Yeah yeah yeah
 
 Oooooohh
 
 Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah yeah yeah
 
 Let me tell you a story now
 
  
  [verse one]
 
 I was in front of the apollo on amateur night
 
 It was after the show, and the moon was right
 
 The {?} was really perked off the red zone
 
 I was in my mpv, i was all alone
 
 A lot of out-of-town people askin me for
 
 My john hancock or my signature
 
 I gave it to, all of them cause i was down to earth
 
 And plus the apollo is my home turf
 
 So i walked across the street 'til i'm on, 125
 
 I saw this pair of shoes that was really live
 
 It wasn't just a pair of shoes, that was on her
 
 From the ground up, she looked like a plate of lasagna
 
 I said, "hey shorty, not you, your hair"
 
 She turned around slowly and started to stare
 
 She said, "why don'tcha take picture, it'll last a lil' longer?"
 
 Me likin you grew a little bit stronger
 
 She asked me what's my name i said, "emmezah emmezah"
 
 "the name that your momma gave ya is what i prefer"
 
 She asked me what am i drivin, and how is my health
 
 I know what you're really thinkin baby, let me tell you!
  
 
 [chorus one - biz singing]
 
 I can do bad by myself
 
 I don't need no help, to starve to death
 
 I can do that alone
 
 I can do bad by myself
 
 I don't need no help, to starve to death
 
 I ain't tryin to be funny honey
  
 
 [verse two]
 
 She started arguin with me, and say she's not like that
 
 I know who you are, i don't care if you're livin fat
 
 Because i have a mother and father that take care of me
 
 And i'm livin in long island with a j-o-b
 
 Okay okay i got you wrong, i must admit
 
 I'ma give you a little time to see if you're legit
 
 So we started goin out on a regular basis
 
 I was takin her to the movies and my hangout,
