Definition of a Hotti"

In the early to mid '90s, many R&B songs had titles that referred specifically to sex. Some of these were obvious, such as Color Me Badd's "I Wanna Sex You Up" and R. Kelly's previous single "Sex Me," but others found new and exciting ways to describe the nasty. Some of these songs popularized the catch phrases they came from, including Candyman's "Knockin' Boots" and Silk's "Freak Me," but this song took the phrase "Bump N' Grind" to a new level. While the phrase certainly indicates sex, it could also refer to dancing or many other activities. It even became a popular on air saying for ESPN anchor Stuart Scott. British house duo Waze & Odyssey produced a bootleg of the track, which was originally just for their DJ sets. Their reworking took on a life of its own after it was uploaded to YouTube and the remix was officially released on October 19, 2014 reaching #3 on the UK singles chart. Waze & Odyssey's version samples Nightcrawlers' mid '90s hit "Push the Feeling On."

My mind's tellin' me no, but my body, my body's tellin' me yes
Baby, I don't wanna hurt nobody
But there is something that I must confess (to you)

I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind (with a little bump and grind)
I don't see nothing wrong, baby baby, hey
I don't see nothing wrong (I don't see nothing wrong)
With a little bump and grind (with a little bump and grind)
I don't see nothing wrong, hey

Lookie here
See I know just what you want and I know just what you need girl
So baby bring your body to me (bring your body here)
I'm not fooling around with you
Baby my love is true, with you
(With you is where I want to be) Is where, I wanna be
Girl you need someone, someone like me to satisfy your every needs

I don't see nothing wrong (I don't see nothing wrong) with a little bump and grind (With a little bump and grind)
I don't see nothing wrong, baby, baby
I don't see (I don't see nothing wrong) I don't see
With a little bump and grind (nothing wrong with a little, bump and grind)
I don't see nothing wrong, baby, hey

You say he's not treating you right
Lady spend the night now
I'll love you like you need to be loved (Baby, girl won't you try some of me)
No need to look no more because I've opened up my door
You'll never, you'll never want another love, baby you'll never find another me
You see you need someone, someone like me, yeah to make love to you baby, constantly

I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind (I don't see hey, nothing wrong)
I don't see nothing wrong, oh
I don't see nothing wrong (nothing wrong) with a little bump and grind (with a little bump and grind)
I don't see nothing wrong, baby, baby, alright

I don't see nothing wrong, I don't see nothing wrong, with a little bump and grind (nothing)
I don't see nothing wrong, I don't see, I don't see nothing wrong
I don't see nothing wrong, no, no, no with a little bump and grind
I don't see nothing wrong, nothing wrong, nothing wrong, nothing wrong
I don't see nothing wrong (baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby) with a little bump and grind
