[Hook]
Ooh baby✦ let me fix my weave
Touch me up and let me fix my weave
You could pick me up about✦ a quarter✦ to 3
Before✦ I walk in the club I gotta✦ fix my weave
(Oohwee) Baby✦ fix my weave
Baby✦ baby✦ let me fix my weave
On the highway✦ I do above✦ 90
(woo-woo)✦ pull me over✦ get the fake ID
[Verse 2]
I used✦ to date a guy named✦ Chris
Sloppy✦ with the kiss
But he was good with the tongue
I called✦ him Mr. Young One
Mr. Young One had a big ding-dong
Balls the size of ping-pong
I had him souped✦ like won-ton✦
I put the beat on
And on my ass he skeet on
I put the heat on young gun
Fresh meat he season✦
Yes, yes we used✦ to creep down the beach
He was insane✦ like Rick James✦
And with a mask he's Superfreak
I told him, "Gimme cash to fix my weave
And I don't want no excuses 'bout your baby✦ mommy✦
Cause your child support money✦ don't fix my weave
And you know nigga✦ please me no fuck for free."
[Hook]
Ooh baby✦ let me fix my weave
Touch me up and let me fix my weave
You could pick me up about✦ a quarter✦ to 3
Before✦ I walk in the club I gotta✦ fix my weave
(Oh) Baby✦ fix my weave
Baby✦ baby✦ let me fix my weave
On the highway✦ I do above✦ 90
(woo-woo)✦ pull me over✦ get the fake ID
[Verse 3]
I got a call from Joe
He used✦ to call me J.Lo
Hey-lo,✦ how you doing?
Used✦ to ask who I was screwing
Joe was pursuing
Sex was good all "ooh-in"✦
Moan he was grown
He would fuck me 'til the mo'nin'✦
I used✦ to get vex when he would sex another bitch
Said "Baby✦ don't trip, just like Ben I'm rich"
Jen don't bitch, then Miss don't bitch
Lopez get rich, call me Miss Affleck
I tell him, "Baby✦ I need a new weave
Because my tracks feel whack, I want to hit the party✦
You want to play like Ben then give me your keys
Cause even✦ Jen drive a Benz to go fix a weave."
[Hook]
Ooh baby✦ let me fix my weave
Touch me up and let me fix my weave
You could pick me up about✦ a quarter✦ to 3
Before✦ I walk in the club I gotta✦ fix my weave
(Oh) Baby✦ fix my weave
Baby✦ baby✦ let me fix my weave
On the highway✦ I do above✦ 90
(woo-woo)✦ pull me over✦ get the fake ID
[Outro]
To the heavy✦ weave cities✦
Miami, Jersey,✦ D.C., the Carolinas, Detroit, Louisville, Ohio,✦ to all the
Projects
To the beauty✦ salons,✦ and curling irons✦ stitching in that ? hair
Okay,✦ oohwee yeah fix your weave
Straight up like a perm you heard
