Get mad 'cause you ain't interested, he yellin' f*ck you bitch
Now don't get it twisted, yeah I'ma look when you pass

Ya see it's the swagger, it won't allow me lookin' thirst
And I ain't attackin' unless I get a signal first

I like ya got ya own house and ya own car
But ya say you got a lame ass nigga in your life
And he can't get the mental and physical part right

You playin' wit ya toys but ya toys don't bite
See they don't talk shit and they don't hit it how you like
See I just want the first right of refusal when you catch the mood
Just call and I come through and sock it to you, promise you booboo

He said he got the magic stick, well ma my shit is like voodoo
That there stay harder than a rodeo you can ride like Isuzu
But all you need is your leather boots, we ridin' in birthday suits
