Y'all ready?

(Uh-huh)

Okay, let's go



Chorus

I Pull up to the club steppin fresh up out the hummer

Got alot of cash on me, I'm a number one stunner.

In the middle of the winter, make it feel like summer,

What I'm doin?

(hey hey)

I'm tryna get a number



I Pull up to the club steppin fresh up out the hummer

Got alot of cash on me, I'm a number one stunner.

In the middle of the winter, make it feel like summer,

What I'm doin?

(hey hey)

I'm tryna get a number



{Nelly}

Half you niggas goin bout it all wrong (all wrong)

Lemme tell you what might help to get her home (get her home)

You think that lame ass demeanor gon' make her wan' come and see ya

Should've listened to BIG, you dead wrong (dead wrong)

First, you get your swagga right

Then, go stand right by that light

Let that light hit off that ice

Lookin like you landin flights

That shit there like kryptonite

She tryna put up a fight

But she can't help it, she enticed

She done looked like more than twice

St. Louis (yeah), Chi-town (yeah)

This a lot of money mama this ain't even fair

They climbin' on the tables and they standin' on the chairs



They tryna get a glimpse of what the hell is over there

Then pop, pop, pop, go a round of bottles

Then pop, pop, pop, R. Kelly follows

This shit here like hard to swallow

Only real niggas endure this power

Only real niggas give paper showers, 3 or 4 grand like every hour

And I don't give a fuck who else in town,

midwest come through shut this bitch down!



Chorus



(R. Kelly)

I'm in the club and I'm sippin' on Patrone

And Imma be up in this bitch all night long

So many my baby mommas, I'm scopin' out like a hunter

I'm tryna see which of them I'm takin home

Look at her, look at her, I like her, go get her

F**k it, go get them, let all of them bitches in

Got a lot of cash and I'm ready to spend it all

I'm so high in this mother fucker I can't see y'all

Before you take a picture (hee), give me time to pause

And it go like suit (uh huh), my ice (uh huh), my stunnas now pause

R. Kelly (that's what's up)

Kellz and Nelly (that's what's up)

Get that paper (that's what's up)

Fuck them haters (that's what's up)

Hey y'all got the game all misconstrued

I'm about to break it down try and talk some sense in y'all fools

Looky here

Playa let me tell ya what's happenin

Get that number keep it proud

Tell that bitch to write it down, shake yo hand and give you that now



Chorus



I'm gettin my drink on, I got my stunnas on

Just stop the music you can hear this on ya ringtone

We in here all night long, this goin' til 6 in the morn

Wake up with two chicks, wash our ass and goin' straight to the mall

Now gimme that number



Chorus
