You got a hot date on your arm
You got good looks and plenty charm
You got a nice ride and everything
Ain't nothing wrong with you
You got a good job respectable
You got a nice crib you got it all 
You're so well dressed and well behaved
But you just don't turn me on

My girls say I'm crazy
And that I should go with you
Think you're so amazing 
That's the only thing to do
They say I'll be sorry you'll regret it if you don't
They don't need to worry
I know exactly what I want

[Chorus] 
I like a man with a hip-hop style
I like a man with a drop-top ride
I like a man who's independent
Uh huh huh say it again
I like a man with a hip-hop style
I like a man who can drive me wild
I like a man who can take control
Uh huh huh huh that's all

I need a rude boy with some edge
I need a ruff-neck makin' ends
I need a hot player hustlin'
Now that's what I want
I need a t-shirt with some jeans uh
That's just how it is
I need a good lover to do me right
Somebody that can turn me on

My girls say I'm crazy
And that I could go with you
Think you're so amazing
That's the only thing to do
They say I'll be sorry you'll regret it if you don't
You don't have to worry
I know exactly what I want

[Chorus]

I know just what I like
And I know when it's right
I don't need nobody else to tell me no oh
I just want to be free to be who I want to be
Can you blame me

Yo you ready for this one ladies Check it out
We like a man that is independent
Won't be asking for your pocket money or to pay rent
So stand up on your own and don't be given me no stress
Your showing me positions just to keep my interest
I like the way your lips and your hair look cris
But I'm commanding everything I'm doing in my midst
Eternally, intelligent, thats how a women is
You better pull the right strings
If you wanna get with this

[Chorus]
