(Uh) JM yo (uh-huh, uh-huh) come on

JM yo, come on

JM yo, huh

JM yo, all so, so dark, come on

I know a dude named Jimmy used to run up in me

Nighttime pissy drunk off the Henny and Remmy

I didn't mind it (uh-huh) when he fucked me from behind (what?)

It felt fine, 'specially when he used to grind it

He was a trick when I sucked his dick

He used to pass me bricks, credit cards and shit

Suck him to sleep, I took the keys to the jeep

Tell him "I'll be back, go fuck with some other cats"

Flirtin', gettin' numbers, in the summer, hoe hop

Raw top in my mans drop

Then this homey Jimmy, he's screamin' "Gimme"

Lay me on my back, bustin' nuts all in me

After ten times we fucked, I think I bust twice

He was nice, kept my neck filled with ice (woo)

Put me in Chanels, kept me out nice

Cold suckin' his dick, rockin' the mic (come on)

It was somethin' about this dude I couldn't stand

Somethin' that could have made his ass a real man

Somethin' I wanted, but I never was pushy

The motherfucker never ate my pussy (huh, say what?)

I don't want dick tonight (come on, come on)

Eat my pussy right (uh, uh, uh, uh)

Little Kim, Little Kim, bring it to me now

I know a dude named Ron Doo push a Q

Had a wild crew on Flatbush and Avenue U

Had a weed spot, used to pump African black

He used to, seal his bag, so his workers wouldn't cap

I used to see him, in the tunnel, with fuckers at dawn

Whisper in my ear, he wanna get his fuck on

I dug him, so I fucked him, it wasn't nuttin'

He wanted me to suck him, but I didn't, I ain't frontin'

The sex was whack, a four stroke creep

I jumped on his dick, rode his ass to sleep

He called next week, askin' why I ain't beep him

"I thought your ass was still sleepin"

He laughed, told me he bought a new Path

Could he come over right fast and fuck my pretty ass?

I'll pass, nigga the dick was trash

If sex was record sales you would be double blast (I like that)

The only way you seein' me is if you eatin' me (come on)

Downtown taste my love like Horace Brown

Tryin' to impress me with your five G stones (it's JM yo)

I'll give you ten Gs nigga if you leave me alone, screamin'

I don't want dick tonight

Eat my pussy right

I don't want dick tonight (yeah, yeah)

Eat my pussy right (uh-huh)

The moral of the story is this

You ain't lickin' this, you ain't stickin' this

And I got witnesses, ask any nigga I been with

They ain't hit shit 'til they stuck they tongue in this

I ain't with that frontin' shit

I got my own Benz, I got my own ends, immediate friends (that's right)

Me and my girls rock worlds, and big niggas

Fuck for car keys, and double digit figures

Good dick I cherish, I can be blunt

I treat it like it's precious, I ain't gonna front (uh-huh)

For limp dick niggas, that's frontin' like they really

Suck my pussy 'til they kill me, you feel me? (uh) (yeah)

I don't want dick tonight

Eat my pussy right

(Say what? Come on, uh)

I don't want dick tonight

Eat my pussy right (uh, JM yo)

I don't want dick tonight (it's JM yo)

Eat my pussy right (Junior M.A.F.I.A, uh)

(It's JM yo)

I don't want dick tonight (JM yo)

Eat my pussy right (come on, huh)

I don't want dick tonight (I like that, come on)

Eat my pussy right (JM yo)

I don't want dick tonight (yeah)

Eat my pussy right

I don't want dick tonight
