Oh
Listen, baby

See, there's this girl that I know
And she's more (more than average, she's a perfect ten)
Don't really know how to handle someone who (wants to put her on, make her number one)
She's so used to that mentality
Got to hustle hard, riding in the streets
That's so crazy
Somebody's baby
Going through these things
But I've got love for you, and I want to show you, girl
Oh, your friends don't like me
For real, though (baby girl)
They say I'm no good for you (oh)
They're jealous 'cause you finally found a good lover
Who only wants the best for you

I'm tryin' to take you out the hood
Show you something good
Make sure you're okay
Everything is great (everything is great)
You're a superstar
You deserve it all
More than just a ghetto queen (more than just a ghetto queen)
Want to put you into diamonds
Take you to the islands
Show you everything
You ain't never seen
Just let me take you out the hood, babe
Let me take you out the hood, baby (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Girl, let me change your world for you, babe
Take you out the hood

Tell me, have you ever seen (white sand on a private beach)?
Tell me, did you want to go somewhere (somewhere you've seen on TV)?
Well, girl, I've got the means to take you anywhere
So don't let your friends cause you to be afraid
They're just lonely
And you're the only
Only thing that matters to me
Even my homies - they gang on me
'Cause they think they could do it for me
Your friends don't like me (your friends don't like me, for real)
For real, though
They say I'm no good for you (oh)
They're jealous 'cause you finally found a good lover (They are)
Someone that wants the best for you (oh)

I'm tryin' to take you out the hood
Show you something good (baby)
Make sure you're okay
Everything is great (oh baby)
You're a superstar
You deserve it all
(You're a superstar to me)
More than just a ghetto queen
(Baby, I want to take you out the hood)
Want to put you into diamonds
Take you to the islands
(That's where you belong, yeah, yeah)
Show you everything
You ain't never seen (oh)
Just let me take you out the hood, babe
(Oh, let me do it for you, yeah)
Girl, let me change your world for you, babe (for you, oh)
Take you out the hood

[Bridge:]
Where I'm going
You'll be coming
(I want to fly with go somewhere with you)
Ain't no limit
If you only give me your you
Girl, anything, if you just ask me
If you call me
Girl, I'm only human
Girl, you shine brighter than the moon and the stars
So let me show you something better, babe

I'm tryin' to take you out the hood
Show you something good (yeah)
Make sure you're okay
Everything is great (yeah)
You're a superstar
You deserve it all
More than just a ghetto queen (you're...)
Want to put you into diamonds
Take you to the islands
Show you everything
You ain't never seen (never, never)
Just let me take you out the hood, babe (hood, baby)
(Take you out the hood, babe)
Girl, let me change your world for you, babe (oh, I...)
Take you out the hood
Baby, take you out the hood, girl (hood, girl)
Baby, take you out the hood, girl (hood, girl)
Baby, take you out the hood, girl (hood, girl)
Baby, take you out the hood, girl (hood, girl)
