[Intro: 9th Wonder, (Little Brother)]
Yessuh! Uh, we got coming up, like I said
"Shorty On The Lookout"
Featuring that bad man, Median
Uh, from Justus League (Shorty hit the brakes too late)
[Interlude: WJLR radio theme, (Little Brother)]
W.J.L.R.!
Bam! The future of Hip-Hop music (Shorty hit the brakes too late)
[Refrain: Little Brother]
Shorty hit the brakes too late
Shorty hit the brakes too late
Shorty hit the brakes too late
[Verse 1: Phonte, Big Pooh]
Hey, yo, rollin' out the crib, about a quarter to six
Fresh Timbs, bubble goose, all in the mix
Y'all niggas know my steez, and how crazy I get
I'm looking for the broads shaking ass and tits
I got the J League banging hard out the whip
Picked up the phone and hit my nigga Pooh on his hip
I got the call from Tay about a quarter to eight
Don't know about y'all niggas, but I sure look great
I went to change, that's how I meet in place
There go Tay and all, damn, he always late
Hopped in the whip, it's the League's new shit
What up with the chicks, yo? I'm trying to hit
Hey yo, these chicks around here ain't tryna give me no play
They mad at my verse from "Whatever You Say"
Yo, sorry about the shirt, I'll hit you with pay
You still rocking that punch from the video day
We 'bout to take it over to where Median stay
Just bounce to the beat, bounce, rock, and sway
[Hook: Phonte, Big Pooh, Median, all]
Shorty hit the brakes too late
Looking at me 'cause I am just keeping it thorough
Shorty hit the brakes too late
We shining bright for every man, child, woman, and girl
To my mans in it (C'mon) and my peeps in it (C'mon)
And my girls in it (C'mon), put your world in it (Ohhh!)
Shorty hit the brakes too late
Looking at us, 'cause we on top of the world
Shorty hit the brakes too late
And every state, every city, every town, and girl
And to my freaks in it (C'mon!) and the fam in it (C'mon!)
And the ladies in it (C'mon!), it's all gravy in it (Ohhh!)
[Verse 2: Phonte, Big Pooh, Median]
Hey, that nigga Median ain't never at home
He trying to be a player like Romey Rome
Probably at a coffee shop, trying to bone
Gassing up these chicks, like Sharon Stone
Got these young broads thinking that they grown
Nigga need to go and get a cellular phone
Tay, I seen him at a party just last week
He had around his arm a little dark skin freak
MC on the tables, on the mic, Unique
Broads around Median, trying to speak
I guess that's the life, walking in his shoes (I don't know...)
All he needs now is a Dutch and a brew
It's mid-December in here
70 degrees and the skies are clear
Feels "So Good," like Davina in here
Do them stars and them stripes mean the ending is near?
No time, got evicted, got a crib to clear
Move on, don't stop, house parties and all
And we going to ball 'til the break of dawn
[Hook: Phonte, Big Pooh , Median, all]
Shorty hit the brakes too late
Looking at me 'cause I am just keeping it thorough
Shorty hit the brakes too late
We shining bright for every man, child, woman, and girl
To my mans in it (C'mon) and my peeps in it (C'mon)
And my girls in it (C'mon), put your world in it (Ohhh!)
[Verse 3: Big Pooh, Median]
Man, where you been? We tryna lay this jam
All we hear is songs, The Invisible Man
Girls, they go hard, get giddy and stuff
That's why we want you, we ain't pretty enough
To the Nissan, we going to lay these plans
Next week we record it at Missy Ann's
Probably think I be playing with this
I can hear them niggas Pooh and Phonte in this shit
If only they could know a brother holding it down
Grinding for the day that we controlling it now
To the break of dawn, to the break of dawn
Flow's hot, just open up your mind, baby
The blind lead the blind, make the grind crazy
Why "maybe"? Just co-sign, baby
Median would like to know your mind, baby
J Lizzy is about to blow your mind, baby
Lunch time, crunch time, punchline, baby
Our time now – what? Is that a crime now, baby?
[Hook: Phonte, Big Pooh , Median, all]
Shorty hit the brakes too late
Looking at me 'cause I am just keeping it thorough
Shorty hit the brakes too late
We shining bright for every man, child, woman, and girl
To my mans in it (C'mon) and my peeps in it (C'mon)
And my girls in it (C'mon), put your world in it (Ohhh!)
[Outro: sample]
"Why do you keep me hangin' on a string?
Baby, for you, I'll do anything
So make up your mind and decide
Is this real what you feel?"
