Tanji Lyrics

Tanji, I snatched her up at a house party
Her appearance was quite lovely
I wanted to get plugged with old baby
So I told my older cousin to introduce me
She did that indeed
She said Tanji
Tanjii this is E
E? You mean E-40 from The V?
I said yeah, she said glad to meet you E
I said obliged, glad to meet you too
She said right
So tell what’s up with you?
I said nathan
How bout some steak and wine and an autograph?
I scratched the top of my head and then I started to laugh
Let’s scoot to my spot, in what?
My Cutlass Supreme drop, where’s that?
Outside in the parking lot, let’s scat
We’ll be there with a jiffy, now sit back
Dag nammit I ain't taking no crap
She said man baby is it like that?
I love for a man to take control, over 250 gallon and bold
She kissed me and then continued down the road
Stay tuned for the next episode

I'm outta here, peace

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 [?]
