[You want me to say it now? c'mon let's go!] All you cats in the back if you ain't wack If you're on the side flygirls and guys All the people in the middle when Spin drops the needle If there's moneymakers in the front you know what I want I went to a party the other day around the way With my partner her name P E P A We were dressed to kill ready and willin' to make a killin' Met Spinderella at the door, what was she doin' Salt? Chillin' We walked inside a man asked the three for ID When he found out who we was he said, "Go ahead girls, y'all can go in free The drinks are on the house, anything you want is yours" Then he gave us the keys to the V.I.P. doors I said...
