F#m G#
As I'm strolling down the block with really nothing on my mind
C#m7 C#m6
Laid back and I'm just thinking of old times
F#m G#
Pop in a Isley Brothers tape and I'm maxing
C#m7 C#m6
Peeping through my side view, checking out my waxing
F#m G#
Hey, I gotta say
C#m7 C#m6
Today's a good day for me to live around the way (ho)
F#m G#
Time to hit the 6-4
C#m7 C#m6
And pump the bass at 'em just to let 'em know
F#m G#
Aaliyah's in the house, so I think you'd better check my flow
C#m7 C#m6
Hello, hello

I check my cellular because my beeper's beeping
C#m7 C#m6
Booty calls are creeping, fellas on the corner peeping
F#m G#
Me (wassup); time to set it off
C#m7 C#m6
And so I pick up my girls and hit the strip just because
F#m G#
Jazz array hey, it's Saturday and
C#m7 C#m6
The sun is blazing, it's so amazing
F#m G#
And if you are a YNP
C#m7 C#m6
And you're rolling with the CGE Congratulations
F#m G#
I know I got the skills to make you trip
C#m7 C#m6
R Kelly's flipping tracks, so grab a hold and don't you slip
F#m G#
The negative young nation that steps to me gets dealt with
C#m7 C#m6
So raise your hands if you're sure
F#m
Are you a young nation?

Well, 6 o' clock rolls around and now I'm stepping
C#m7 C#m6
Stop to get some dressing, to the mall I'm flexing
F#m G#
You know to get them funky croaka-sacks
C#m7 C#m6
Tonight I'm hitting the town, ain't holding nothing back
F#m G#
Hey, well alright
C#m7 C#m6
