You ain't know Twista could work it like The Whispers?
Hit the stop light, move it to some Isleys
Rims still moving so I bump a lil' Spinners
While I'm smoking on a b dipping through the streets
Bumpin' R&B and I got the heat on the 23's
And I do it (well, well, well, well)
With my Earth in the Wind smoking Fire
Let me get ya sheets wet listenin' to Keith Sweat
Put you in a daze wit Maze
Fulfilling our every temptation, slow jammin' havin' deep sex
You ready for the world, girl, come on go wit me
I touch you all over your body, baby, don't say no to me
And every moment controlling me
I'm lovin' the way you be holdin' me when I be listening to Jodeci
And when I come over and bend ya ass
You be bumping Teddy Pendergrass
I done hit it from the back to the melody and rode it slow
Now I got to go up in it fast, but I'ma finish last
No matter how much of a thug you see
I still spit it like it's R&B, come to the club with me
And when some Luther come on I hope you feelin' me
And still will be in love wit me, Chi ride

She said she want some Marvin Gaye, some Luther Vandross
A little Anita will definitely set this party off right
(Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, are you gonna be
Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, well, well, well, well)
She said she want some Ready for the World, some New Edition
Some Minnie Ripperton will definitely set this party off right
