What Tha Business Is
[Verse 1]
Well, I stepped in, 12 o'clock feeling like a million bucks
Diamonds shining off of my cuffs
Then I saw an angel out of the blue
A certified stallion, body made of porcelain
Had to get my mind right to holla "what it do"
Then you looked up with those green eyes
So captivating, oh, so motivating
You might not know me but I wanna show you
I can give you what you need

[Chorus]
I'm about to be out (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
So go on tell me what it is
What it is, what it is (Ayy)
Are you gonna be out with a guy (Oh-oh)
Or stand around with your friends
What it is, what it is
Tell me what the business is

[Verse 2]
Are you thirsty? You wanna wet your throat before we go
Let's creep to the bar, take a shot of XO
Maybe it'll help us loosen up, guaranteed to get us right
We can two-step to the door
I think I found what I came here for
I don't wanna wait a minute more
We've wasted half the night
When you walked by with those thick thighs (Oh, those thighs)
So captivating, oh, so motivating (So motivating)
Baby, take my hand, show me that you're comfortable
Let me give you what you need
[Chorus]
I'm about to be out (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
So go on tell me what it is (What it is)
What it is, what it is (Oh girl)
Are you gonna be out with a guy (Oh-oh)
Or stand around with your friends
What it is, what it is
(Tell me) what the business is

[Bridge]
My 750's waiting
I'm waiting when you are (You are)
I see your girlfriends hatin'
Don't let 'em stop your heart
My ice is steady tickin'
We need to make a move
'Cause time is of the essence, baby, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm about to be out
So go on and tell me what it is
What it is, what it is
Are you gonna be out with a guy (Oh-oh)
Or stand around with your friends
What it is, what it is
I'm about to be out
So go on and tell me what it is
What it is, what it is
Are you gonna be out with a guy (Oh-oh)
Or stand around with your friends
(I gotta know, girl; I gotta know, girl)
What it is, what it is
What the business is
