[Voice: female lead, brash Miami club-rap, amused and dangerous] They called me by her name at the marble reception I kept right on walking, didn't bother to correct 'em Three men at the table, one chair still empty I pulled that bitch out like they saved it for me One said, "Just a review." I said, "Make it approved" Changed one word on the agenda, watched the paper move He looked up for permission, caught my face instead Then he handed me the pen like he meant to do that He met me by the elevator, said, "You been busy?" I said, "Baby, you don't know the half of it, do you?" He caught that little grin, knew something was up Still put his hand around my waist and said, "What's for us?" He ain't some fool I can work with a smile He checked the numbers, let me talk for a while Then pulled me in close, said, "You're enjoying this" I said, "You ain't seen shit," and gave him a kiss [Refrain] First they let me sit Then they let me vote Three men said yes I damn near choked [Beat hit] [Hook] Don't wake her, let that bitch sleep Her name on the papers, they answering to me Don't wake her, don't say shit He knows who he's kissing and he's staying with it Don't wake her, let that bitch sleep I got her number ringing while he's touching on me Don't wake her, keep it sweet I want the man, the crew, the whole damn thing [Voice: female lead, sharper Miami rap, smug and calculating] By Friday, two of her people came straight to my suite One brought the figures, one had something to eat Said, "We got a problem with a client out west" I read three lines, told 'em who to call next The older one laughed, said, "That's how she would do it" I said, "Well, look at that. Guess we already knew it" They left with their orders, I left with the names Funny how a business run when nobody complains Took a little meeting she would've declined Had 'em move the whole appointment to a better time Then I called the man back, made the deal worth his trip He said, "You always been this good?" I said, "Depends who you with" He knows what I look like when I ain't playing nice He sees me change the subject, makes me say it twice I like that about him, he don't scare easy And I like him a whole lot better when he needs me Put his jacket on my shoulders, walked me out through the back Said, "You getting carried away?" I said, "Maybe I am" He laughed, but I could tell he was watching my hands Smart man. Still ain't tell him everything I planned [Hook] Don't wake her, let that bitch sleep Her name on the papers, they answering to me Don't wake her, don't say shit He knows who he's kissing and he's staying with it Don't wake her, let that bitch sleep I got her number ringing while he's touching on me Don't wake her, keep it sweet I'm getting the man, the crew, the whole damn thing [Drum cut] One more name on the meeting sheet One more chair pulled up for me One more night he ain't asking for her And the whole damn office got used to me [Voice: same woman, lower mature alto, dry and exact] I wasn't asleep. [Floor-tom fill] [Voice: female lead, original Miami register, smiling and vicious] Don't wake her, let that bitch sleep Her name on the papers, they answering to me Don't wake her, don't say shit He knows who he's kissing and he's staying with it Don't wake her, let that bitch sleep Let the damn phone ring, he ain't leaving with it Don't wake her, keep it sweet I got the man, the crew, the whole damn thing [Instrumental outro: bright funk guitar cuts; a low Rhodes chord remains]
