I fear real danger
This world ain't simple
But I'm strong, I know how to get out
And I'll find my way 'cause
'Cause it's love, real simple and that's how it works

Oh, ooh

Big it up but you don't understand
And it's really nice, but you don't understand
So big it up, 'cause you don't understand
'Cause you don't understand, baby
