Lyrics

Grip

And here is G.I. Joe with kung-fu grip
Kung-fu grip
Five-four, thicky-thicky
Vibe around the city rollin' sticky-sticky
Back outside, got it litty-litty
Pretty and I got some bad bitches with me, with me
I get what I want, gimme-gimme
Pretty face, thick thighs and my hips don't lie
Way I got you hypnotized feel like Biggie, Biggie (mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
Yeah
No, you can't deny it, no
I see in your eyes, you love the view that I provide for you (mm-mm)
Now how you want it, baby? (Mm-mm)
How you want it, love?
Sexy, independent
The real, no pretending
I'ma ride, ain't no hidin' in it
Come through quick when you slide in it, mm (yeah)
You know that I
Five-four, thicky-thicky
Vibe around the city rollin' sticky-sticky
Back outside, got it litty-litty
Pretty and I got some bad bitches with me, with me
I get what I want, gimme-gimme
Pretty face, thick thighs and my hips don't lie
Way I got you hypnotized feel like Biggie, Biggie (mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
Yeah, yeah
Come through and do it big (grip)
Grown now, we ain't no kids (grip)
I said come through and it slide like
Need you to ride it like (grip)
Need you to ride it like this
How you want it, love?
Sexy, independent (ayy)
The real, no pretending (ayy)
I'm a vibe, ain't no hidin' in it
Kung-fu, kung-fu grip when you slide in it (kung-fu grip)
You know that I
Five-four, thicky-thicky
Vibe around the city rollin' sticky-sticky
Back outside, got it litty-litty
Pretty and I got some bad bitches with me, with me
I get what I want, gimme-gimme
Pretty face, thick thighs and my hips don't lie
Way I got you hypnotized feel like Biggie, Biggie (mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
Kung-fu grip
