[Intro:]
Yeah, man
Baby's weak
She ain't nothing but another pretty face
You know what I'm saying?
She ain't saying nothing
(Ain't that.. ain't that a.. ow!)
She needs to move on
[Repeat x4:]
Do it!
(Witcha bad self)
[Verse 1:]
Ah
Dance to the rhythm
Enhance
This is your last chance
Get on the floor
I want the whole house dancing
Party up
(Uh oh!)
Party up
(Uh oh!)
I love to push up
When I'm rolling on the tempo
Mic in hand
Looking grand
Understand?
Looks can be deceiving
Don't play me soft
I'll rock hard with any man
Or she-man, hell, for that matter
I gather
I'll receive most of my flack from the latter
People, people
This ain't a sequel
Just another face you say
But really not an equal
That's where you're wrong
Dead wrong sucker
You see
I'm tired of people singing the same ole song
Hard work is how you make it
Why go half-ass and fake it?
Worked long and hard
The next plateau is where I'm taking it
You must always take stock in your self wealth
(Go on, girl, witcha bad self)
You know it
[Chorus:]
[Repeat x2:]
(Witcha bad self)
Go on witcha bad self
[Repeat x2:]
(Witcha bad self)
[Verse 2:]
Ah
Speak my mind
Never hesitant
My time is spent perfecting what I do
Call me anything but militant
About face
While I precede with my case
Me and my sisters on a rise in the place
(Yo, hold up, baby)
Uh uh
I don't think so
Baby, don't play that
Besides
Not while I'm on a roll
You stepped left
So I left your butt standing
Mumbling on the few words you had left
(She left me hanging)
Hangin's what I'm doing
(Girlfriend, give it to 'em)
Mama said
Be nice to men
They really don't know what they're doing
So I jack to the dance floor
With an individuality
You've never seen before
So keep the beat rocking
Clocking
The bass is knocking the walls
Carmen is answering the calls
Just laying for the moment to get ignorant
Come on, C
Bring in the regiment
[Chorus:]
[Repeat x2:]
(Witcha bad self)
Go on witcha bad self
You know it
[Repeat x2:]
(Witcha bad self)
[Verse 3:]
Yeah, I bring it hard
But there's a soft side a bit shy
A city-fied girl
With an innocence that's still purified
Forever killing you softly
Come love me down
Never will there be no heartache
Baby, when I'm around
You could say I'm from around the way
Ask the posse in the hood
They say that baby don't play
Can anyone here rub me the right way?
(Oooh)
Oooh
(Oooh)
Oops
See what I mean?
The little girl in me starts teasing
Thinking of the moment when I am pleasing
The right one
Whoever that may be
And when the time comes
He'll be my one and only
Never spread yourself around or
You're bound to be held down
How profound
That sounds like love on the rebound
Imagine
I just pulled this off my shelf
It was clever
Makes me want to jump back and kiss myself
Damn
Uh
Yo, baby's gonna go
[Chorus:]
[Repeat x2:]
(Witcha bad self)
Go on witcha bad self
You know it
[Repeat x2:]
(Witcha bad self)
Yeah, baby's gonna go
You
You know it
Yeah, man
Baby's weak
