Can’t Hang Lyrics

[Intro: Jermaine Dupri]
Let's get down
Let's get down

[Verse 1: Kandi]
You claim, you've been waiting
With no game, just anticipating
How it would be if you and I were in the sack
But to me, you look like you wouldn't know how to act

[Pre-Chorus: Latocha]
I need someone to hold me, all night long
It must be you, my darlin' - am I wrong?
It ain't a damn thing, baby, show me what you can bring
Cause some try to swang but they still can't hang

[Chorus: Xscape & (Jermaine Dupri)]
You and me, let's get down (Let's get down)
Even though you claim that you've been around
I bet ya can't hang, I bet ya can't hang
You and me let's get down (Let's get down)
Even though you claim that you've been around
I bet ya can't hang, I bet ya can't hang

[Verse 2: Kandi]
You claim, you can do this, this and that
Ain't no shame in my game
If it's wack, I gotta tell you that
So you better be up on your down stroke
You gotta know how to keep this boat afloat

'Cause in my mind I think you're gonna slip, baby
[Pre-Chorus: Latocha]
I need someone to hold me, all night long
It must be you, my darlin' - am I wrong?
It ain't a damn thing, baby, show me what you can bring
'Cause some try to swang but they still can't hang

[Chorus: Xscape & (Jermaine Dupri)]
You and me, let's get down (Let's get down)
Even though you claim that you've been around
I bet ya can't hang, I bet ya can't hang
You and me, let's get down (Let's get down)
Even though you claim that you've been around
I bet ya can't hang, I bet ya can't hang

[Verse 3: MC Lyte]
You talk a lot of this and you talk a lot of that
Is it all fact, brotha man, are you fat?
'Cause if it's on the real, I come with mad sex appeal
Flip Lyte to luscious, you know the deal
Hey, that's me, I be the sleek
The one with the physique
I freak you in the sheets
I take a nigga deep down under
Make him wonder
How to make the lighting come before the thunder
That's the pleasure I bring
I make a nigga get up and sing, ting-a-ling-a-ling-ling
I got the pow, the boogie and the bang bang
You can't hang? Don't talk the yang
[Chorus: Xscape & (Jermaine Dupri)]
You and me, let's get down (Let's get down)
Even though you claim that you've been around
I bet ya can't hang, I bet ya can't hang
You and me, let's get down (Let's get down)
Even though you claim that you've been around
I bet ya can't hang, I bet ya can't hang

[Outro: Xscape & (Jermaine Dupri)]
You and me, you and me (Let's get down)
You and me, you and me (Let's get down)
I bet ya can't hang, I bet ya can't hang

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
