And when it happens feel that wrath of my load

Like 'damn how you do it' with that rhythm you got

Well now im driving till you get out on the road

And wind you up, wind you leave you shivering cold

Take ya back til ya wanna get off the ground again

All your talking bout busy bad boys forget about me
