Got me soon as I walked through the door, oh!
My pocket started tickling 
The way she dropped it low that thang 
Got me wanna spend my money on her, her 

She get it pop it, lock it, drop it,

Now take my red, black car and my jewelery 
Shawty is cool like the fire, cool like fire

She won't bring the roof to the ground on the dance floor

The order is one in every hundred years 
But ain't no doubt I'm taking it home, oh!
