Em
Well she's got a hotty body, but her attitude is potty

I said "Shorty, would you call me?"

She said "Pardon me, are you ballin'?"
Bm
I said "Darling, you sound like a prostitute pausing"

Oh so you're one them freaks, get geeked at the sight of an ATM receipt

But game been peeped, dropping names she's weak
D                                           C                             B7
Trickin' off this bitch is lost, Must take me for a geek

Em
A quick way to eat, a neat place sleep,
D
A rent-a-car for a week, a trick for a treat
C
No go on the raw sex, my AIDS test is flawless
F
Regardless, we don't want to get involved with all them lawyers
Em
And judges just to hold grudges in a courtroom
D                                               F    C      B7
I wanna see ya support bra not support you!

[Ulangi Chorus] x2

Better come back down to Mars

Girl, quit chasin' cars

What happens when the dough get so low

No way.. no way.. no way
