[Intro - Kardinal Offishall]
Light it up, everybody
Light it up, for Keri Hilson
Light it up, for Kardinal
Light it up, ay!
[Chorus - Keri Hilson]:
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your numba 1,
numba 1
numba 1
[Verse 1 - Kardinal Offishall]:
She just my part time lover
Pretty little thing
Nothin I would ever think about giving a ring,
Nothin but a pretty little woman I'd fling
Even though she want to be the queen to my king
She ain't nothin but a work for my ginseng
Someone that I would use to buss my back spring
She would have been numba one out the badda-bing
Man nah go bodda wit the wife wife ting
She betta know she the girl on ma side
Numba 2 on my mind
There no way she could be my girl
She steady tryin to come into my world
[Chorus - Keri Hilson]:
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your numba 1,
numba 1
numba 1
[Verse 2 - Kardinal Offishall]:
Shes just my trophy piece
Ma hot hot gal
Never ever ever woulda call her Miss Offishall
Never ever ever woulda bring her around ma friends
She'd be cryin on the phone when she knows who i am
I'm Mr. Kardinal
Voice to the people
Black Jays family, verses are lethal
I don't have time for the play play
She a good chick yo but I'm married to the game
Married to the fame
Related to the paper
Tryin to get my name put up on the skyscraper
There's no way she could be my wife but
She steady tryin to come into my life
[Chorus - Keri Hilson]:
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your numba 1,
numba 1
numba 1
[Bridge - Keri Hilson]:
Those other girls ain't nothing like me
Just give me the chance and boy you will see that
I'm not the kind of girl who just gets down like that oh no
[Verse 3 - Kardinal Offishall]
On the rim I ain't gonna front you
The box to the a lot hound dogs on the hunt
You the push to the to a lotta kush rolled in a blunt
You the hottest in the dance butyou aint what i want
I want this this tryin get in the business
Just tryin work out the physical fitness
Theres no way you could get that ring
But i hear all the hottie hotties in the place say
[Chorus - Keri Hilson]:
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your numba 1,
numba 1
numba 1
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your numba 1,
numba 1
numba 1
[Outro - Kardinal Offishall]
Light it up, everybody
Light it up, for Keri Hilson
Light it up, for Kardinal
Light it up, whoa!
