Lyrics

Ah yeah
What I'd like the brothers and sisters
In the audience to do right about now
Including y'all in the back
I want you to snap your fingers like this
Come on, come on
Ah come on, I know y'all got rhythm, come on
Everybody snap your fingers like this
Every single soul, come on
Ah, what's going on right about here is center stage
It's about a brother
It's what a brother does when he's getting ready for a date
Haha, yeah
My mom likes to call it the getting
She calls it the getting because the brother's getting slick
Getting ready, getting snazzy
Getting prepared for a dinner
And getting prepared for an even more better dessert
If you understand what I'm talking about
I think the sister and brother know what I'm talking about
Check this out
Getting jazzy, getting snazzy
But what's your problem? You ain't getting at all
Getting jazzy, getting snazzy
But what's your problem? You ain't getting at all
Brother man, brother man
Brother man thinks he's gonna knock boots tonight
You know what I'm talking about
I think brother man thinks he's gonna do the nasty tonight, alright
I think brother man thinks he's gonna uh
Hit the skins tonight, if you know what I'm talking about, right
I said yo baby, yo baby, yo baby, yo, uh
Yeah
Ah, but the sisters ain't down with that type of stuff no more you see
They decided yo we ain't gotta have all this materialism type of stuff
We want something more than that
Am I right sisters?
Ah yeah
Alright
So you know uh
Brother man is wearing the most expensive clothes
The most expensive watch
The most expensive Calvin Klein jeans and all that type of thing
But the sister don't give a dang
Because the sister's got her own thing going on
She wants a real man, you know what I'm talking about, yeah
Well, I tried to tell the brother
I said brother man
Sisters don't want that type of thing in the black community anymore
We looking for something a little bit deeper
Getting jazzy, getting snazzy
But what's your problem? You ain't getting at all
Getting jazzy, getting snazzy
But what's your problem? You ain't getting at all
And all the brother had to really do was be himself
