Yeah
Funky!✦ Uh
Yeah
Yo, let me tell you 'bout a girl named✦ Peg
A D.C. haircut and stewardess legs
Dressed✦ to kill, her physique is ill
Her face belongs on a dollar bill
Her boyfriend's down with the M-O-B
Drivin✦ around✦ in a 300e
Trunk jewelry and all that
Talkin✦ 'bout, "My man can't fall, black!"
Sippin✦ on cham', diamonds on her hand
Takin✦ cash, carryin drugs for her man
Drivin✦ around✦ in a kitted✦ up Jetta✦
Under✦ the seat a automatic Beretta
You know, the whole blasé blah of rap
Tellin✦ brothers they need to get off the bra strap
That's the type of girl she is
Word to Miz, she got the
Full length blue fox, knock you out the box
Big rocks, this girl is hype, pops
The type of girl that cold did son wrong
She got the face that you wanna✦ spend money✦ on
Her man be smackin her up
Yeah, backin✦ her up to the wall
"Get undressed,✦ where you goin?
You ain't playin me out with that hoein
Look in the mirror, check the jewels
Silly✦ rabbit, you know the rules"✦
But he had to leave on another deal
So she's out there with sex appeal✦
It's the weekend, time for freakin,✦ she's sneakin✦
Outside,✦ tellin✦ her home girls, "We can
Do the do, with whoever we want to
Cause we're the fly girl crew"
Not knowin✦ her man messed✦ up the money✦
Ridin✦ around,✦ thinkin everything's funny✦
Went in a disco, came outside✦
Somebody pushed✦ her in a beat up ride
She had to pay for her man's mistakes
They shot her in the head
That's the breaks
