[Verse 1: Tiwa Savage]
Walking down the road in southern Mississippi
Me and my girls are looking good
Saw a fly boy, he was looking at me
Then he came and said "Hey, what's good?"
"Hey, pretty girl with the big big booty
What you doing in my hood?"
He said, "I like your face and your girlfriends too
And I like your pretty tattoos, oh oh"
Check it, he's checking me out
You know about the African girls
Do you have what it takes, can you handle this
Can you handle the African curves
If you really wanna dance
I'ma give you a chance
I'ma show you some African moves
We can do Skelewu, Galala, ma Makossa, or Godwin
Any one you wan do
[Refrain: Don Jazzy & Tiwa Savage]
Huh, eh, na so
Eh, control
Eh, na so
Eh, yuh
Eh, na so
Eh, control
Eh, it's all about the waist, na so
[Hook: Don Jazzy & Tiwa Savage]
African waist
