Little girl (a-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Please stop your crying
That is why A-Trak is a five-time world champion DJ
'Cause he can fix any fuck-up, and, uh
(I'll be late for that) I'll be late for that, I can't wait for that
Had a taste of that (I'm messing up too, but, uh)
'Cause I'm coming in when I feel like
So turn this motherfucker up only if it feels right
(I'll be late for that) I'll be late for that, I can't wait for that
I think I was made for that
(I'll be late for that) so I'm coming in when I feel like
So turn this motherfucker up only if it feels right
Little girl (a-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Please stop your crying
'Cause I'll be late for that
I was flying, made it to school with barely enough time to sign in
Yeah, I hear the alarm, yeah, I hear you mom
Yeah, yeah, I 'on't wan' be broke when I'm 31
They say the best classes go to the fastest
Sorry Mr. West there's no good classes, and that's what yo' ass get
Not even electives? Not even prerequisites?
You mean I missed my major by a couple of seconds?
Now I'm in the shop class or the basket weaving
With all the rest of the motherfuckers underachieving
Man, this is a insult
I went to junior high with all of them and they been slow
If I can make it to the store, this is the intro
Then I said something, but I fucked it up real slow
Will I make it from the student loans to a Benz?
Like old folks pissing, I guess it all depends, oh, oh
Little girl (a-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Please stop your crying
'Cause I'll be late for that
I'll be late for that, I can't wait for that
I was made for that (I keep on fucking it up)
(I'll be late for that) 'cause I'm coming in when I feel like
So turn this motherfucker up only if it feels right
(I'll be late for that) yeah, I'll be late for that, I was made for that
I can't wait for that, yeah
(I'll be late for that) so I'm coming in when I feel like
So turn this motherfucker up only if it feels right
See, what-, you have to let this track
You have to let the CD play, it's a bonus track
Just let the CD play, let it play like a couple of extra seconds
And you'll hear, um
You know when you be late you miss all the lights
That's right (that's right), that's right (that's right)
Uh, and when you get back, she gon' start up a fight
That night (that night), that night
Baby, it's too late for that, lately, I've been taking it slow
Try and make it to the party 'fore the guest list close
With the freshest hoes, the professors know
We about to get real unprofessional
Like them Eskimos, what would you do for a Klondike?
Or two dykes that look Christina Milian like
Man, I'll be on time with that
I ain't thought of no line that could rhyme with that
Man, I'll be there in five minutes, five hours later?
"I'll be there in five minutes," go 'head, ride with it
I'm so live with it, look how I did it
Been bullshitting but I'm telling ya, I did it
I know it's late and I took all year
But you can stop complaining 'cause I'm finally here, yeah
'Cause I'll be late for that
Uh, I'm so bad, but I'm so glad
I'll be late for that
I'm so bad, I'm so bad, but I'm so glad
I'll be late for that (this is the part I took off)
I'm so bad, I'm so bad, but I'm so glad
I'll be late for that (hello, can I get some Autotune?)
I'm so bad, I'm so bad, but I'm so
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha
