Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Don't you give up)
(Keep going, keep going, keep going)
(Don't you give up)
(Keep going, keep going, keep going)
[Verse 2]
If you're not ready
Better get yourself together
Gon' funk you up, we gon' funk you up
[Verse 3]
Love of my life (Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
(Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
Love of my life (Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
(Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
Love of my life
[Verse 4]
Freak, freak, da freak, da funk, funk
Separate the good stuff from the junk
And then I bang, bang the bump, the bump, girl
My name is Apples and I rock your world
Worldwide, do your math
Thirty, twenty-six, thirty-six and a half
I hope that you will realize
I got the hazel eyes that make you naturefied
Step in the back and step to the front
Come alive y'all, I'll give you what you want
The rhymes, I got plenty
Degrees, one-twenty
And if you want some, then jump the fuck in
[Verse 5]
Love of my life (Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
(Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
Love of my life (Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
[Verse 6]
I'd like to introduce myself
Queen L-A-T-I-F-A-H in command
Jersey, what's poppin?
We ain't gon' stop, and
Keep them heads boppin', the remix droppin'
Big girl, big trucks, big rims, whip up
Black see for you only got my back, shut your lip up
Doin' it, turn it up, woo, we gon' burn it up
Take another pull and pass out on the furniture
Hip-hop part of me, I just wanna party
Grab somebody, sing La-di-da-di
87-P La, suits to di dor dora
2K nevers is a bella fiora
Erykah, Angie, me, Bahamadia
Know it feels right, it's the
[Verse 7]
Love of my life (Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
(Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
Love of my life
[Verse 8]
Now, before I bring you into the zone
I think I better let you know that I am Angie Stone
I put the pen to the paper, things gotta change up
I wanna sing, but I think I better hold up
B got beehive, Boo's got a low ride
Can't stop, won't stop, rockin' till I die
As I flip the hip-hop drops on ya
Skill fo' real, soul singer
With Erykah, Lat' and Bahamadia
Original Cheryl the Pearl
Angie B, hey, that's me
I can rock so dangerously
[Verse 9]
Love of my life (Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
(Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
Love of my life
[Verse 10]
Tourist of real and my name's Bahamadia
Can't a chick in the game get it done like me
Hmm, I been changed by G-O-D
To show the whole wide world the meaning of MC
Look, I be in love with a thing called Hip-Hop
We go together like b-boys and shell tops
And you don't stop because we can't quit
My whole intention is to build and to uplift
I be the ultimate in microphone disses
Soloist with the illa dope accent
A living legend, baby, throw me on the track, and
I'm guaranteed, Bahamadia get it crackin'
[Verse 11]
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up
Sit back down
[Verse 12]
Yo, right on up
We gonna funk you right on up
(We gon' funk you up, boy)
Funk you right on up
We gon' funk you right on up
[Verse 13]
If you're not ready
Better get yourself together
Funk you up, we gon' funk you up
We gon' have a real good time
Don't care about the weather
Gon' funk you up, we gon' funk you up
[Verse 14]
Love of my life
You are my friend
I can depend
Love of my life
Without you, baby
Feels like a simple true love
Yeah, but shit isn't clear
[Verse 15]
Love of my life (Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
But shit isn't clear (Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
(Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
(Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
(Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
(Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
(Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
(Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
[Verse 16]
If you're not ready
Better get yourself together
Gon' funk you up, we gon' funk you up
We gon' have a real good time
Don't care about the weather
Gon' funk you up, we gon' funk you up
[Verse 17]
(Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)
(Ring ding dong, ring-a ding ding ding dong)...
