Quotable Lyrics:

They told me everybody’s 15 minutes in a different timezone

And since I have it at the moment

You the one I wanna shine my light on

Get your life, get your life, little mama

Won’t you get your life on?

Ain’t nothing cooler than the wrong moves

When you do ’em to the right song, the right song

Let’s shoot this movie and put the shit on repeat
