I Can
Keke Wyatt Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Going to the salon
Gotta get my hair done
Pedicure manicure everything I need and more
It's going down today I can't wait to celebrate
Drive to the car wash after that I'll drop my top

[Chorus]
I can't wait it's going down tonight

Time to play everything's gonna be alright
Got my girls on the phone
I've been waitin' for so long
It's a party going on tonight

Time for a shopping spree
Spending money just for me
I don't need a man's pay I can make my own way
Credit card bank account,
Long as it is allowed
Thank god it's Friday
Doing things my own way

I got my dress,
I got my fendi shoes,
Gotta get my prada bag
Step out the S-ca jag,
Then go to ballay's,
To get the facts away
Then get on my 2-way,
My girls reply and say
I can't wait

[Chorus: x2]

(everybody let's party)

Said it's a party, a party, party, party
Party, party, party
Party, party, party

[Chorus: x2]

Said it's a party, a party, party, party
Party, party, party
Party, party, party

Said it's a party, a party, party, party

Party, party, party
Party, party, party
