Uh, Oh, oh, So So Def, turn it up
See, this is what it's about right here
Understand me, my life real
I don't know about yours
Everything I do is an event
Nas, Monica, and me
Turn it up
When it comes to my honeys in the strip club
Something on dubs in the middle of the block
Like what, say my name
When you see me with the crispy fade
Iced it out, glowing when the lights is out
Yo, say my name
When you see a Bentley, or Ferrari
A Maserati, it's probably me, say my name
When you hear this song bump in the club
When you chilling on the corner with your thugs
Say my name, I make it hot and take your block
Who they wanna be and hate they not
Yo, say my name
When your girl don't call you when you beep her
And you hit it and the thing feel deeper
Say my name
Pulling her hair, spanking her rear
While I'm in them panties, all I wanna hear is you
Say my name
Squeeze my gat, beef is done, police come
You know the game, don't say my name
Dipped out crazy, Timbs chicken and gravy
Q.B. Dupri, baby
When it comes to clubs packed, Cristal flowin'
(I got to have it)
When it comes to homes
Plushed out, chrome stuck out in traffic
(I got to have it)
When it comes to a neck full of glow
And a check full of O's, you know
(I got to have it)
When it comes to my honeys in the strip club
Something on dubs in the middle of the block
Like what, say my name
Got it on ice, hotter than an iceberg
Gucci, rollin' bezeled up, bezeled up
Gotta have me a double O, with the six in the front
And the bump, bump in the trunk
Gotta have me an Escalade, my house is late
A man that keeps my bills paid
My records play everyday
What can I say, I got to have it
When it comes to clubs packed, Cristal flowin'
(I got to have it)
When it comes to homes
Plushed out, chrome stuck out in traffic
(I got to have it)
When it comes to a neck full of glow
And a check full of O's, you know
(I got to have it)
When it comes to my honeys in the strip club
Something on dubs in the middle of the block
Like what, say my name
When you see a black doo-rag through the tint
Of a black Bent' going too fast
Say my name
When you talk about longevity
And niggas that know how to keep getting that cash
Say my name
When you sick of your song, sitting on the right
And wanna know what the top feel like
Say my name
You wanna know what being hot feel like
What shutting down the spot feel like
Say my name
JD from the home where the bows get thrown
And the dough get gone real quick like
Six niggas sick like
40 Karats in a chain, foolish ain't it
Say my name
Everything you did, I done did double
If you hate to see Flash, your ass is in trouble
Scram now and don't look back
Cause until I die it's like that
When it comes to clubs packed, Cristal flowin'
(I got to have it)
When it comes to homes
Plushed out, chrome stuck out in traffic
(I got to have it)
When it comes to a neck full of glow
And a check full of O's, you know
(I got to have it)
When it comes to my honeys in the strip club
Something on dubs in the middle of the block
Like what, say my name
Girl, don't you love the way I rock it, baby
Girl, how I keep it in the pocket, maybe
We can hook up cause you got something I want
(I got to have it)
Girl, don't you love the way I rock it, baby
Girl, how I keep it in the pocket, maybe
We can hook up cause you got something I want
(I got to have it)
