5. Lyrics: “Yeah” Watch out! My outfit's ridiculous, In the club lookin' so conspicuous. And Rowl! These women all on the prowl, if you hold the head steady I'm a milk the cow. Forget about the game I'm a spit the truth, I won't stop till I get em in they birthday suits. So gimmie the rhythm and it'll be off with they clothes, then bend over to the front and touch your toes. I left the jag and I took the roles, if they aint cutting then I put em on foot patrol. How you like me now, when my pinky's valued over three hundred thousand, Lets drank you the one to please, Ludacris fill cups like double d's. Me and Ush once more and we leave em dead, we want a lady in the street but a freak in the bed to say “Yeah…”

6. Questions Is it okay to use the “N” word to describe black people when they use it to describe themselves? – What are the implications of using such a word? (i.e. the “N” word; cracker; spic; chink; etc.) Is it bad for women to be considered provocative or forward? – (Yeah: “…women on the prowl…”) Why or why not?
