Quotable Lyrics:

You would've thought that I finally made drum major, the way I play with the bands
You would've thought that I worked at the venue, the way that I pack out the stands
Would've thought that I worked at the mall, the way that my closet expands
Would've thought me and you was involved, the way that you holdin' my hand
