Hey, you, jump in this ride
It's real nice, and slippery inside
Rise, eyes, come get this pie, ride it style
Said it a minute ago, I did it a minute ago
I drop it, I pick it slow, I want it, I kick it though
Cause they know that I got that Gucci
Said I'm bad, but I could be a Gucci

Please my body, rock my body, roll, you make me go
Na na na na na me go
Please my body, heal my body roll, you make me go
Na na na na na me go, we gon'

Hey stranger over there
I'm really liking that way
You whip it whip it
Yeah, I want you everyday
You're so right, you're so tight
You got my world spinning
You got my world spinning
My head goes round and around, round and around
Now I'm thinking
If we could be, stranger what you say?
I'm really liking that way
You whip it whip it whip it whip it

Na na na na na me go
Na na na na na me go

Is that my cue? I'm looking for some brain to boost my IQ
I'm like 5'2, my SAT scores was high too
But I don't mean to brag I Louis Vuitton bag em
Hopped out the jag proceeded to sha shag em
Slim, trim, oh so light skin
So pe pe peter put the pipe in

Please my body, rock my body, roll, you make me go
Na na na na na me go
Please my body, heal my body roll, you make me go
Na na na na na me go, we gon'

Hey stranger over there
I'm really liking that way, you whip it whip it
Yeah, I want you everyday
You're so right, you're so tight
You got my world spinning
You got my world spinning
My head goes round and around, round and around
Now I'm thinking, if we could be, stranger what you say?
I'm really liking that way
You whip it whip it whip it whip it

Na na na na na me go, na na na na na me go
Na na na na na me go, na na na na na me go
