Now wind it up, while I grind it up
Like a 20 sack, and roll it out
You can go anywhere in the world
And you know that they know about me
I don't think you really ask that girl
If she knows anything about me
Nah, nah, you don't
Word of advice, want a happy life?
Don't look for what you don't wanna find
But before your boyfriend finds out
Back up it one more time
