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, check

Brittany:
You can't hold me (WMHS Girls: Can't hold me)
I work my 9 to 5 and I (with the WMHS Girls: cut my cheque)

Brittany with the WMHS Girls:
This goes out to all the women getting it in,
You on your grind
To 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 bear the children
Then get back to business

See, you better not play me (Santana: Me)
Don't come here baby (Santana: Baby)
Hope you still like me (Santana: Like me)

Trivia[]

  • This is one of the rare cases in which a backup-singer has a few lines during a song.
  • During the song, Lauren Zizes made a non-speaking role. She joins at the end and dance with the rest of the girls and celebrates the candidacy of Brittany.
  • When the girls lie down during the part in the Gymnasium, only The Unholy Trinity are seen standing.
