Jimmy Fallon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whip my hair back and forth, just whip it
I whip my hair back and forth
Whip my hair back and forth, whip it real good
Hop up out the bed and turn my swag on
Pay no attention to them haters, because we whip em off
And we ain't doing nothing wrong,
So keep the party jumping
Whip my hair back and forth, just whip it
Whip my hair back and forth, whip it real good
Don't let the haters keep me off my grind
Keep my head up I know I'll be fine
Keep on fighting until I get there
When I'm down and I feel like giving up,
I think again
Whip my hair back and forth
Whip my hair back and forth, just whip it
Whip my hair back and forth
Whip my hair back and forth, whip it real good
All my ladies if you feel me
(Whip your hair)
Do it, do it. whip your hair
(Whip your hair)
Don't matter if its long or short
(Whip your hair)
Do it, do it, whip your hair
(Whip your hair)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, whip my hair
Oh, oh, oh, oh, whip my hair
Whip my hair back and forth
(Whip your hair)
Whip my hair back and forth, just whip it
Whip my hair back and forth, just whip it
I whip my hair back and forth
You gotta whip your hair!
