lyrics

INTRO / Yeah, uh ha (repeat) / VERSE ONE / It was a cold day and she was listening to Cold Play, making out like it was role play, I just looked at her like no way, put on a DVD, she switched it to the BBC, she knows it won't agree with me but still she wanna be with me, I paid her no attention and then she tried to mention, I played my music too loud, well I play my music too proud, after all it belongs to me; she said it's just a song to me, I said 'girl why you startin' Just take a sip of Remy Martin, and I saved my last Rolo and I'mma take you to the MOBO's, she said that don't mean much, I've been and I aint seen much, so why you telling me for? Young talk, don't mix me up with T4, You know we gonna drift, so yo we gotta shift / CHORUS / (with echoes) Shifting we just shifting we just shifting, we just, we just, we just (x2) shifting it ah ha, ah ha, we just shifting it (x2) / VERSE TWO / I told her this my house so you can sing like Amy Winehouse, I just had to remind her, I'm kind of slick like Knight Rider, she opened a Bacardi, remember Linda Lusadi? Yo she was in a different league, (whoosh!!) you could feel the breeze, yeah she was real pretty, painting her nails and watching Sex In The City, losing my marbles up in here, is she training as a puppeteer? Touching up her lipstick, adjusts her bra and it's a quick fit, splash of her fragrance makes me feel like I'm winning out in Vegas, loving the Armani and a Chicken Biriyani , burning a scent candle, it's more than I can handle, maybe this is sabotage, cooler than a Hagen Dazs, you know we bout to drift, so yo we bout to shift / CHORUS

Braver Heart Music. Trust the soul Music. Trip over a rock and bust your head music but get back up and brush yourself off music. Galactic Fear me Music. Step over that to get to that music. Jumping over my life to get to my next life music. Visually Visual Very well contained music. jumpoveryourodds
