Brittany und Santana mit den Mädchen:
It's hot up in here
DJ don't be scared to run this, run this back
I'm repping for the girls who taking over the world
Have me raise a glass for the college grads
Anyone rolling I'll let you know what time it is
You can't hold me
I broke my 9 to 5 and copped my cheque

This goes out to all the women getting it in,
Get on your grind
To the other men that respect what I do
Please accept my shine

Brittany:
Boy I know you love it
How we're smart enough to make these millions
Strong enough to bare the children
Then get back to business
See, you better not play me
Don't come here baby
Hope you still like me
if you pay me!
