    by: M.I.A.

    Can you keep a secret
    From them other people
    If I tell you 'bout wha-gwan?
    And would you let me know
    If I forget the secret
    Took my eye off of the Ball?
    Cause Bingo, now I'm hitting the 6
    I know what's going on
    I know how you going on
    I got the ra ra
    Go ahead and throw the ball
    I don't be running at all
    I got my own goal
    I stand in one place
    And make sure I just hit the ball
    Can you keep a secret
    From them other people
    If I tell you 'bout wha-gwan?
    And would you let me know
    If I forget the secret
    Took my eye off of the Ball?
    Cause Bingo, now I'm hitting the 6

    For the sake of havin' fun
    Can you keep a secret
    From them other people
    If I tell you 'bout wha-gwan?
    And would you let me know
    If I forget the secret
    Took my eye off of the Ball?
