Lyrics:
Verse One: Trife
Baby listen bets to believe
I can give you what you want and all that you need
Mackin' all the ladies from the fly to the shady
Marquis diamonds 600 Mersadies
I'll fly you across the seas in a private jet
Whisper sh*t in ya ear to get ya panties wet honey I'll show you how
Good life can get wining and dinning nonchalaunt in the finests
Resturaunts feed you lobster because I'm a true mobster!
Lamer niggaz bore ya, lay ya down in the Walldoff Vistoria
Victoria Secrets, lengerie I loves to freak shit
Dim the lights, sex all through the night
King sized beds, Satin sheets gettin' right
Wear you out, leave my number by the phone
In the morn', I'm gone
chorus (sung by Aaliyah):
I wonder if I take you home will you still be in love baby
Because I need you tonight
Wonder if I take you home would you still be in love baby
Because I need you tonight
home, home
home home home
Verse Two: Lil' Kim
Do you know who I be? Lil' Kim the loot teddy (that's right)
Here trying to put it on you fools trying to run up in
(what's the matter Big Momma, don't you like what you see)
Like my girl Mary B. you just ain't runnin' up in me
You got to give me what I need baby, that's a drop top Z baby
Martini and Roxy, icedy Spomaonte'
Dom Perejoun so we can get it on, Movatto watch
Tennis for the wrists, n*gga you ain't ever since no ice like this
So now you know what you're working with, handle ya business
And keep coming with that stuff that I like, light a candle
I'm too hot to handle, I see your eyes sizin' up my hips and my thighs
Man I'll do things to you, Vanessa Del Rio would be shamed to do
chorus:
Verse Three: Kleptomaniac
Mack ass niggaz, smooth like Tom Cat and ?Masusso?
Games for pro leading parties with *****es and a sex Coupes
Who spittin' game, all without the eye contact
We're all without contracts, laying my game down flat
Kleptomaniac, rides in this rhythm that you give him
I'm that right, let press ya suns you got to get ya skins tight
Catching mobile phones, showing women how to live life
If that's your girl, she wasn't last night
Made her life worth while, Benjamins by the piles
Turn her frowns to smiles, lvin' Goodfellaz life style
Nails done and hair, living rooms with chandelaers
Sex in a strech Lex, no cares for who wanna stare
Yeah now that's a real women for ya, higherd Vecks and lawyers
Pearl gems and tag for ya's, Bachelor Degrees
Bringin' home bacon and cheese, freaky Shaundra ain't afraid to get some
Dirt up on her knees
chorus

[@elishh8173]

I was a youth in the 90s and it was great, more freedom, not CCTV cameras everywhere. Fashion, you could dress however you wanted, people could be who they wanted and we could find SO NICE clothes in the stores, trendy clothes even in cheap stores. We had FREEDOM, FUN and FRIENSHIP! Not just commercialism everywhere. And THANK GOD no damn phones. People interacted in a more real way. I hate the way social media and smartphones have ruined fun for the youth. I feel sorry for you. Its not fair you don't get to experience REAL freedom. But still, enjoy your time, because in the coming generations, they will have EVEN LESS freedom. Just look at China's "social credit score" that's what we already have but they will make it official further on in the future. Me, I'll probably be dead by then though. Enjoy your youth. In the 90s, I dreamed about the 70s and wished I could be there. We humans are like that. This is YOUR TIME TO SHINE AND LIVE CAREFREE YOUNG LIFE! It's not a bad time. Enjoy it my dear youngsters!!!

*-A Much Underrated Classic And An Era That Will Never Return....Rest In Peace Aaliyah.*

[@aeubanks5449]

Damn 2:27 makes me shed a tear 😪. Tommy man. The nostalgia hurts.

[@kyraky9521]

I miss the 90s smh

ME 2

[@dawnjohnson5454]

Me too great days

[@thepunisher9991]

Time does fly by... Still an amazing classic. R.i.p. Baby Girl!

[@malkelmmalcolm7667]

Wow… if this new generation actually understood that pretty much everything we listened to in the 90’s was classic then and now.,

[@sadagicousowens7217]

Faith Evans, Kim, and Aaliyah sound so good here.

[@Ddych81]

Wow!! What a time to be alive and young 🤦🏾‍♀️❤️ best times and music

[@antionettebrown5419]

I NEVER HEARD THIS AND NOW IM ON THIS WHOLE 90s NOSTALGIA TRIP.... I Was blessed to have experienced a time such as the 90s... It just hit differently.

[@tylongkicks8821]

Growing up as a kid and a teenager in the 90's was awesome

[@Beefydawg]

I miss the 90s and rarely listen to this song because it's sad to think about what we don't have now😏

[@vicaal8038]

Aaliyah I love you! I always had! I always will!!!!

[@BirgitJanczik]

Mega song !!!!!!! ❤

[@bitfacecryptoknight7680]

Kim used to be so cute and I absolutely love Aaliyah she’ll forever be missed 😔 this makes me feel so nostalgic.

[@gogotorious]

I love Aaliyah when she's putting up one's hair at 0:25 so much, it's very rare for me.

[@Allboutmoney209]

Rip too the most beautiful Aaliyah ❤🙏

[@ripaaliyah]

Best decade ever

[@nathanngumi8467]

Unlike other music genres, hip hop sold a fantasy that many people bought, especially young Black men.

[@thesbianbeauty]

This is still such a timeless bop. Definitely brings back great summer 90s memories 🔥❤️

[@beaniegee5129]

'90s hip-hop at its finest

[@mariomiguelito5579]

Lil Kim is Queen. The blueprint for modern day female rap and ALWAYS spittin bars... Fashion icon. Innovator. Aaliyah was my girl, hard body. We had it good in the 90's FRFR!

[@nicolewatson2032]

These were the good ole days. RIP Aliyah.

[@maceyharper2268]

Aaliyah was so cool. Why did Aaliyah & her crew even take the flight in the first place? If not for that flight, we would still have Aaliyah & her crew. She was going to rule music, movies, & no telling what else she was going to accomplish. This is a devastating loss that will always be felt. There was so much more greatness to come from her.

[@nettiewatkins6465]

I was trying to get home .. I should have made the left . My biggest regret.

[@Keezie27]

I wish they had just filmed the entire "Rock The Boat" video in Miami. Miami has beautiful beaches as well. Wonder why they needed to go to The Bahamas (although it's a lovely Country) to film some of the scenes for the video. So sad.

[@girlbrittneygirl]

@@Keezie27 They filmed the video in the Bahamas because of her Jamaican ancestry. Her going to Bahamas was never the issue. The airlines letting a faulty plane being able to be flown with faulty spark plugs. People don't use their heads! She could have died on her way to the Bahahamas from Miami! That plane could've been faulty! She went to the Bahamas to shoot some real scenes of beaches . The Beaches in Miami don't come close to the ones in Miami.

[@britanir]

I’m glad I seen this video today. Aaliyah will always be one of my favorites. She left too soon. It’s still devastating. Aaliyah’s talent & beauty was one of a kind. I didn’t know her personally but she always had a light on her. She stood out. ❤ Lil Kim was pretty back then too. She really got to know that. Prayers to her. Rest in Peace Aaliyah Biggie Thomas “Tommy” Ford You all are greatly missed and cherished. ❤🙏🏽👑

[@hijayter4565]

R.I.P. to Thomas Mikal Ford

[@donjohnson2758]

For the people complaining there isn’t an explicit version of this song with Aaliyah’s vocals on it. The only uncensored version of this song available is with Faith Evans’ vocals on the album version.

[@esplanade92]

fr? I found a 12" promo copy online and it says its explicit feat Aaliyah...

[@tgirl1762]

@@esplanade92 It's the So So Def version

[@BboyTurok1990]

Man if I was old enough when this song came out. I would sneak out to be in that party.
