Dirty South, can y’all really feel me
East coast feel me
West coast feel me
Dirty South, can y’all really feel me
East coast feel me
West coast feel me

Boy, I been watching you like a hawk in the sky
That flies, cause you were my prey (my prey)
Boy, I promise you if we keep bumpin’ heads
I know that one of these days (days)
We goin’ hook it up while we talk on the phone
But see, I don’t know if that’s good
I been holding back this secret from you
I probably shouldn’t tell it but

If I, if I let you know
You can’t tell nobody
I’m talking bout nobody
Are you responsible
Boy I gotta watch my back
‘Cause I’m not just anybody
Is it my goal, is it your goal
Sometimes I’m goody-goody
Right now I’m naughty naughty
Say yes or say no
Cause I really need somebody
Tell me your that somebody

Boy, won’t you pick me up at the park right now
Up the block, while everyone sleeps (sleeps, sleeps)
I’ll be waiting there with my lugs, my loads, my hat
Just so I’m low key
If you tell the world (don’t sleep, you know that we’ll be weak)
Oh boy, see I’m trusting you with my heart, my soul
I probably shouldn’t let ya but if I

If I, if I let this go
You can’t tell nobody
I’m talking bout nobody
Are you responsible
Boy I gotta watch my back
cause im not just anybody
Is it my go, is it your go
Sometimes I’m goody-goody
Right now I’m naughty naughty
Say yes or say no
Cause I really need somebody
Tell me your that somebody

Baby girl
I’m the man from the big VA
Don’t you come play round my way
And listen to what I gotta say
Timbaland
Don’t you know I am the man
Rock shows here to Japan
Have people shaking-shaking my hand
Baby girl, better known as Aaliyah
Give me hives, corns, and high fevers
Make the playa haters believe us
Don’t cha know
Gotta tell somebody
‘Cause

‘Cause I really need somebody
Tell me you’re that somebody

If I, if I let this go
You can’t tell nobody
I’m talking bout nobody
Are you responsible
Boy I gotta watch my back
‘Cause I’m not just anybody
Is it my goal, is it your goal
Sometimes I’m goody-goody
Right now I’m naughty naughty
Say yes or say no
Cause I really need somebody
Tell me your that somebody

You can’t tell nobody, I’m talking about nobody
I hope you’re responsible
Boy I gotta watch my back
‘Cause I’m not just anybody
Is it my goal, is it your goal
Sometimes I’m goody-goody
Right now I’m naughty naughty
Say yes or say no
Cause I really need somebody
Tell me you that somebody

Is it my goal, is it your goal
Sometimes I’m goody-goody
Right now I’m naughty naughty
‘Cause I really need somebody
Tell me your that somebody
