Around The Way Girl Lyrics - Mama Said Knock You Out - Ll Cool J

Ya gotta shook up, shook down, shook up all your lovin' 

Ya gotta shook up, shook down, shook up 

I want a girl with extensions in her hair 

Bamboo earrings, at least two pair 

A Fendi bag and a bad attitude 

That's all I need to get me in a good mood 

She can walk with her switch and talk with street slang 

I love when I woman ain't afraid to do her thang 

Standin' at the bus stop, suckin' on a lollipop 

When she gets pumpin', it's hard to make the hotty stop 

She likes to dance to the rap jam 

She's sweet as brown sugar with candied yams 

Honey-coated complexion 

Music camay 

Let's hear it for the girl 

She's from around the way 

I need that around the way girl (Around the way girl) 

That's the one for me (She's the one) 

I need that around the way girl 

Ya gotta shook up, shook down, shook up all your lovin' 

Silky, bilky 

Your smiles' like sunshine 

That's why I had to dedicate at least one rhyme 

To all the cuties in the neighborhood 

'Cause if I didn't tell you, then another brother would 

You're sweet like sugar with your gangsta talk 

Wanna eat you like a cookie when I see you walk 

With your rayon, silk, or maybe even denim 

It really doesn't matter as long as your in 'em 

You can break hearts and manipulate minds 

Or surrender, act tender 

Be gentle and kind 

You always know what to say and do 

Go flip when you think your man is playing 

No cheap or petty 

You're ready for loving 

You're real independent, so your parents be buggin' 

But if you ever need a place to stay 

Come around my way 

I need that around the way girl (Around the way girl) 

That's the one for me (She's the only one) 

I need that around the way girl 

Ya gotta shook up, shook down, shook up all your lovin' 

Perm in your hair, or even a curly weave 

With your New Edition/Bobby Brown button on your sleeve 

I tell you come here 

You say meet me half way 

'Cause brothers been poppin' that yang all day 

Around the way, you're like neighborhood jewel 

All the homeboys sweat ya, so you're crazy cool 

Wear your gold in the summer with your biking shorts 

While your watchin' all the brothers on the basketball court 

Goin' to the movies with your homegirl's crew 

While the businessmen in suits be hawkin' you 

Baby hair pumpin', lip gloss a-shinin' 

I think you're in the mood for whinin' and dinin' 

So we can go out and eat somewhere 

We got a lot of private jokes to share 

Lisa, Angela, Pamela, Renee 

I love you, you're from around the way 

I need that around the way girl (Around the way girl) 

That's the one for me (She's all I ever need) 

I need that around the way girl (Around the way girl) 

Fine as can be (She's all I ever need) 

I need that around the way girl (Around the way girl) 

That's the one for me (She's the only one) 

I need that around the way girl (Around the way girl) 

Fine as can be 

Ya gotta shook up, shook down, shook up all your lovin' 

Ya gotta shook up, shook down, shook up 

Ya gotta shook up, shook down, shook up all your lovin' 

Ya gotta shook up, shook down, shook up 

Ya gotta shook up, shook down, shook up all your lovin' 

Ya gotta shook up, shook down, shook up
