Blue:
Tell her I'll have on some gym socks and a backstage pass from a Kool Moe Dee concert. Blue: Tell her I'll be wearing cowboy boots with some click-clacks around my neck. Blue: Tell her I'll be butt naked with a belt on, and a beeper, and some Blu-Blockers. Blue: Tell her I'ma be butt naked with a 'Bout It radio sticker sign on my ass. And a gold necklace. And a class ring. Blue: Tell her I'ma be asshole naked with some handcuffs and a whip, and a hula skirt. And a saddle on my back. And a big-ass NFL hat on. See more » |
