[Intro: Jermaine Dupri]
L-B, Dub
Y'all know what this is
[Chorus: Chris Brown, Johntá Austin]
Only thing that keeps me up (Ha) when I'm feeling down
I don't know about you, but I gotta keep mines around
'Cause I done looked, I done searched, and it's hard to find
Another shortie like mine (Uh-huh), baby, yes, I'm
Addicted to how we kick it, everything you say to me (This is going out to all the shorties around the world)
Never knew it could be so wicked, hoping that you stay with me
Search around the world but you will never find (Uh)
Another shortie like mine (C'mon), shortie like mine
[Post-Chorus: Bow Wow, Chris Brown, Johntá Austin]
I tell my niggas that, uh
You got a girl but she ain't nothing like mine (Uh)
Cute face, nice size like mine
Stay kitted, hood with it like mine (Ha)
Mean walk, talk the talk, let me tell you some more (Woo)
[Verse 1: Bow Wow, Johntá Austin]
I knew that when I ran into this one
She would be the redrum of my pimpin' (Uh-huh)
Knew she would be the one to make me stop
Carin' about other girls on my jock and gettin' them (Oh)
She was the one to slow me down, hold me down
I roll with it know
Go with it now, I'ma grow with it now
I'ma go get it, that's how I got her (Let's go)
Don't be mad you can't get one hotter (Uh-huh)
Broke the mold when they made lil' momma (Uh)
I don't care what my niggas say
She been there every day for my drama (C'mon)
Some of the homies hate 'cause they want her
Wish they the ones was datin' my woman (Oh)
Gon' get a good look 'cause she fine (Uh-huh)
And I don't mind 'cause she mine (Say what?)
[Chorus: Chris Brown, Johntá Austin]
Only thing that keeps me up (Up) when I'm feeling down (Yeah)
I don't know about you, but I gotta keep mines around
'Cause I done looked, I done searched, and it's hard to find
Another shortie like mine (Uh-huh), baby, yes, I'm (Ooh, and I'm so addicted)
Addicted to how we kick it, everything you say to me (Addicted to shawty, don't be afraid to snap your fingers)
Never knew it could be so wicked, hoping that you stay with me (Got her hoping, shortie)
Search around the world but you will never find
Another shortie like mine, shortie like mine (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
[Post-Chorus: Bow Wow, Chris Brown, Johntá Austin]
I tell my niggas that, uh
You got a girl but she ain't nothing like mine (Nah)
Cute face, nice size like mine (Yeah)
Stay kitted, hood with it like mine (Yeah)
Mean walk, talk, Chris, help me tell 'em wassup
[Verse 2: Chris Brown, Johntá Austin]
I got all this love inside of me
And all I wanna do is give it to her
(Break it down, break it down, break it down)
I don't care what the fellas say 'bout it (No, uh)
'Cause I got something to say 'bout it (Yeah, uh)
What I'm about to say is straight up
Real talk, no cut, I don't play 'bout it (Haha)
There ain't a price you can put on a girl who knows (Uh-huh)
Just what to say when you need to hear it the most
And I'ma tell you something else
If I don't know nothing else, I know
[Chorus: Chris Brown, Johntá Austin]
Only thing that keeps me up when I'm feeling down (Only thing that I need, yeah)
I don't know about you, but I gotta keep mines around (I gotta have it all)
'Cause I done looked, I done searched, and it's hard to find
Another shortie like mine (Hey), baby, yes, I'm
Addicted to how we kick it, everything you say to me (Oh, yeah-yeah)
Never knew it could be so wicked, hoping that you stay with me
Search around the world (Searching) but you will never find (Never find)
Another shortie like mine (Ha), shortie like mine

[Verse 3: Bow Wow, Johntá Austin]
I wanna give her the world
And I ain't ever tryna lose her (Uh-huh)
I'm addicted to my girl
And the way that she twirls in that little skirt (Uh-huh)
Just for me in the club, in the crib, in the streets
She reps for L-B, Dub, E-N-T
She a nice size with the pretty brown bright eyes
I'm a winner with the right prize (Come on)
I'ma give it to her to the rhythm of a hi-hat
She got a beautiful mind, you can't buy that (Nuh-uh)
And the sight from behind when she walk on by
Make a nigga wanna try that (Yeah)
She got the prettiest smile and she gangsta (Uh-huh)
Keep me from runnin' wild and I thank her
And we can talk about anythin', she got good conversation
My homie, little friend, and plus she patient (Oh)
[Chorus: Chris Brown, Johntá Austin, Chris Brown & Johntá Austin]
Only thing that keeps me up (Up) when I'm feeling down
I don't know about you, but I gotta keep mines around
'Cause I done looked, I done searched, and it's hard to find
Another shortie like mine (Like mine), baby, yes, I'm (Yes, I'm)
Addicted to how we kick it, everything you say to me (Everything)
Never knew it could be so wicked (You wicked, girl), hoping that you stay with me (And playboy)
You can search around the world but you will never find
Another shortie like mine (Ha), shortie like mine
[Post-Chorus: Bow Wow, Chris Brown, Johntá Austin]
I tell my niggas that, uh
You got a girl but she ain't nothing like mine
Cute face, nice size like mine (Oh, oh)
Stay kitted, hood with it like mine (Oh, oh)
Mean walk, talk the talk, let me tell you some more
[Outro: Chris Brown, Johntá Austin]
Only thing that keeps me up when I'm feeling down
I don't know about you (Uh-huh), but I gotta keep mines around (Uh-huh)
'Cause I done looked, I done searched, and it's hard to find
Another shortie like mine (That's right), baby, yes, I'm
Addicted to how we kick it, everything you say to me
Never knew it could be so wicked, hoping that you stay with me
