"Pyramids"

Oh, oh, oh oh

Set the cheetahs on the loose

Oh, oh, oh-oh

There's a thief out on the move

Oh, oh, oh-ohh

Underneath our legion's view

Oh, oh, oh-ohh

They have taken Cleopatra, Cleopatra

Run, run, run, come back for my glory

Bring her back to me

Run, run, run, the crown of our pharaoh

The throne of our queen is empty

We'll run to the future, shinin' like diamonds

In a rocky world, rocky-rocky world

Our skin like bronze, and our hair like cashmere

As we march to rhythm on the palace floor

Chandeliers inside the pyramids tremble from the force

Cymbals crash inside the pyramids

Voices fill up the halls

Oh, oh, oh-ohh

Set the cheetahs on the loose

Ah, ay, ayy

There's a thief out on the move

Oh, oh, oh uuh

Underneath our legion's view

Ahh, ay, ay, ay

They have taken Cleopatra, Cleopatra

The jewel of Africa, jewel

What good is a jewel that ain't still precious?

How could you run off on me? How could you run off on us?

You feel like God inside that gold

I found you layin' down with Samson, and his full head of hair

I found my black queen Cleopatra

Bad dreams, Cleopatra

Oh, oh, ohh-ohh, remove her

Send the cheetahs to the tomb

Ooh, oh, our war is over

Our queen has met her doom

Ooh, no more she lives

No more serpents in her room

Ooh, no more

He has killed Cleopatra, Cleopatra

Big sun coming strong through the motel blinds

Wake up to your girl

For now, let's call her Cleopatra, Cleopatra

I watch you fix your hair

Then put your panties on in the mirror, Cleopatra

Then your lipstick, Cleopatra

Then your six-inch heels, catch her

She's headed to the pyramid

She's working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid

Working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid

Working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid

Working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid

Working at the pyramid tonight

Pimpin' in my convos

Bubbles in my champagne, let it be some jazz playin'

Top floor motel suite, twistin' my cigars

Floor model TV with the VCR

Got rubies in my damn chain

Whip ain't got no gas tank, but it still got woodgrain

Got your girl working for me

Hit the strip and my bills paid, that keep my bills paid

Hit the strip and my bills paid, keep a nigga bills paid

She's working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid

Working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid

Working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid

Working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid

You showed up after work, I'm bathin' your body

Touchin' you places only I know

You're wet and you're warm just like our bathwater

Can we make love before you go?

The way you say my name makes me feel like I'm that nigga

But I'm still unemployed

You say it's big but you take it

Ride, cowgirl

But your love ain't free no more, baby

But your love ain't free no more

She's working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid

Working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid (that's right)

Working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid

Working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid

Working at the pyramid tonight!
