[Chorus:]
Hey girl it really doesn't matter to me
Whatsoever just where I am is where you really wanna be

Big up pretty girl yow yow
Never let the get you down a your time now

And you must have to make it some how
Not about me, it's not about you
And for you there's allot of good things I do
Surely a mans duty to make you fine
Always support you now that's just kind
Money or money not everything nice
Makes me happy just to see you ride
Right by your side rather day or night
Especially the young militant weh yo like

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
Nothing is wrong with a little bit a excitement
Work for what you want so you a take life yea
Happy every time in a yard out a road
Work retire naw work wid the crowd
Every little girl wanna be a star
Let no one stop you from be who you are
One life to live so you make the best
Today is now, tomorrow is not yet
