Around the Way Girl

Ya gotta shook up, shook down, shook up all your lovin'

Ya gotta shook up, shook down, shook upI want a girl with extensions in her hair

Bamboo earrings, at least two pair

A Fendi bag and a bad attitude

That's all I need to get me in a good mood

She can walk with her switch and talk with street slang

I love when I woman ain't afraid to do her thang

Standin' at the bus stop, suckin' on a lollipop

When she gets pumpin', it's hard to make the hotty stop

She likes to dance to the rap jam

She's sweet as brown sugar with candied yams

Honey-coated complexion

Music camay

Let's hear it for the girl

She's from around the wayI need that around the way girl (Around the way girl)

That's the one for me (She's the one)

I need that around the way girl

Ya gotta shook up, shook down, shook up all your lovin'Silky, bilky

Your smiles' like sunshine

That's why I had to dedicate at least one rhyme

To all the cuties in the neighborhood

'Cause if I didn't tell you, then another brother would

You're sweet like sugar with your gangsta talk

Wanna eat you like a cookie when I see you walk

With your rayon, silk, or maybe even denim

It really doesn't matter as long as your in 'em

You can break hearts and manipulate minds

Or surrender, act tender

Be gentle and kind

You always know what to say and do

Go flip when you think your man is playing

No cheap or petty

You're ready for loving

You're real independent, so your parents be buggin'

But if you ever need a place to stay

Come around my wayI need that around the way girl (Around the way girl)

That's the one for me (She's the only one)

I need that around the way girl

Ya gotta shook up, shook down, shook up all your lovin'Perm in your hair, or even a curly weave

With your New Edition/Bobby Brown button on your sleeve

I tell you come here

You say meet me half way

'Cause brothers been poppin' that yang all day

Around the way, you're like neighborhood jewel

All the homeboys sweat ya, so you're crazy cool

Wear your gold in the summer with your biking shorts

While your watchin' all the brothers on the basketball court

Goin' to the movies with your homegirl's crew

While the businessmen in suits be hawkin' you

Baby hair pumpin', lip gloss a-shinin'

I think you're in the mood for whinin' and dinin'

So we can go out and eat somewhere

We got a lot of private jokes to share

Lisa, Angela, Pamela, Renee

I love you, you're from around the wayI need that around the way girl (Around the way girl)

That's the one for me (She's all I ever need)

I need that around the way girl (Around the way girl)

Fine as can be (She's all I ever need)

I need that around the way girl (Around the way girl)

That's the one for me (She's the only one)

I need that around the way girl (Around the way girl)

Fine as can beYa gotta shook up, shook down, shook up all your lovin'

Ya gotta shook up, shook down, shook upYa gotta shook up, shook down, shook up all your lovin'

Ya gotta shook up, shook down, shook upYa gotta shook up, shook down, shook up all your lovin'
