Said if i could go back and make it happen faster So now I'm crashing don't know how it happened Till i met this pretty little missile, who shot me out the sky I used to be commander-in-chief for my pimp ship flying high
I think I'm going to kick it with my girl today When it knocks you down (knocks you down) Sometimes love comes around (love comes around, love comes around) You got me thinking about our life, our house and kids (Yeah)Ĭause boy you came around and you knocked me down (knocked me down) I never thought I'd fall for you as hard as I did (as hard as I did, yeah) Then you came in and knocked me on my faceįeels like I'm in a race but I already won first place When I look at you my mind goes on a trip You see the hate that they serving on a plater Whether you're Louie Vuittonin' it up, or Reebokin'
