Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me in your head, watch you learn some
Tryna see you sweat, watch you burn some
Uh-huh, eh, uh-huh, sweat
Yo, yo, I peek game 'cause I came with it
Uh, insured with a claim with it
Some say that's pimpin' yo
'Cause the boys in the black get gettin' my dough
Tryna get in the telefono
Turn up, I'm going in
Now we can let it all out on the flo'
I show you how to move to my tempo
Yeah I know you like this tempo
You don't know what you in for
I'm about to give you that info
You let me in your head, watch you learn some
Tryna see you sweat, watch you burn some
Let me in your head, watch you learn some
Tryna see you sweat, watch you burn some
Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-watch you learn
Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-watch you learn
OOooOOooOOooOO, sweat!
OOooOOooOOooOO, sweat!
I can teach you a lot of cool sh-t
Never met a girl that can do this
That PG got you actin' up
Well I'mma put you in my movie
You Ricky, I'm Lucy
All in your mind, don't lose it
That bomb bomb so bomb bomb
You sayin' hallelui
I show you how to move to my tempo
Yeah I know you like this tempo
You don't know what you in for
Cause I'm about to give you that info
You let me in your head, watch you learn some
Tryin' to see you sweat, watch you burn some
Let me in your head, watch you learn some
Tryin' to see you sweat, watch you burn some
Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-watch you learn
Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-watch you learn
OOooOOooOOooOO, sweat!
OOooOOooOOooOO, sweat!
[2 Chainz]
You gon' learn today, you gon' earn today
I be Interscope like aftermath
Get on the rozay, do it the wrong way
Might do foreplay, after sex
They ask me, how I'm doing and I tell them I'm very blessed
And I CC, CiCi, and that CC mean chest to chest
These pheromones nobody own
Carry on, on my shoulder
LV the logo
Make your head weave get done over
When she pop that, I rock back
Drop that, I rock back
Big stone I cop that
Don't act right I want my rock back
[Ciara]
You let me in your head, watch you learn some
Tryna see you sweat, watch you burn some
Let me in your head, watch you learn some
Tryna see you sweat, watch you burn some
[Beat break]
You let me in your head, watch you learn some
Tryna see you sweat, watch you burn some
Let me in your head, watch you learn some
Tryna see you sweat, watch you burn some
Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-watch you learn
Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-watch you learn
La la la la la la la la la la la la la, sweat!
La la la la la la la la la la la la la, sweat!
La la la la la la la la la la la la la, sweat!
La la la la la la la la la la la la la, sweat!

This song has only been out for 2 days & it's already getting major buzz! I think "One Woman Army is going to be Ciara's best album! Everyone that's at her listening party now in NYC are saying GREAT things about it! I'm riding with C through it all!
