## Lyrics

* Yeah
* You know what?
* I like the playettes
* No diggity, no doubt, uh
* Play on, playette
* Play on, playette
* Yo, Dre, drop the verse
* [Verse 1: Dr. Dre]
* It's going down, fade to Blackstreet
* The homies got at me, collab' creations bump like acne
* No doubt, I put it down, never slouch
* As long as my credit can vouch, a dog couldn't catch me \*\*\*\* out
* Tell me who can stop when Dre makin' moves
* Attracting honeys like a magnet
* Giving 'em eargasms with my mellow accent
* Still moving this flavor
* With the homies Blackstreet and Teddy
* The original rump shakers
* [Verse 2: Teddy Riley]
* Shorty get down, good Lord
* Baby got 'em open all over town
* Strictly biz, she don't play around
* Cover much grounds, got game by the pound
* Getting paid is her forte
* Each and every day, true player way
* I can't get her out of my mind (Wow)
* I think about the girl all the time (Wow-wow)
* East side to the west side
* Pushin' phat rides, it's no surprise
* She got tricks in the stash, stacking up the cash
* Fast when it comes to the gas
* By no means average
* She's on when she's got to have it
* Baby, you're a perfect ten, I wanna get in
* Can I get down so I can win?
* [Chorus: Teddy Riley & Chauncey "Black" Hannibal]
* I like the way you work it
* No diggity, I got to bag it up (Bag it up)
* I like the way you work it
* No diggity, I got to bag it up (Bag it up, girl)
* I like the way you work it
* No diggity, I got to bag it up (Bag it up)
* I like the way you work it
* No diggity, I got to bag it up (Get up)

* [Verse 3: Chauncey "Black" Hannibal]
* She's got class and style
* Street knowledge by the pound
* Baby never act wild
* Very low-key on the profile
* Catchin' feelings is a no
* Let me tell you how it goes
* Herb's the word, spin's the verb
* Lovers, it curves, so freak what you heard
* Rollin' with the phatness
* You don't even know what the half is
* You've got to pay to play
* Just for shorty bang-bang to look your way
* I like the way you work it
* Trump tight all day, every day
* You're blowing my mind, maybe in time
* Baby, I can get you in my ride
* [Chorus: Teddy Riley & Chauncey "Black" Hannibal]
* I like the way you work it
* No diggity, I got to bag it up (Bag it up)
* I like the way you work it
* No diggity, I got to bag it up (Oh, yeah)
* I like the way you work it
* No diggity, I got to bag it up (Bag it up, babe)
* I like the way you work it
* No diggity, I got to bag it up (Get up)
* [Break: Teddy Riley & Chauncey "Black" Hannibal]
* Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo (Hey yo, that girl looks good)

* Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo (Hey yo)
* [Verse 4: Queen Pen]
* 'Cause that's my peeps and we rolls deep
* Flyin' first class from New York City to Blackstreet
* What you know about me? Not a \*\*\*\* thing
* Cartier wooden frames sported by my shorty
* As for me, icy gleaming pinkie diamond ring
* We bes the baddest clique up on the scene
* Ain't you getting bored with these fake-\*\*\*\* broads?
* I shows and proves, no doubt, I been diggin' you so
* Please excuse if I come across rude, that's just me
* And that's how a playette's got to be
* Stay kickin' game with a capital G
* Ask the peoples on my block, I'm as real as can be
* Word is bond, faking moves never been my thing
* So, Teddy, pass the word to your \*\*\*\* Chauncy
* I'll be sending the call, let's say, around 3:30
* Queen Pen and Blackstreet, it's no diggity (*No diggity, no doubt, baby*)
* [Chorus: Teddy Riley & Chauncey "Black" Hannibal]
* I like the way you work it
* No diggity, I got to bag it up (Girl, you got it going on)
* I like the way you work it
* No diggity, I got to bag it up (Play on, play on, play on)
* (Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo) I like the way you work it
* No diggity, I got to bag it up (Hey, ooh)
