Yeah, who’d thought that this little dude right here?
Chris Brown, prissy boy from Tappahannock, Virginia (Ha ha, ha)
I ain’t think this voice would get me this far
God pulled a fast one (Ha ha)
V.A. this one’s for y’all, baby
All my dudes in E-Town, stay up
And for my team, Mark Pitts, Tina Davis
(Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
Mom, Dad, I’ma make y’all proud
Aight, we here
Reflections of an Emerging Star
