Up all night like we've been on that ecstasy (yes!)
Mixed with Hennessy, he got the remedy
Yeah, my nigga into me, I can't say it simply
We (uh-huh, whoo), take a quick shower for the hour conversation
Time to have relation, love makin' in the basement (yes!)
Smack it up, flip it up, crush it
One minute, two minute, I was no question (ah!)
Who would ever think that I'd be givin' up the goodies?
Walkin' 'round naked in a pair of pink footies (huh!)
Just like them hoes at the shows
Half-dressed clothes doin' whatever, who knows (okay!)
Nah, I only get freaky with him
No ménage à trois, not freaky with them (whoo!)
It's just me and my man

To any chick who check my fella when we together (oh), so (uh-huh)
He treat me like a Cinderella, yup
Protect me from the storm like he my umbrella (okay)
This fella deserve primo stellar, he be a Roc-A-Fella
Not to Jay-Z and Dame but the charm on the chain be platinum
Jacob Roley lookin' sporty, he packin'
Money can be stackin' (ooh), keep track and I fax him (yeah)
If I can't find his ass, then his ass out of gas
He only gettin' one pass (uh-huh, okay!)
My man (my man), is my man and nobody else's (huh)
Damn right, I hope y'all felt this (uh-huh)

You better get focused 'fore you ever try to approach him
For my man (yeah), I'll do whatever (m-make)
I'll do whatever, baby (make me, make me do thangs, yes!)
'Cause what I feel, this love (this love)

See, when you in love you might have to fight (uh-huh)
Don't say you won't, never say you won't (uh-uh, no!)
You might get real mad, wanna act all bad
Act up in the street (uh-uh), a few chicks you gotta beat
'Cause they disrespect (disrespect, whoo!)
Clockin' your man from his feet to his neck, uh
You gotta let her know that's a no-no, slap her real slow (uh-huh)
With a right blow whichever way it go
And keep it gangster (gangster)
