Throw down some money^✦

The ice cream man is comin'^✦

Watch these rap niggas^✦ get all up in your guts

French vanilla,^✦ butter^✦ pecan,^✦ chocolate^✦ deluxe^✦

Even^✦ caramel^✦ sundaes^✦ is gettin'^✦ touched^✦ (the ice cream man is comin')^✦

And scooped^✦ in my ice cream truck, who tears it up

Yo, honey^✦ dip, summertime, fine Jheri^✦ drippin'

See you on Pitkins with a bunch of chickens how you're cliquin'

I kept shootin'^✦ strong notes^✦ as we got close

She rocked^✦ rope, honey^✦ throat smellin'^✦ like Impulse

Your whole shell baby's wicked^✦ like Nimrod^✦

Caught me like a fresh-water scrod, or may I not be God?

Attitude is very^✦ rude, boo, crabby^✦ like seafood

It turns me on like Vine's^✦ Cee Allah^✦ Rule

They call me Starky^✦ Love, hon', check the strategy

By any^✦ means, Shirley Temple cross was done by Billie Jean's

Black Misses^✦ America, your name is Erica,^✦ right, true

Lazy^✦ eyeball, small feet, six shoe

Caramel^✦ complexion, breath smellin'^✦ like cinnamon

Excuse^✦ me, hon', the Don mean no harm, turn around^✦ again^✦

Goddamn, backyard's bangin'^✦ like a Benzy^✦

If I was jiggy,^✦ you'd be spotted like Spuds McKenzie

I'm high powered, put Adina^✦ Howard^✦ to sleep

Yo, pardon,^✦ that bitch been on my mind all week, but, uh

Back to you Maybelline Queen, let's make a team

You can have anythin' in this world except^✦ cream

So what you wanna^✦ do? What you wanna^✦ do?

Let's go ahead and walk these dogs and represent Wu

Watch these rap niggas^✦ get all up in your guts

French vanilla,^✦ butter^✦ pecan,^✦ chocolate^✦ deluxe^✦ (throw down some money)^✦

Even^✦ caramel^✦ sundaes^✦ is gettin'^✦ touched^✦ (the ice cream man is comin')^✦

And scooped^✦ in my ice cream truck, who tears it up

Shaolin's finest,^✦ what up boo? Peace, Your Highness

Yo I'm loungin', big dick style, y'all niggas^✦ is the flyest

Moves^✦ you're makin',^✦ too fly jewels are shakin'^✦

Not a rape patient, you're lookin'^✦ good fly-colored Asian^✦

Ghettos, them is your hometown, we can go the whole round

After^✦ that, I'm shootin'^✦ downtown

I'm rockin'^✦ hats and your wig is all intact

Who's that queen bee chick, eyes pearly^✦ black?

Freaks be movin'^✦ in fly sneaks

Two finger^✦ rings and gold teeth, and ain't afraid to hold heat

So when I step in the square, dear

You better^✦ have cream to share

Ricans,^✦ ven aqui,^✦ yeah

Watch these rap niggas^✦ get all up in your guts

French vanilla,^✦ butter^✦ pecan,^✦ chocolate^✦ deluxe^✦

Even^✦ caramel^✦ sundaes^✦ is gettin'^✦ touched^✦ (the ice cream man is comin')^✦

Scooped^✦ in my ice cream truck, who tears it up

Black chocolate^✦ girl wonder,^✦ shake ground like thunder

Politic 'til your deficit step, gimme your number^✦

Your sexy^✦ persuasive ta-ta's^✦ and thighs

Catch my eyes like highs, I want your bodily^✦ surprise

Double dime some time, ice cream you got me fallin'^✦ out

Like a cripple, I love you like I love my dick size

Ooh, baby,^✦ I miss you

Your sweet tender^✦ touches

Take pulls off the Dutches^✦

Orgasm in my mindstate,^✦ masterbate^✦ in your clutches^✦

I want you for self

Like wealth, so play me closely

Bitches^✦ paranoia for the sting, who want the most of me

Only^✦ a hard dozen^✦ wanna^✦ be callin'^✦ me cousin^✦

Thirsty for my catalog, baby,^✦ shoppin' spree you're lovin'^✦

Call me if you wanna^✦ get dug like the pockets^✦

I jizz 'em like a giant, break wombs outta^✦ the sockets^✦

Wu-tang in the cut, for real niggaz what?

It's the after^✦ party^✦ and bitches^✦ want to fuck

Watch these rap niggas^✦ get all up in your guts

French vanilla,^✦ butter^✦ pecan,^✦ chocolate^✦ deluxe^✦

Ice cold bitches^✦ melt down when in my clutch

And what they titties^✦ sucked,^✦ ice cream
