[Chorus: Ludacris & Doug E. Fresh]

Baby^✦ girl, won't you come and hold my hand?

Won't you come and just chill with the Virgo?^✦ (That's right)

Hey, girl, just come and hold my hand (uh-huh)

Won't you come and chill out with the Virgo?^✦ (Tell 'em, tell 'em)

We sippin'^✦ on Merlot,^✦ you ain't got be my girl though

I drop you off at Peachtree and Myrtle (Ugh!)

Smash with the Virgo,^✦ you ain't got take your shirt off

You seen me convince^✦ your homegirl^✦ though (ooh! ooh!)

[Verse 2: Ludacris & Doug E. Fresh]

Now I was, so fresh and so fly in diamonds

When I stepped up in the club, even^✦ my eyes was shinin'^✦ (bling)

Little cute thing, said, "What's yo' name?"

I put my necklace in her face and told her "Read the chain!" (woo!)

"Ooh-ooh,^✦ so stuck up," told me "Shut the fuck up"

BLAOW! Ludacris^✦ in the how-oooh-ouse!

The needle hit the record,^✦ they was playin' this song

All the ladies^✦ hit the floor and it was uh-uh–on^✦ (ugh!)

Live forever like 'Fame', let the Leroys dance

While I'm laid back, chillin' in my b-boy stance (c'mon!)

Could be a little pop lockin',^✦ if your girl's top droppin' (yeah)

But watch for cockblockin', on my coochie stock options (woo!)

But later^✦ for the ASSDAQ, throw 'em on the fast track

Make 'em swip-swap; Nasty^✦ N-A-S, pass that

Honey^✦ in the black, 'cause I'm feelin'^✦ her curves^✦

He looked down at what I had and said, "W-w–word!" (ugh!)

Why only^✦ serve one when we can serve up two?

Then at the bachelor pad, doin' what the Virgos do

And these women^✦ so shy but get loud undercover

So we can have sex, but I can't be your loverrrrrr

Buck! buck! buck! buck! buck! buck!

Ah, ah-ha-ha,^✦ ah-ha-ha,^✦ ah-ha^✦ ah ah-ah,^✦ SING! (UGH!)

[Chorus: Doug E. Fresh]

Baby^✦ girl, won't you come and hold my hand?

Won't you come and just chill with the Virgo?^✦ (c'mon!)

Baby^✦ girl, won't you come and hold my hand?

Won't you come and chill out with the Virgo?^✦ (ugh!)

We sippin^✦ on Merlot,^✦ you ain't got be my girl though (that's right!)

I drop you off at Two-Fifth and Lex-o^✦ (rmmmm!)

Smash with the Virgo,^✦ you ain't got take your shirt off

Seen you convince^✦ your homegirl^✦ though

Ayo, ugh!

[Outro: Doug E. Fresh]

They got my voice for the record^✦ and my voice for the beat

Virgo^✦ crew, baby,^✦ run the streets

So let's go (let's go), let's go (for the beat)

Let's go (Virgo^✦ crew), it's the Virgo^✦

Let's go (Nasty^✦ Nas), let's go (Ludacris)^✦

And if you don't know, now you know (Doug Fresh!)

Critic Analysis

RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Ludacris utilizes a high-energy, rhythmic delivery style that prioritizes phonetic play and internal rhyme density over dense lyrical complexity, leaning into the lighthearted club-oriented subgenre of the era.

Delivery

Multisyllabic internal rhyme stringsPhonetic playBrand-metaphor constructionConversational call-and-response integration

Rhyme Architecture: Ludacris employs an AABB-adjacent structure punctuated by heavy use of internal multisyllabic clusters, focusing on landing rhymes on the secondary beats of each bar to drive a dance-forward groove.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"coochie stock options"

① A metaphorical reference to the availability and 'market' of women present in the club.② A play on the high-frequency financial trading term 'stock options', suggesting speculative acquisition of intimacy.

"ASSDAQ"

① A vulgarized version of the NASDAQ stock exchange.② A metaphorical 'exchange' for the sexual assets he is discussing, maintaining the 'stock market' wordplay established in the previous bar.

Exceptional rhythmic pocket and energy

Strong command of cadence variation

Highly infectious, performance-ready flow

Coherent thematic consistency

Lyrical content relies heavily on tropes of the era

Vocabulary breadth is limited by the club-rap format

Lack of complex multi-layered thematic depth
