Tennessee Slim is the Bomb Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you a story about a lil red girl from Tennessee who used to be scary
[Star Kitty's lovely she knows how to work it but Tennessee Slim is the bomb]
Who didn't know until she was in 7th grade that it was uncool for her legs to be hairy
[Star Kitty's lovely she knows how to work it but Sexy Red sho' is the bomb]
She plays hard, loves harder, kinda acts like her momma but looks just like her daddy
[Star Kitty's lovely she knows how to work it but Tennessee Slim is the bomb]
Moved to the ATL to become underground queen and married a swat nigga wit a Caddy
[Star Kitty's lovely she knows how to work it but Sexy Red sho' is the bomb]

[Chorus]
There are many sides to me, little like geometry, maybe a chameleon, prism shining in the sun
[Star Kitty's lovely she knows how to work it but Sexy Red is the bomb]
There are many sides to me, little like geometry, maybe a chameleon, prism shining in the sun
[Star Kitty's lovely she knows how to work it but Tennessee Slim is the bomb]

[Bridge]
How things change and stay the same
Just like a kitten becomes a cat
But to become an unforgettable broad
You must be one part lady and one part vamp
How things change and stay the same
Just like a kitten becomes a cat
But to become an unforgettable broad
You must be one part lady and one part vamp
Vamp
God damn vamp
[Verse 2]
Every time she do a show the people all wanna go just to see what she gon be wearin'
[Star Kitty's lovely she knows how to work it but Tennessee Slim is the bomb]
I wonder if she's gonna do that "meow meow" song and "The Sunshine and the Rain" cause that shit sho be jammin
[Star Kitty's lovely she knows how to work it but Sexy Red sho is the bomb]
Never seen her with the same hair and nails in all years, she has no trouble changing
[Star Kitty's lovely she knows how to work it but Tennessee Slim is the bomb]
To you it might look like a lot of change, but in her mind she do it all the time, it's just rearranging
[Star Kitty's lovely she knows how to work it but Sexy Red sho is the bomb]

[Bridge]
How things change and stay the same
Just like a kitten becomes a cat
But to become an unforgettable broad
You must be one part lady and one part vamp
How things change and stay the same
Just like a kitten becomes a cat
But to become an unforgettable broad
You must be one part lady and one part vamp

[Chorus]
There are many sides to me, (vamp) little like geometry, (God damn vamp)
Maybe a chameleon, prism shining in the sun
[Star Kitty's lovely she knows how to work it but Sexy Red is the bomb]
There are many sides to me, little like geometry, maybe a chameleon, prism shining in the sun
[Star Kitty's lovely she knows how to work it but Tennessee Slim is the bomb]
