[Intro: T-Boz, Chilli, Left Eye]
Hahahaha, what up?
Sup T-Boz?
Yea, what's up Chilli?
What up Left Eye?
Yo, Left Eye, does she mean, I left? Hahah

[Verse 1: T-Boz]
Bein' that I am the kinda girl that I am
Nobody can make me do what I don't want to, uh
I can be myself a lot and I'm proud of what I got
So I'll never change for you
Bein' that I am the kinda girl that I am
Tight jeans don't hit the scene with one like me
I got to be feeling free
And you better believe I'll do what pleases me
Yo Left Eye, kick the scene

[Left Eye]
Every day, last week, and not a place to go
This nut still had me dressin' like a fashion show
But not this week I'm chillin' 'cause it's nothin' to hide
Threw on my baggy dips and waited for my ride
He pulled up (Knock-knock) till I opened the door
Peeped my gear and started dissin' me from head to toe
But yo, just to let ya know, it's takin' ta
Make me wanna say gotta go, gotta go

[Chorus: TLC]
Hat 2 da back
I gotta kick my pants down real low
That's the kinda girl I am
That's the kinda girl I am
Hat 2 da back
I gotta kick my pants down real low
That's the kinda girl that I am (Aww yeah)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go again)

[Verse 2: T-Boz]
Bein' that I am the kinda girl that I am
Some people just don't understand the things I do
(You feelin' it "D", you feelin' it?)
Chillin' with the girls or kick it with the fellas
If I choose
And bein' that I am the kinda girl that I am
Dumb rules are left for fools with no attitude (Hahaha)
I think my way is cool
So let me be me and continue bein' real smooth
Yo Left Eye, what's up wit' that guy?

[Verse 3: Left Eye]
So yo, get it back to this dude wit' the foul attitude
Shoot, he made another bad move sayin' that
Girls shouldn't wear baseball caps, he can go take a hike
'Cause it's the style I like, yeah, it's a trip
Cause somethin' hasn't yet been said
I never talked about them damn fingerwaves in his head
Tight pants and 2 rings in each ear
You know that is dead, but it's me instead

[Chorus: TLC]
Hat 2 da back
I gotta kick my pants down real low
That's the kinda girl I am
That's the kinda girl I am
Hat 2 da back
I gotta kick my pants down real low
That's the kinda girl that I am (Aww yeah)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go again)

[Bridge: Chilli]
(Here we go again)
That's the kinda girl I am
Don't cha know I really don't give a damn
Let me be me for me and not what I'm supposed to be
So I'm gonna do what I wanna do
'Cause dumb rules are left for silly fools
That's the kinda girl that I am, ohh
(Here we go, here we go, here we go again)

[Break: T-Boz & (Left Eye)]
Some people might wonder why we're like that
(Cause we're smooth)
Smooth as....ah

[Bridge 2: Left Eye, T-Boz]
Relatively speakin' I am no ordinary dip
'Cause I ain't reachin' hipped
Til you be thinkin' I'm flipped
And that is ooooh on the TLC tip
1-2-3-4, y'all
Here we go again

[Chorus: TLC]
Hat 2 da back
I gotta kick my pants down real low
That's the kinda girl I am
That's the kinda girl I am
Hat 2 da back
I gotta kick my pants down real low
That's the kinda girl that I am
Hat 2 da back
I gotta kick my pants down real low
That's the kinda girl I am
That's the kinda girl I am
Hat 2 da back
I gotta kick my pants down real low
That's the kinda girl that I am

[Outro: T-Boz, Chilli, Left Eye]
TLC, that's it, that's us
Yo, T, you know that's right cuz she a boss
T-Boz she a boss
Yo, Left Eye, why's your name Left Eye?
Cuz Eye left motha fucka haha

TLC

TLC is a trio whose musical repertoire spans over R&B, hip-hop, soul, pop, rock, funk, and new jack swing.

Consisting of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, rapper-singer Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and singer Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, TLC found unprecedented success in the 1990s, not only as a musical group, but also for an extensive series of high profiled spats with the law, each other, and with their record label—all of which helped to solidify them as one of the definitive recording acts to emerge during the aforementioned time span.

The group, which is in fact the highest-selling girl group in America with 65 million records sold, is known for tackling important social issues in their music such as AIDS awareness, violence, domestic abuse, anorexia, bulimia, sexism, racism, and homophobia.
