  • Are you gonna be? Say that you're gonna be
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

    She said she want some Marvin Gaye, some Luther Vandross
    A little Anita will definitely set this party off right
    (Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, are you gonna be
    Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, well, well, well, well)
    She said she want some Ready for the World, some New Edition
    Some Minnie Ripperton will definitely set this party off right
    (Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, are you gonna be
    Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, well, well, well, well)

    I told her to drive over in yo' new whip
    Bring some friends you cool with
    I'ma bring the cool whip, then I want you to strip
    See you is my new chick, so we get our grind on
    She be grabbin', calling me Biggie like Shyne home
    Man I swear she fine homes (back in the day)
    Why she always lying though?
    Tellin' me them diamonds (back in the day)
    When she know they rhinestones
    She got a light-skinned friend look like Michael Jackson
    Got a dark-skinned friend look like Michael Jackson
    I played Ready for the World, she was ready for some action
    My dog said you ain't no freak
    So you 'bout to prove my man wrong
    I'ma play this Vandross, you gon' take yo pants off
    I'ma play this Gladys Knight, me and you gon' get right

    She said she want some Marvin Gaye, some Luther Vandross
    A little Anita will definitely set this party off right

    Now, now Kanye, I know I told you to slow it down, baby
    And it's good, it's all good, it's beautiful, it's beautiful
    But now, I need you to do it faster, baby
    Can you please? Do it faster baby, do it faster
    Damn, baby, I can't do it that fast
    But I know somebody who can, Twista

    Got you looking at the glist on my hands and wrist
    While I'm laying back smoking on my cannabis
    When it come to rocking the rhythm like Marvin and Luther
    I can tell you ain't no messin' with Kan man and Twist
    In the Chi and I be sipping Hennessy, play some R&B
    While I smoke a b, you can preferably find that I'm a G
    And all this (well, well, well, well)
    Come with me and sip on some Evelyn Champagne
    You ain't know Twista could work it like The Whispers?
    Hit the stop light, move it to some Isleys
    These rims still moving so I bump a lil' Spinners
    While I'm smoking on a b dipping through the streets
    Bumpin' R&B and I got the heat on the 23's
    And I do it (well, well, well, well)
    With my Earth in the Wind smoking Fire
    Let me get ya sheets wet listenin' to Keith Sweat
    Put you in a daze wit Maze
    Fulfilling our every temptation, slow jammin' havin' deep sex
    You ready for the world, girl, come on go wit me
    I touch you all over your body, baby, don't say no to me
    And every moment controlling me
    I'm lovin' the way you be holdin' me when I be listening to Jodeci
    And when I come over and bend ya ass
    You be bumping Teddy Pendergrass
    I done hit it from the back to the melody and rode it slow
    Now I got to go up in it fast, but I'ma finish last
    No matter how much of a thug you see
    I still spit it like it's R&B, come to the club with me
    And when some Luther come on I hope you feelin' me
    And still will be in love wit me, Chi ride

    She said she want some Marvin Gaye, some Luther Vandross
    A little Anita will definitely set this party off right
    (Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, are you gonna be
    Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, well, well, well, well)
    She said she want some Ready for the World, some New Edition
    Some Minnie Ripperton will definitely set this party off right
    Yes it will
    Oh, yes it will

    Baby, drop another slow jam
    And all the lovers need to hold hands
    And if you ain't got no man, hop up in my Brougham
    I keep it pimpin' like a old man, you gots to roll with the plan
    'Cause if nothin' then I take it to the dome
    When I get to bone, stay up in the zone
    Gotta get you home, gotta run up on
    And I do it (well, well, well, well)

    Baby, drop another slow jam
    And all the lovers, need to hold hands
    And if you ain't got no man, hop up in my Brougham
    I keep it pimpin' like a old man, you gots to roll with the plan
    'Cause if nothin' I'll take you to my home
    We can get it on, disconnect the phone
    Trying to get you gone, I'ma make you moan
    And I do it (well, well, well, well) Writer/s: Burt Bacharach, Carl Mitchell, Hal David, Kanye West
