To be or not to be, not!
Hold up, bring the beat back
Stop! I ain't ready yet
Wait! Let me fix my hair, yes-yes
Yes ma'am (yes ma'am)
Now pass me my dress (yes)
I think I'm ready
Been locked up in the house way too long
It's time to get it
'Cause once again he's out doing wrong
And my girls are so real
Said it's been a minute since I had some
He's been acting up
But he won't be the only one
'Cause when he acts up, that's when you put it on
Get him uptight, this is your song
Hold out your back, time to impress
Pull out your freakum dress
(Oh-oh-oh) put your freakum dress on
(Oh-oh-oh) put your freakum dress on
(Oh-oh-oh) put your freakum dress on
(Oh-oh-oh) put your freakum dress on
(Oh-oh-oh) every woman got one
(Oh-oh-oh) shut it down when the time comes
(Oh-oh-oh) pull out the big guns
(Oh-oh-oh) and put your freakum dress on
Soon as he saw me
Turned on by how the dress was fittin' right
Short and backless (backless, backless)
See my silhouette in the moonlight
Such an attraction
Keep tellin' me how my outfit's so nice
Little did he know
Ha, my man gon' take it off tonight
'Cause when he acts up, that's when you put it on
Get him uptight, this is your song
Hold out your back, time to impress
Pull out your freakum dress
(Oh-oh-oh) put your freakum dress on
(Oh-oh-oh) put your freakum dress on
(Oh-oh-oh) put your freakum dress on
(Oh-oh-oh) put your freakum dress on
(Oh-oh-oh) every woman got one
(Oh-oh-oh) shut it down when the time comes
(Oh-oh-oh) pull out the big guns
(Oh-oh-oh) and put your freakum dress on
All the ladies, you ain't get all dressed up
In your dresses and your best digs with no reason
Get ready to freakum, freakum
When you put it on, it's an invitation
When they play your song, get on up and shake it (yeah)
Work it out your back, you don't have to waste it
Spin it all around then take it to the ground and
When you put it on, it's an invitation (hey!)
When they play your song, get on up and shake it (hey!)
Work it out your back, you don't have to waste it (hey!)
Spin it all around then take it to the ground
'Cause when he acts up, that's when you put it on
Get him uptight, this is your song
Hold out your back, time to impress
Pull out your freakum dress
(Oh-oh-oh) put your freakum dress on
(Oh-oh-oh) put your freakum dress on (freakum, freakum, freakum)
(Oh-oh-oh) put your freakum dress on (freakum, freakum, yeah)
(Oh-oh-oh) put your freakum dress on
(Oh-oh-oh) every woman got one (every woman got one)
(Oh-oh-oh) shut it down when the time comes (time has come)
(Oh-oh-oh) pull out the big guns
(Oh-oh-oh) and put your freakum dress on
Ladies, look it here
When you been with your man for a long time
Every now and then you gotta go in the back of that closet
And pull out that freakum dress, ha! (Oh-oh)
I got my freakum dress on
I got my freakum dress on (oh-oh)
I got my freakum dress on
I got my freakum dress on (oh-oh)
