About Get It Shawty

"Get It Shawty" is a song by American R&B artist Lloyd. It was released in March 2007 as the second single from his second album, Street Love (2007). Lloyd stated that he wanted to try something different with the track, to have fun and show some of his dance moves. The track was produced by James "J. Lack" Lackey, the younger brother of R&B singer Usher. Lloyd overheard the beat when he was at Usher's manager's office, and liked it so much that he begged Usher to let him have it for a song. In addition to hip-hop remixes, Moto Blanco provided the official dance mix for the song. The single debuted on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at number fifty-seven on the issue dated March 24, 2007, and it peaked at number four. The following week the single debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number seventy-six and it peaked at number sixteen. The song was featured in the in-game radio station The Vibe 98.8 in Grand Theft Auto IV.

I can't sit back and let this moment slip away (away)
'Cause I got my eye on you (you)
I see ya lookin' over ya shoulder, let me make my way over
Excuse me, miss lady, how ya doin'
Your body lookin' right you're type I like and, I'm pursuin'
So can I get a little closer
So I can get to know you and exchange names and thangs
Before the night is over?

All I really want is
For you to back it up gon' and put your weight on it
'Cause it's alright do what you wanna
Make me believe ya oh, I wanna see ya

Get it shawty, get it shawty, get it shawty (get it shawty)
G-g-g-g-get it shawty, get it shawty, get it shawty (get it shawty)

I can't sit back and let the night just drift away
So, baby, whatcha gon' do? (do?)
'Cause I don't wanna lose it come on, keep it movin'
Excuse me, miss lady, how ya doin'?
Your body lookin' right you're the type I like and, I'm pursuin'
Can I get a little closer
So I can get to know you and exchange names and thangs
Before the night is over?

All I really want is
For you to back it up gon' and put your weight on it
'Cause it's alright do what you wanna
Make me believe ya ooh, I wanna see ya

Get it shawty, get it shawty, get it shawty (get it shawty)
G-g-g-g-get it shawty, get it shawty, get it shawty (get it shawty)

Jeans tight, high heels this is how you make me feel
Lips glossed, teeth white apple bottoms, let me bite
Spend the night catch a flight
We can do what-what you like
Feeling right, ya smellin' good
Let get this understood
Is there something you're not telling me
Are you the daughter of Frankie Beverly?
It's the way you move the way you groove
I'm a fan, and you're the celebrity
She doin' freaky stuff
Shawty got me geeked up
Like Fabo I got Play-doh
Let me show you street love, ow!

All I really want is
For you to back it up gon' and put your weight on it
'Cause it's alright do what you wanna
Make me believe ya ooh, I wanna see ya

Get it shawty, get it shawty, get it shawty (get it shawty)
G-g-g-g-get it shawty, get it shawty, get it shawty (get it shawty)
