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

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

So raise your hands if you're sure
Bm
Are you a young nation?

Stop to get some dressing, to the mall I'm flexing

Tonight I'm hitting the town, ain't holding nothing back
Bm C#
Hey, well alright
