I can’t seem to get any work done these days without the accompaniment of Bruno Mars’ 24k Magic album vibing in my ears! Every song on that album is lyrical gold, I tell y’all the midget is a genius! Lol. There are so many excellent songs on the radio that I hear and play on repeat…and never find out they’re Bruno’s until I come across a video or something randomly and I see the little man with his fancy footwork jiving on my screen. I think he is the perfect embodiment of this principle my office is forever trying to tout but the employees just won’t let them be great “Under Promise and Over Deliver”. Bruno is an over deliverer, haba! Hey Bruno, we’re hiring FYI!

The irreverent lyrics to lead single on the eponymous 24k Magic album, 24k Magic:

Tonight
I just want to take you higher
Throw your hands up in the sky
Let’s set this party off right

Players, put yo’ pinky rings up to the moon
Girls, what y’all trying to do?
Twenty four karat magic in the air
Head to toe so player
Look out uh

Pop pop, it’s show time (show time)
Show time (show time)
Guess who’s back again?
Oh they don’t know? (Go on tell ’em)
Oh they don’t know? (Go on tell ’em)
I bet they know soon as we walk in (showin’ up)
Wearing Cuban links (ya)
Designer minks (ya)
Inglewood’s finest shoes (whoop, whoop)
Don’t look too hard might hurt ya’self
Known to give the color red the blues

Oh sh*t,

“I’m a dangerous man with some money in my pocket (keep up)”

So many pretty girls around me and they waking up the rocket (keep up)
Why you mad, fix ya face, ain’t my fault y’all be jocking (keep up)

Players only, come on
Put your pinky rings up to the moon
Girls, what y’all trying to do?
Twenty four karat magic in the air
Head to toe so player
Uh, look out!

Second verse for the hustlas (hustlas) gangstas (gangstas)
Bad b*tches and ya ugly ass friends (haha)
Can I preach (uh oh) can I preach (uh oh)
I gotta show ’em how a pimp get it in
First, take your sip (sip), do your dip (dip)
Spend your money like money ain’t shit (whoop, whoop)

“We too fresh
Got to blame in on Jesus
Hashtag blessed, they ain’t ready for me!”

I’m a dangerous man with some money in my pocket (keep up)
So many pretty girls around me and they waking up the rocket (keep up)
Why you mad, fix ya face, ain’t my fault y’all be jocking (keep up)

Players only, come on
Put your pinky rings up to the moon
Hey girls
What y’all trying to do? (What y’all trying to do?)
Twenty four karat magic in the air
Head to toe so player
Uh, look out!

everywhere I go they be like
Ooh, so player
Everywhere I go they be like (ooh, so player ooh)
Oh everywhere I go they be like (ooh, so player ooh)

Now, now, now watch me break it down like (uh)
Twenty four karat, twenty four karat magic
What’s that sound (twenty four karat, twenty four karat magic)
Come on now
Twenty four karat, twenty four karat magic
Don’t fight the feeling, invite the feeling

Just put your pinky rings up to the moon
Girls, what y’all trying to do? (Tell me what y’all trying to do)
Twenty four karat magic in the air
Head to toe so player (hands up!)
Put your pinky rings up to the moon
Girls, what y’all trying to do? (Do)
Twenty four karat magic in the air
Head to toe so player (twenty four karat) uh, look out
