Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woo, uh, uh, bounce is back
Your boy is back
(Sexy, sexy) I know y'all missed the bounce
You need to bounce for the sexy, you know?
Let's get it in
[Verse 2]
Yeah, ma, your dude is back, the Maybach roof is back
Tell the whole world the truth is back
You ain't gotta argue about who can rap
'Cause the truth is back, just go through my raps
(New York, New York) Yeah, where my troopers at?
Where my hustlers? Where my boosters at?
I don't care what you do for stacks
I know the world glued your back to the wall
You gotta brawl, do that
I been through that, been shot at, shoot back
Gotta keep a peace like a Buddhist
I ain't a New Jack, nobody gon' Wesley Snipe me
It's less than likely, move back
Let I breathe, Jedi knight
The more space I get, the better I write, oh
Never I write, but if ever I write
I need the space to say whatever I like, now just
[Verse 3]
(Change clothes and go)
You know I stay fresh to death, a boy from the projects
And I'ma take you to the top of the globe, so let's go
(So let's exchange numbers and go)
And girl, I promise you, no substitutes, it's just me
[Verse 4]
And I ain't gon' tell you again, let's get ghost in the Phantom
You can bring your friend, we can make this a tandem
Or you can come by yourself, or you could stand 'em
Best believe, I sweat out weaves
Give afro puffs like R-A-G-E
All you get if you can move it
Back it on up like a U-Haul truck
Then run and tell them ducks you heard Hovi new shit
He and the boy Pharrell make beautiful music
He is to the East coast what Snoop is to the West coast
What Face is to Houston
Young Hov in the house is so necessary
No bra with that blouse, that's so necessary
No panties and jeans, that's so necessary
Now why you frontin' on me? Is that necessary?
Do I to you look like a lame
Who don't understand a broad with a mean shoe game?
Who's up on dot, dot, dot and Very Wang
Ma, are you insane? Let's just (What you want me to do?)
[Verse 5]
(Change clothes and go)
You know I stay fresh to death, a boy from the projects
And I'ma take you to the top of the globe, so let's go
(So let's exchange numbers and go)
And girl, I promise you, no substitutes, it's just me
[Verse 6]
(Ha, ha, sexy, sexy)
(Ha, ha, sexy, sexy) So necessary, ma
(Ha, ha, sexy, sexy) Woo, that's right
It's a groove
(Ha, ha, sexy, sexy) It's a groove, bring it back
[Verse 7]
(Ha, ha) Young Hov in the house is so necessary
No bra with that blouse, that's so necessary
No panties and jeans, that's so necessary
Why you frontin' on me?
[Verse 8]
Let's go to my hotel 'cause this don't go well
With those S dots, gotta stay fresh, ma
Ma, I don't shop where the rest buy
Ho, no, ma, please respect my
Jiggy, this is probably purple label
Or that BBC shit, or it's probably tailored
And y'all **** actin' way too tough
Throw on a suit, get it tapered up, and let's just
[Verse 9]
(Change clothes and go)
You know I stay fresh to death, a boy from the projects
And I'ma take you to the top of the globe, so let's go
(So let's exchange numbers and go)
Uh, huh, yeah
And girl, I promise you, no substitutes, it's just me
[Verse 10]
(Ha, ha, sexy, sexy) Woo, sing along
(Ha, ha, sexy, sexy) Yeah, uh, turn your radio up
(Ha, ha, sexy, sexy) Woo, put your hands in the air if you're in the club
(Ha, ha, sexy, sexy) Snap your fingers now, uh, woo
(Ha, ha) Your boy is back
The bounce is back, woo
Young is back, peace
