and plus, I know she wanna vent
Now she could talk about her boss and I can give advice
Or she could take the panties off and I could eat the (pie, pie)
Fuck that, option number deuce
On the kitchen table while I play this tune
You know why?
This shit my girlfriend'll like
I ain't tryna entertain these other hoes tonight
I'm playin' shit my girlfriend'll like
Ha-ha-ha, yeah
This shit my girlfriend'll like
I ain't tryna entertain these other hoes tonight
Aba, this shit my girlfriend'll like, my nigga
Look
We be in the car, bumpin' my latest jam
I recorded at the studio around 10:00 p.m.
It's a club banger, catchy hooks and 808's
I even threw a bridge on it just to play it safe
The first eight bars, she lovin' the track
Even rewindin' it back
Soon as the beat drop
The way she react she like, "That's hot!"
'Til I start talkin' how many hoes I got
How many I've fucked
How many I've misled just to get a nut
Like a squirrel, in pursuit of lunch, uh
Though I'm on some cliché rapper shit
I know she thinkin' all my lyrics there accurate
She's so cool, though
Don't downplay her just to fuck up the mood, yo
She'll still play it, even though I sound rude, yo
And disregards to the provocative records
One thing that I do know
This somethin' that my girlfriend'll like
I ain't tryna entertain them other hoes tonight
I'm playin' somethin' that my girlfriend'll like
Nema-nema-nem, ma-nem
(Ha-ha, you funny, man)
Told you that my girlfriend'll like
Other hoes tonight, Soul
This shit my girlfriend'll like too, ha
Kendrick, I got you
This a great idea
This'll be my girlfriend joint right here
So I'ma kick the shit she like, it seem right
Like a pair of jeans that fit tight
Around her cute booty
I like to hold her from behind in line at the movies
Her body language gets read like a ruby
'Cause she a work of art, no help from Julie
I'm a beast and she such a beauty (such a beauty)
I love her, she know that, I place no one above her
Far from a narc, but best undercover
Kodak moment every time we in sync
Like a iPod plugged to a USB
It's just you and me
I mean me and her
I mean her and I
It's plain to see, affirmative
So if you ever need me
You know where Herbert is
On her mind, like she on mine, uh
Play some shit that my girlfriend'll like
'Cause I ain't tryna entertain them other hoes tonight
She do music too, this shit my girlfriend'll write
If she was me talkin' 'bout her, DJ
Play some shit that my girlfriend'll like
I ain't tryna entertain them other hoes tonight
I wrote some shit that my girlfriend'll like
Now I'm sho' to get some cuddy
