Birthday

(album: Love Jones - 2005)

It's your birthday shawty!

[Verse 1:]
I know you feel much lighter, so much brighter, game much tighter
But yo game done shifted, now you spit the scriptures to the sistas
People like man that's you? Lost some weight, got a new hairdo?
Naw, not my hair, not my shirt, 20 something years old, celebratin new birth.
Man, it's your birthday shawty, I understand why you be the crunkest in the party
I understand why you been praising crazy.
Should've been dead, you're alive that's amazing
Now you bout to spread it, tell all your people
Jesus Christ accepted everywhere like a Visa
Ray-Ray, Jon-Jon, Shay-Shay, Lisa
Deliver what you got to the hood like a pizza.

[Chorus:]
It's yo birthday shawty
It's yo birthday shawty
It's yo birthday shawty
It's yo birthday shawty
It's yo birthday shawty
I'ma help you celebrate yo birthday shawty

[Verse 2:]
1, 2, 1, 2
Now you saved and you look like new
Many called you are the chosen few, do your dance on the improptu.
Hay! What can I say? From ATL to the FLA
Evrythings gonna be okay, born again now it's yo birthday

[Pre-hook:]
That day, that day, that day
Took all yo sins away, not the same rearranged feel good
Now go tell everybody in the hood
Cause when they take one look at you
They gon say "He can save you, save me too"
You can be saved and still be hard, ride 32's and still love God

[Chorus:]
It's yo birthday shawty
It's yo birthday shawty
It's yo birthday shawty
It's yo birthday shawty
It's yo birthday shawty
I'ma help you celebrate yo birthday shawty

[Verse 3:]
Hay! Let's go get down. Party like you got a cap and gown.
People jealous they hate on you, but it's too late so what they gon do.
Hay! It's your birthday so, the things you did, you don't do no more
And he's got so many things in store, so everybody let's hit the floor

[Pre-hook:]
That day, that day, that day
Took all yo sins away, not the same rearranged feel good
Now go tell everybody in the hood
Cause when they take one look at you
They gon say "He can save you, save me too"
You can be saved and still be hard, ride 32's and still love God

[Chorus:]
It's yo birthday shawty
It's yo birthday shawty
It's yo birthday shawty
It's yo birthday shawty
It's yo birthday shawty
I'ma help you celebrate yo birthday shawty
