Chick Wit Da Braids
Mario · Mario [2002]
you be like How
she finer than my ex, and the girl I got now
5 foot frame, shorty keeps it tight
and if you with your girl bets be lookin for a fight
cuz a brotha's gonna stop and stare
reprocutions man you won't care
and one look is never enough,
she be walkin happy talkin wit so much love
man i'm tellin you
if you think she bad then look at her crew
tell me what's a brotha to do
SOPHISTICATED and she GANSTA too
chorus
that chick wit the braids
(chick wit the braids)
in the escalade(escalade)
0h, honey lookin warm wit the chocolate skin
but i heard she was trifflin
Her girls got the braids
(girls got the braids)
sportin D.K. shades (D.K shades)
Aw she be lookin warm wit the carmel skin
but i heard she was trifflin
Her mans locked down so brothers got room
said he aint comin home no time soon
I checked the hand I didn't see no ring
I asked about her and I heard some things
I can't let her get away
Honey's around my way
Never nothin' good to say
hate the attention of the fellas game.
that chick wit the braids
(chick wit the braids)
In the escalade
(escalade)
Oh honey lookin warm wit the Chocolate skin
But I heard she was trifflin
Her girls got the braids
(Girls got the braids)
Sportin' D.K. shades
(d.k. shades)
Aw honey warm wit the carmel skin
But I heard she was trifflin
(reapet)
She's the bangest chick I've ever known
(baggin as baggin gets)
How could someone so beautful
Be so triffilin
Must be rumers and it must be lies
Cause other girls can't stand her but we can't see why that...
