->''From my head to my toes\\
It's all real, and you know\\
Fresh and cool, it's just what I do\\
T-R-U-E-J-A-C-K-S-O-N, VP!\\
Working at a grown up job\\
Never really knew I could work this hard\\
Used to sit at home and watch TV\\
Now I'm in an office as the new VP\\
I'm always setting trends with my two best friends\\
When things get out of hand, we have a plan\\
We just messin' around, and we making new grounds\\
For the whole wide world to see\\
If you see us in town, you know it's going down\\
Cause I'm the new VP!''
