Clique

I know what's going down

I wanna rock with my girls right now

That's my chicks (Uh-huh, uh, uh)

That's my gang, that's my girls, that's my clique (Uh-huh, uh, ah)

That's my clique

Boy, turn the bass up loud

We ain't going home 'til we hear that sound

That's my chicks (Uh-huh, uh, uh)

That's my gang, that's my girls, that's my clique (Uh-huh, uh)

That's my clique

If you're down, you can come run with us

In this town, always got some with us

Big hearts, make 'em fall hard for us

We stay glamorous

Na-na, na-na, na-na, na

Doesn't matter where we at

I got their back, they got my back, uh-huh

I take it to the max, I get there quick

'Cause that's my, that's my

I know what's going down

I wanna rock with my girls right now

Everything's a highlight once she's in my life

That's my world

Oh (Oh)

Na-na, na-na, na-na, na

Doesn't matter where we at

I got their back, they got my back, uh-huh

I take it to the max, I get there quick
