(Verse 1.)
That's right I
Wanna take my time
To express my mind
While I spit this rhyme
In your ear.
I came to dance,
You came to dance,
And baby that much is clear.
Love when you walk it out.
You know what I'm talkin’ ‘bout.
Girl you got that (pow wow).
Yes, you got that ( pow wow).
Like how now (brown cow).
Girl, you got that pow wow.
You the kitty,
I'm the dogg,
And yes I got that bow wow.
(Woof!)
Love when you walk it out.
(Woof!)
You know what I'm talking ‘bout.
Girl, you got that (pow wow),
and yes I got that. . .
(Hook.)
First we get ‘em with that Uh! (Uh!)
Then we hit ‘em with that Pow! (Pow!)
And they all like Wow! (Wow!)
Boom boom boom boom boom.

Then we hit ‘em with that Pow! (Pow!)
And they all like Wow! (Wow!)
Boom boom boom boom boom.
The we drop it.
(Verse 2.)
It's that P.O.W.
You's a prisoner of war.
We got you lock on this beat
‘Til you set free on that floor.
Dance, dance,
Like you got the Parkinsons,
When you walkin’ in,
Your body bend.
Pow Wow.
Beat's so sweat.
Hit your ears.
Rot your teeth.
(Bridge.)
With that uh pow wow.
Drop it on ‘em.
Drop it on ‘em.
With that uh pow wow.

The night away.
(Hook.)
First we get ‘em with that Uh! (Uh!)
Then we hit ‘em with that Pow! (Pow!)
And they all like Wow! (Wow!)
Boom boom boom boom boom.

Light some candles.

And show it off.

(Outro.)
Hey, Rich, that girl gave me her room key.
What? The one from the bachelorette party?
Fo’ sho’, fo’ sho’.
And you know what they say. . .
It’s that How Now

(Say what?!)
And if your girl
Starts actin’ up,
It’s ‘cause she’s rollin’ with
Chalkskin.
