I want a girl with extensions in her hair,
bamboo earrings at least to pair,
a Fendi bag and a bad attitude.
That's all I need to get me in a good mood.
She can walk with a switch and talk with street slang.
I love it when a woman ain't scared to do a thing.
Standing at the bus stop, sucking on a lollipop.
Once she gets pumping,
it's hard to make the hottie stop.
She likes to dance to the rap jam.
She's sweet as brown sugar with canned yams.
Honey coated complexion, using cannabis.
Let's see it for the girls,
she's from around the way.
I need an around the way girl.
That's the one for me.
Silky milky, her smile is like sunshine.
That's why I had to dedicate at least one
rhyme to all the cuties in the neighborhood.
Because if I didn't tell you then another brother would.
You're sweet like sugar with your gangster talk.
I want to eat you like a cookie when I see you walk.
With your rayon silk or maybe even denim.
It really doesn't matter as long as you're in them.
You can break hearts and manipulate minds.
Or surrender, act tender, be gentle and kind.
You always know what to say and do.
Go flip when you think your man is playing you.
Not cheap or petty, you're ready for loving.
You're real independent so your parents be bugging.
But if you ever need a place to stay,
come around my way.
I need an around the way girl.
That's the one for me.
I need an around the way girl.
Even a curly weave with your new edition
Bobby Brown button on your sleeve.
I tell you come here, you say meet me halfway.
Cause brother's been popping that gang all day.
Around the way you're like a neighborhood jewel.
All the homeboys sweat you so you're crazy cool.
Wear your gold in the summer with your bikin suits.
While you're watching all the brothers on the basketball court.
Going to the movies with your homegirls crew.
While the businessmen in suits be hawking you.
Baby hair pumping, lip gloss is shining.
I think you're in the mood for whining and dining.
So we can go out and eat somewhere.
We got a lot of private jokes to share.
Lisa, Angela, Pamela, Renee, I love you.
You're from around the way.
I need an around
the way girl.
That's the one for me.
I need an around the way girl.
She's all I am.
