It's some sexy ladies in the house tonight (okay!)
We gon' start this thing off right (say what?)
We got TLC in the house tonight

Baby if I drop it down to the ground
Then put it in your face now, what ya gon' do?
Shorty if I shake it then turn around
Then back it up on ya, what ya gon' do?

If you want some, come get some
If you want some, come get some
If you want some, come get some
If you want some, shawty, come get some

Went in to the club
You know I gotta get geared up
Make sure my hair looks right
Know I'm lookin' good
Want to put my butt jeans on
Sure make my ass look tight
When my crew lights up
Then we start doin' our strut
Hip to the beat get some
Don't think you really want none
But if you want some get some

Baby if I drop it down to the ground
Then put it in your face now, what ya gon' do?
Shorty if I shake it then turn around
Then back it up on ya, what ya gon' do?

If you want some, come get some
If you want some, come get some
If you want some, come get some
If you want some, shawty, come get some

Girls from the South
Know how to turn the spot out
Feelin' soul what it's all about
Shake it in the club
Then take you out to the grub
Down at the Waffle House
Everyday we get crunk
We know how to show you love
Can't nobody do it like us
Don't think you really want none
If you want some get some

Baby if I drop it down to the ground
Then put it in your face now, what ya gon' do?
Shorty if I shake it then turn around
Then back it up on ya, what ya gon' do?

If you want some, come get some
If you want some, come get some
If you want some, come get some
If you want some, shawty, come get some

Y'all don't know in the South
We keep the party jumpin'
From dusk to dawn, we keep it crunk
We keep the masses bumpin'
Y'all don't want none
Y'all don't want none
But if you think you can hang with the A, don't front
Come get some

What's happenin' shawty
Sean Paul from the East side
Want to ride or die baby
Lotsa replies
Love the way your jeans fit
'Cause your hips wide
I know you're from the South
I can tell from your back side
I'm from the slums
Let me show you how the 'Lac rides
Money ain't a thang baby
'Specially if you act right
A young stunna but I'm sure you got your own money
The only time you see me runnin' baby if the po' comin'
Shawty lookin' good do that dance
I'm pretty sure you know I know what's in them pants
I'm a tease, shawty give me a chance
And if you like it now pop it and I'll leave in advance
Oh no shawty I don't play
I can tell from the slang you born and raised in the A
So I'm pretty sure I know where you stay
Baby, just hit me on the hip and I'll be headed your way

Hey, now right about now (what's up?)
We gon' break this thing down (well break it down then)
If you know how to stomp (stomp)
We need y'all to crank it on up (let's go)
Like this (like this)

Do the A-Town stomp!
Do the A-Town stomp!
Do the A-Town stomp!
Do the A-Town stomp!

Baby if I drop it down to the ground
Then put it in your face now, what ya gon' do?
Shorty if I shake it then turn around
Then back it up on ya, what ya gon' do?

If you want some, come get some
If you want some, come get some
If you want some, come get some
If you want some, shawty, come get some

Baby if I drop it down to the ground
Then put it in your face now, what ya gon' do?
Shorty if I shake it then turn around
Then back it up on ya, what ya gon' do?

If you want some, come get some
If you want some, come get some
If you want some, come get some
If you want some, shawty, come get some

Baby if I drop it down to the ground
Then put it in your face now, what ya gon' do?
Shorty if I shake it then turn around
Then back it up on ya, what ya gon' do?

If you want some, come get some
If you want some, come get some
If you want some, come get some
If you want some, shawty, come get some
