Hey mami you know that I like it when you call me papi
But it seems like that you be creeping

And baby you know that he can't go down like me
And you know the nigga can't freak like me
So mami tell me one little thing
How deep is your love for me

[Chorus]
How deep is your love for me
Tell me what it's gonna be
Now do you see your self fuckin'

Only Lord knows what your friends won't know or see
How deep is your love for me

Yo, yo, yo, yo, buenos dias mama
Creep with Doc the bullshit, when I
Talk my teeth should rot, 
I'm from the Brick so which means I'm born to dog,
You heard this, want to a shot at it, warn them all, 
I hit em off from the bathroom stall
Tappin' draws and they get gas to pass, platinum cars,
Then I'm like yo yo going buy my crew, 
Bikes with double pipes and we
Quick to lose on the turnpike
I'm the one that turned you out, dug
It out, it was the Hennessy that made us slug it out, 
What you like shit freaky, you down with it, 
Your other man's a punk with a hand to punk tha grunge, 
Ride out tough, even Honey Comb hide out, duck the hour
Rush, better choose quick, chick I got tracks to dust, Dru Hill, Def
Squad, if you askin' us

[Chorus]
