Put a candle on my motherfucking back, baby, blow it
Love the way you do it, when you do it like that
Show up with the stacks, raining racks on my rack
Wrap it up, wrap it up boy
While I take this bow off
Talk that talk, yeah I know I'm such a show off
Daddy make a wish
Put this cake in your face
And it's not even my birthday
