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)
