Okay I saw you at the bus stop
You had on a halter top
And your mini skirt
And your Dooney and your Bourke
So I turn around and scooped you
Hit you with that toot toot
Like do you need a ride
Like do you need a ride

Because I know where you're from
You're from where I'm from
And I'm with you girl
I know you girl
I like you girl
I want you and I'm from where you're from
And I'm cool with your mom
And I like you girl
I want you girl
I'm with you girl
I'm for you girl

[Chorus]
You're my around the way girl, oh
You're my around the way girl, oh oh
You're my around the way girl, oh
You're my around the way girl, oh oh

I saw you at the Benz lot
In that new Benz drop
Lookin' at that Benz drop
So I brought you that Benz drop
And now you in that new coupe
Hit me with that toot toot
Like girl I need a ride
Like girl I need a ride

Because you know where I'm from
I'm from where you're from
And I'm with ya girl
I know you girl
I like you
I want you and you're from where I'm from
And your cool with my mom
And I know you
I like you
I'm with you
I'm for you girl

[Chorus]
You're my around the way girl, oh
You're my around the way girl, oh oh
You're my around the way girl, oh
You're my around the way girl, oh oh

Lil Wayne

Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., better known by his stage name Lil Wayne, grew up in the Hollygrove neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana.

At the age of nine, Lil Wayne joined Cash Money Records as the youngest member of the label, and half of the duo, The B.G.‘z, with B.G.. In 1997, Lil Wayne joined the group Hot Boys, which also included rappers Juvenile, B.G., and Young Turk. Lil Wayne gained most of his success with the group’s major selling album Guerrilla Warfare, released in 1999. He has been listed in the 2012 Guinness Book Of World Records for the record of Most US Hot 100 Hits By A Rap Artist with 64 hits between 1999 and 2010.

Wayne is famous for his command of slow, witty lines and metaphorical jokes. His discography includes a slew of successful mixtapes, including Dedication 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6; No Ceilings; and Da Drought 3. His albums consistently garner acclaim, with Tha Carter series all platinum hits. Tha Carter series has been a work of Wayne’s for 13 years and continues to grow with the fifth installment, Tha Carter V released in 2018 (however, it was initially supposed to be released in late 2014). Wayne keeps a regular recording schedule, with studio booths in his tour bus, home, and following him everywhere.
