Girl, I can't notice but to
Notice you, noticin' me

Whoa! And yeah, that's her
The big dog tryin' to get her little kitty to purr
Ex-man lookin' at me like I'm Lucifer
'Cause he knows how I deal with the case, yes sir!
If I was the last man on Earth

Got chicks in the strip club envyin' her
Body's like weapons of mass eruptions
Sit her glass on that fat obstruction
Tongue game give a new type seduction

But this gyal deh pon another level, cut the check
Tell King, Max, stop the press
Say kid, can I get a witness?

By the way that you walkin'
From left to right I watched her go down
Girl, I just want it right now
Don't wanna do no talkin'

When she do her ting, man can't walk straight
That biscuit fi' soak up erry-ting' on her plate
Bad heels like Jessica P

Itty bitty waistline, moves with the baseline
One lick of punch, I'm fine, Jah!
