Song byKanye West

in AlbumCollege Dropout

[Intro]

You just popped in the Kanye West

Get right for the summer workout tape

And ladies if you follow these instructions exactly

you might bear to pull you a rapper, a NBA player

Man, at least a dude wit' a car

So first of all we gon' work on the stomach

Nobody wants a little tight ass!

[Verse 1]

1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and get them sit ups right and

Tuck your tummy tight and do your crunches like this

Give head, stop breathe, get up, check your weave

Don't drop the blunt and disrespect the weed

Pick up your son and don't disrespect your seed

It's a party tonight and ooh she's so excited

Tell me who's invited: you, your friends and my dick

What's scary to me is Henny makes girls look like Halle Berry to me

So excuse me miss, I forgot your name

Thank you, God bless you, good night I came..

I came...

I came..

[Chorus]

All the mochalotties, you gotta do palotties

So after the party, meet me in the lobby now

And maybe we could work it out

Work it out [x4]

Out maybe we could work it out

[Verse 2]

Oh girl your silhouette make me wanna light a cigarette

My name Kanye from the Jigga set Twista said get it wet

Ooh girl your breath is HARSH

Cover your mouth up like you got SARS

Off them tracks yea I bought them cars

Still killa a nigga on 16 bars

We ain't sweatin' to the oldies we jukin to a cold beat

Maybe one day girl we can bone

so you can brag to all your homies now

But I still mess with a big girl if you ain't fit girl I'll hit girl

1 and you brought 2 friends OK 3 more now hop in the Benz

Four door do you know the difference between a 5, 6, 7, 8

All the mocha lattes you gotta do Pilates

You gotta pop this tape in before you start back dating

Hustlers, gangstas, all us, ballas

[Chorus]

[Interlude: Ladies speaking w/ Kanye in the background]

[Jill] Hi, may name is Jill, I just want to say thanks to

Kanye's workout plan. I was able to pull a NBA player

and like now I shop every day on Rodeo drive

I just want to say, thank you Kanye! woooo! woooo! woooo!

[Lasandra] My name is Lasandra, and I just want to say

that ever since listenin' to Kanye's workout tape

I was able to get my phone bill paid, I got sounds and 13's

put up in my Cavalier and I was able to get a free trip to Cancun

And what's most importantly is that I ain't gotta fuck Ray Ray's

broke ass no mo'

(Work it mo' juge it mo' pump it mo, Chi-town mo' let's go mo')

[Alamae] My name is Alamae from Mobille, Alabama

and I just want to say since listenin' to Kanye's workout tape

I been able to date outside the family, I got a double wide

And I rode the plane, rode the plane, rode the plane

[Girl] Thanks to Kanye's workout plan

I'm the envy of all my friends

See I pulled me a baller man (yeah)

And I don't gotta work at the mall again

[Beat changes]

My favorite work out plan (oh! oh! oh!)
