Best Dress

(album: Todd Smith - 2006)

[LL Cool J (Jamie Foxx):]
Hey, hey, (ooh), hey, hey

[Jamie Foxx (LL Cool J) {Both}:]
We gon' get it popping now, girl
{Get your best dress on tonight} (hey, hey, hey! Uh)
Once we start it ain't no stopping, girl
{Get your best dress on tonight} (hey, hey, hey! Uh)
This is for the girls
With all those ghetto curves (hey, hey, hey!)
But we gon' keep it popping now, girl
{Get your best dress on tonight} (hey, hey, hey!)

54-11's popping wheelies front of Willyburgers
Candy apple M3's, sliding out gently
Rolling up in Bentleys, Tyson was the champ then
Right after the Rooftop, years before the Hamptons
{You was a ghetto queen and a diamond in the rough}
You was so beautiful and the world was so rough
Your man was locked up 'cause the cops popped up
You dropped out of school on top of that you knocked up
{He was yo' crush, you was his crutch}
He'll be gone a dime and it's hard to stay in touch
Your moms say you stupid but {you love him so much} (ooh)
Now it's, broken dreams and broken Beemers in the dust
Standing up on a crowded bus, for college courses
Stay on course when it gets rough, you never lost it
Stay strong baby trust, you'll be back flossing
Diamond studs and linen crush, {keep your head up}

Her boyfriend's coming through with them hickeys on his neck
He claims he's loving her but never shows her no respect
All she knows is neglect, a lifetime of stress
Big mamma, her mamma, now lil' mamma is next
You can see the effects of getting treated incorrect
'Cause she let the cycle continue, make excuses for his steps
Her girlfriends tried to warn her, all he wanted was the sex
Once he get it, then he gone, then it's on to something fresh
Something new, nutting borrowed, nutting blue, no wedding dress
But that's aight, you still young, you got your lifetime left
(You gotta leave all that alone), find yourself
There's no love until you love you, remind yourself

{To all my ghetto girls all around the world}
You know the ones with the weaves and the Shirley Temple curls
Keep fighting, uh
Baby girl keep fighting, yeah
{To all my ghetto queens survivin'} by all means
There's a rock and a hard place you somewhere in between
{Baby girl keep fightin'}, uh
{Baby girl keep fightin'}, yeah
{To all my single mommas} you been struggling with drama (ooh)
Doing what you gotta but still keeping your honor
{Baby girl keep fightin'}, uh
{Baby girl keep fightin'}, yeah yeah, sing it
