Lyrics
To be

NOT!
HOLD UP!
bring the beat back
STOP!

WAIT!

(yes ma'am, yes ma'am)
I think i'm ready
been locked up in the house way too long
it's time to get it
'cause once again he's out too long
and my girls are so real
said it's been a minute since i had some
he's been acting up
but he won't be the only one
(oh)
cause when he act wrong
is when you put it on
pull em up tight

poke out ya back
time to impress
pull out ya freakum dress

(oh oh oh)
and put ya freak-um dress on
soon as he saw me
don't know how that dress was fittin right

keep tellin me how my outfits so nice
