Christopher Wilde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No you can't meet me
Yeah I'm on my game
That's right I'm in my shades
See the cameras flashing
Anybody, any time for action
You're the main attraction
Pull up in my spot looking hot everybody knows
Don't got no stress in my head cause stress don't fly in my fancy clothes
Yeah, they want to take my picture
Watch out those lights'll get ya
And they're calling your name
That's where I put on my frames
I tell them watch me now
Lil mama how you like me now,
On the dance floor we can work it out and bring this whole place down
Gotta stand up hands up
Big boy's in a stance like hey what?
So get on the floor
Show them what you came here for
No you can't see me
No you can't meet me
Yeah I'm on my game
That's right I'm in my shades
See the cameras flashing
Anybody any time for action
You're the main attraction
Hey, In my shades
Uh, Wanna watch me watch this
And when you watch TV, watch Chris
Got to have the whole place jumping
Cameras flashing and you know the bass pumping
Shades on like a rock star
And I'm busting out the best moves so far
Feel the air from the speakers
So so fresh from my head to my sneakers
Turn the beat up on the radio
I'm a keep the frames till I'm ready go
Till I'm gone I is,
You ain't never ever heard a song like this
Get your brain on, better get some ideas
Maybe you should holler at your boy right here
And if the girl want to get crazy,
You can find me in my shades,
No you can't see me
No you can't meet me
Yeah I'm on my game
That's right I'm in my shades
See the cameras flashing
Anybody any time for action
You're the main attraction
Hey, in my shades
No you can't see me
No you can't meet me
Yeah I'm on my game
That's right I'm in my shades
See the cameras flashing
Anybody any time for action
You're the main attraction
Hey, in my shades
