Hmm, tell me about your childhood

Oh

At the tender age of three

I was hooked to a machine

Just to keep my mouth from spouting junk

Ha, must have took me for a fool

'Cause they chucked me out of school

'Cause the teacher knew I had the funk

But tonight, I'm on the edge

You better shut me in the fridge

'Cause I'm burning up

Ow, I'm burning up

With the vision in my brain

And the music in my veins

And the dirty rhythm in my blood

They are messing with my heart

And they're messing with my heart

And they're messing with my heart

Won't stop messing with my

I'm the breather on the phone

And I'm burning up, ow

But there's one thing I must say

'Fore they lock me up again

You'd be safer at the back

When I'm having an

Attack, attack, attack, attack

Hyperactive when I'm small

Hyperactive, now I'm tall

Hyperactive as the day is long

Hyperactive in my bones

Hyperactive in your phones

Hyperactive and the night is young

Hyperactive when I'm small

Hyperactive, now I'm grown

Hyperactive 'til I'm dead and gone

Stand up, hyperactivate

Get up, hyperactivate

Wise up, hyperactivate

London, hyperactivate

Hyperactive when I'm small

Hyperactive, now I'm tall

Hyperactive as the day is long

Hyperactive in my bones

Hyperactive in your phones

Hyperactive and the night is young

Hyperactive when I'm small

Hyperactive, now I'm grown
