He attended Cypress Highschool and University of California, San Diego for two years before transferring to UCLA, where he earned a BA in Film & Television and a MFA in Film Directing and Production from the UCLA Film School.

Puff what up
Happy 22nd
Me and gloria on our way
We'll be there in a second
Pop a bottle out in jersey
In v.I.p
Only wit the girls that's worthy
And me I see
A lot
Well a few
Type thick
Type cute
All bad

Up until I seen you
Then my mind went blank
Couldn't think I wasn't thru
didn't drink enuff but it's because
I'm focused on you (Yea)
(Hook)
There's a million girls up in this club
Walking by smiles and hugs butchu

There's a million girls up in this party
Looking fly sipping bacardi butchu

Verse 2
Hmmmm
Lets see
How I'm gonna approach shorty different
Way way different from the rest these dudes
Offer a drink?
Just as I said that
Someone did that
I sat back and watched her dead that
Smooth
I walk up and in her ear say that was mean
You aint right
I'm sure you hurt and killed his self esteem
Ha ha ha ha ha
We giggling
Talking till that timbaland scream came on
Then she screamed this my song (
Scream / Lets dance)
Dance floor we was on thru
Joc " it's going down" and soulja boy " donk" song
(Yep)
Hips keep switching as the Dj switching
No scratching quick cutting
And the records he spinning
Was like a soundtrack to our first night
Slow jam you dance close
As I hold tight
Time to say so long
She say hold on
The fun don't end wit me
It goes on and on an on
(Hook)
There's a million girls up in this club
Walking by smiles and hugs butchu
Are wuninamillyun
There's a million girls up in this party
