song. It's not all about smoking weed.
It's more like what I do when I'm in a party
environment, looking at the ladies passing,
realizing which one is sexy, which one is going
to catch my flow. Realizing that I got my dough,
let's bust some Moet. That song is about what I
do in a club."- April 26: Sean Paul topped the
