Birthday Cake

Get up, get down, come on, let’s go, kick it
I know you’re ready now, this is the ticket
Get with it & don’t get it twisted
This is it, we’re getting to business
I’m gunna’ unwind
I’m gunna’ cut loose
‘cause it’s about time
That we cut up the cake a break out the grape juice

I’m anxious but let’s be logical
Right now’s the best time possible
You’re not a work, not in the hospital
Not accountable, you can’t be held responsible
So give it up, be aware
Self-consciousness had got you scared
Throw your hands up, mess up your hair-do
Fuck the things that they compare us to.

Pull me into another direction, unaware it was too late
In my eyes I’m releasing the tension, lipstick & birthday-cake

Get up, get down, come on, let’s go, kick it
I know you’re ready, let’s not waste another minute
Get with it and don’t get it twisted
This is it, we’re getting to business
I’m gunna’ unwind
I’m gunna’ cut loose
And it’s about time
That we cut up the cake a break out the grape juice

I’m anxious but I hate to say that
That it’s safe to say that
We make complaints, when we waste the day
just sitting in an office making cake cause there’s bills to pay
So give it up, be brave
Self-consciousness has us afraid
Throw your hands up, mess up your hair-do
Fuck the things that they compare us to.
