*toy around with rhythms, they're not always straight or expected


(Intro)
LA face with the Oakland booty
C F C F

(Verse)
  C                    F
I like big butts and I cannot lie
    C              F
You other brothers can’t deny
       F
When a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
       G
And a round thing in your face
        C                    F
You get sprung and you wanna pull up tough
       C           F
You notice that butt was stuffed
F
Deep in the jeans she’s wearing
G
I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring
Em 
Oh babe, I wanna get wit’cha
Am
And take your pretty picture
F
My homeboys tried to warn me
G
But that butt you got makes me so horny
C           F
Ooh, Rumple-smooth-skin
C                     F
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
      F
Well, use me, use me
G
Cause you ain’t that average groupie
C              F
I’ve seen them dancing
C             F
The hell with romancing
F
Cause she’s sweat, wet,
G
Got it going like a turbo Vette

Em
I’m tired of magazines
Am
Saying flat butts are the thing
F
Take the average black man and ask him that
G
She gotta pack much back

C           (X2201X)
So, fellas, fellas
Am                      (10221X)
Has your girlfriend got the butt?
F                     F
Tell her to shake it, shake it
Am                 G
Shake that healthy butt
C         Am

Knock-kneed bimbos walking like hoes
Dm
You can have them bimbos

I’ll keep my women like Flo Jo
C                         F
A word to the thick soul sistas, I wanna get with ya
C        F
I won’t cuss or hit ya
Dm
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna? (pause)
G
Til the break of dawn

Em
Baby got it going on
Am
A lot of simps won’t like this song
Dm
Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it
G
And I’d rather stay and play

Dm
Cause I’m long, and I’m strong
G
And I’m down to get the friction on

C           F
So, ladies, ladies
