Fighting Temptation

[Missy] 
Yo Beyonce, Free, Mc Lyte, y'all ready

To my fellas! (whoo)! I'll got them cars them ladies love 
Party People! (yeah) We gonna party all night 
And let yo soul, work! (ooo!) And let yo soul keep on workin out 

[Missy] 
I'm the type of chick who be fightin' temptation 
Make you wait before we have a relation 
Playboy holla at me lata' 
Don't you know I'm managed by violator (yeah)

I look good so hate me hater 
Me and my girls drinkin', where's the waiter 
Cheatin' guys I already played ya 
Ladies don't saphacate us 
If you touch us we gonna altercation 
Warn Missy you's impersonator

[Missy] 
Party people it's good sensation 
We gonna show you how to fight temptation 

[chorus: Beyonce] 
I'm just fighting temptation (yeah) 
Gotta get more control (control, yeah) 
Yet it's very tempting when you ask to take me home (home) 
You know you want my love (love) 
I don't think the time is right (no) 
Call when I'm ready, but it won't be tonight 

[Free] 
We in da club Free gully no doubt 
See this real deal playa starin' dead in my mouth 
He got his crew, but I got mine to 
Send a note to my table like (what you gonna do) 
Eye game got him spreadin' me out 
In my ear dry tears how he left his spouse 
And oh, the nice cars and impressive house 
He want to run up in I ain't no regular route (hhoooo!) 
Me and the girls we ain't stressin' out 
We ain't birds we ain't headin' south (nnnoooo)! 
Them one nighters that's sad and doubt 
That little talk on da creep what you said is out 
I gets cheddar, to help me do what ever, no beef with Dennis Hedwards but i

I'm not sayin' I don't like temptation 
I'm just lookin' for da right temptation, ya kno' 

[chorus: Beyonce]

Call when I'm ready, but it won't be tonight 

[MC Lyte] 
Yeah, party liked I neva partied before

Sweet, they messin' wit da brown sugar queen 
Fightin' Temptation like Layla Ali wit da 1, 2 
Let me show you wat da hon' do, when i come through wit da butta dip crew 
Now show me dat you got my back, love me from where you at 
I got eyes up over my shoulder, if you should decide to get closer (hhooo!) 
Well then this dance is straight over, I'm gone and Missy testaroasa

All I know it's a crazy sensation 
You fine but I'm fightin' temptation
