I got brass in pocket
Got bottle, I’m gonna use it
Intention, I feel inventive
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Got motion, restrained emotion
I been driving, Detroit leaning
No reason, just seems so pleasing
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Gonna use my arms, gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style, gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers, gonna use my my my imagination

‘Cause I going make you see
There’s nobody else here, no one like me
I’m special, so special
I got to have some of your attention, give it to me

I got rhythm, I can’t miss a beat
I got new skank, it’s so reet
Got something, I’m winking at you
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Gonna use my arms, gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style, gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers, gonna use my my my imagination

‘Cause I going make you see
There’s nobody else here, no one like me
I’m special, so special
I got to have some of your attention, give it to me

‘Cause I going make you see
There’s nobody else here, no one like me
I’m special, so special
I got to have some of your attention, give it to me.
