And I just wanna be with you tonight (girl, please)
I'm a playa, yeah, it's true
But I change the game for you

Weezy F baby, the key to the ladies
Keys to the 'cedes, but please say the baby

We should be alone, we can get a day in
Ya like what I'm sayin'?
Then come around the way and
We can go inside and stay in
Tell the homeboy ya stayin'
You've been taken

Turn me on, and I'm a turn him, ya'
You know I love you like cooked food
You know you fuckin' wit' a good dude
You know you give good brain 
like you graduated from a good school
You know I'm a good move
So you should do (me)
So, hey, shawty, what it is?
The Carter who it is
Now, shawty, do it big
A party at my crib
That's a party in the hills
You call it what you want
But she gon' call it when she feels
(Ow!)

Can I be for real?
This is how I feel
I'm in need of love
So let's dip up out of here
Oh ya, just my type
Everything's so right
And I just wanna chill
So let's dip up out of here
