    by: Kelis

    ...Let's go...
    I've been lovin' u for here long knowin' I was never clear
    But I have no fear today cause I'm gonna say
    What I gotta say, I don't wanna play the role
    Bustin' through the door, I'm gonna take ur heart fo' sure, oh
    Put ur hands up in the air, it's a stick up
    I'm gon take ur heart from here, now let's fix up
    Put ur hands in the air, in the air, in the air
    I'm gonna play my cards from here
    And take this gamble sure
    My words are gonna fumble, but this beat is mighty humble
    Ain't goin nowhere, sure I'm scared but my life's a dare
    And baby u just got so much flare, we'll be the perfect pair
    I'm gonna share my mind with u, u've been blinded
    My life's been blue, I'm takin u, I'm takin u
    Put ur hands up in the air, it's a stick up
    I'm gon take ur heart from here, now let's fix up
    Put ur hands in the air, in the air, in the air
    Put ur hands up in the air, it's a stick up
    I'm gon take ur heart from here, now let's fix up
    Put ur hands in the air, in the air, in the air
    In the air, in the air, in the air
    When I first met u, I wanted to wet u
    Not a gun but a different content, sexual
    U tried to run, I still get u
    Steel metal not needed, a whole 'nother meaning
    Don't want ur gold, want ur soul
    Control ur heartbeatin, cause when I start squeezin that muscle
    That's the trigger, than I got u nigga, in ya
    Chopper spinners, got ur bodyguards wit cha
    Diamond dog tag chain swingin, I had them thangs ringin
    This is a robbery, no one's gettin free
    Till that man, he comes with me
    Put ur hands up in the air, it's a stick up
    I'm gon take ur heart from here, now let's fix up
