Intro
Monica · After the Storm
Come on get out of the way
(Male)
The light's green
Move
(Female)
I hate these gangsta singers
with their music loud
Maam
Maam can you please turn your rap music down
You just woke my baby up dammit
ok I just called the cops
*baby crying*
*sirens*
(Missy)
Dont you ever interrupt me when I'm listening to a Monica record
(Crowd)
Ohhhhhh
(Missy)
Yeah
Straight out the slumming streets of A-T-L
I know you waited for her arrival
through the hurricanes, torandoes, and thunderstorms
The climate has now changed
And the storm is now over
I repeat the storm is now over
Let us begin
Hey yo Monica turn the volume up
