I don't think the time is right (no)

Call when I'm ready, but it won't be tonight



[Second verse: Free]

We in da club Free gully no doubt

See this real deal playa starin' dead in my mouth

He got his crew, but I got mine to

Send a note to my table like (what you gonna do)

Eye game got him spreadin' me out

In my ear dry tears how he left his spouse

And oh, the nice cars and impressive house

He want to run up in I ain't no regular route (hhoooo!)

Me and the girls we ain't stressin' out

We ain't birds we ain't headin' south (nnnoooo)!

[Third verse: Mc Lyte]

Yeah, party liked I neva partied before

Fightin' Temptation like Layla Ali wit da 1, 2 

Let me show you wat da hon' do, when i come through wit da butta dip crew

Now show me dat you got my back, love me from where you at

I got eyes up over my shoulder, if you should decide to get closer (hhooo!)
