If you really got a problem, we can handle that problem, yeah, body to body

She screech like a hyena when I get her body

I was just in Texas with Aaliyah, her pussy a jungle
They wanted this album to be opposite, but I told ’em I’m comin’ normal
When you play this shit, wear a white tux, young nigga, like you in a formal, hah

Outro

I was twenty-four when I had lil’ Onyx

Twenty-seven when I had Yves

I let the sun
I let the sun lead me home
I let the moon
I let the moon set me up
