Birthday Girl Lyrics - Rising Down - The Roots

What is it we wanna do? 

Now that I'm allowed to be alone with you 

Birthday Girl it's your birthday 

Wherever you wanna go 

Now you are old enough to go and see the R-rated show now 

R-rated show 

Yo, She said she was a magazine editor named Janine 

Backstage in high heels and painted on jeans 

Probably had the most devious eyes I'd ever seen 

Told me she was twenty-two she was only seventeen 

She had sumthin' to hide she snuck in from outside 

And got everybody gassed like the car I drive 

With all that grown lady ass and my far out vibe 

She said she came to see them roots boys fallout live 

But listen,

Songs That Will Make You Cry Uncontrollably 

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Watch Cardi B Join James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

What is it we wanna do? 

Now that I'm allowed to be alone with you 

Birthday Girl its your birthday 

Wherever you wanna go 

Now you are old enough to go and see the R-rated show now 

R-rated show 

You see them girls look good but they brains not ready 

I talked to a woman, her mind is more steady 

Probably something in the way they're designed that's more steady 

I just let you recite cause the line was so heavy 

But I shoulda known better cause now I feel like America's underbelly 

R. Kelly gutter smut peddlers, internet predators, chat-room irregulars 

This not my twist you trying to send me to the therapist, miss 

What is it we wanna do? 

Now that I'm allowed to be alone with you 

Birthday Girl it's your birthday 

Wherever you wanna go 

Now you are old enough to go and see the R-rated show now 

R-rated show

Now she told me cheddar cheese grits 

Two tomato fried fish 

Cause she heard its my dish 

Tryna be my sidekick 

All the people all around thinking she was my chick 

Saying demn the girl thick 

But she aint no twenty-six 

Looking at me like I'm up to sumthin' on the funny tip 

Like I ever really been the one to try the honey drip 

Its your birthday so let me know the gift you wanna get 

In fact blow out the candles on the cake and make a wish for me 

They can't really seem to look away 

So they tried asking her to stay 

Fake I.D. you won't get turned away 

You look lovely tonight 

Now you are old enough to buy a gun 

So many better ways of having fun 

Right now I can only think of one 

You look lovely tonight. 

What is it we wanna do? 

Now that I'm allowed to be alone with you 

Birthday Girl its your birthday 

Wherever you wanna go 

Now you are old enough to go and see the R-rated show now
