Love baby, yeah
Gather round (c'mon)
What's sup baby, yeah
Listen up, got a lot to learn
Yeah

We gotta get wise to it
Cos we're long gone baby
You know we're gonna make it
You know we're gonna shake it

Check it out man on the roof
Give it the gas
Love baby, yeah
Now you're getting yourself some oxygen
Love baby, yeah

Hipping the hop one way ticket to Flipsville
You bent out of shape man
Coming apart like a two bit suitcase
Time is running out

We gotta get wise to it
Cos we're long gone baby
Time is running out

You hear what I'm saying
Let it all hang out
You gotta chill, relax
