You were big city living
girlfriend like Eva Mendes
When your side chick called saying she might be pregnant
Now you're alone and crying
inside, you're slowly dying
'Cause Magic Mike just got your key

That's how you know you fucked up
That's how you know you fucked up
That's how you know you fucked up
That's how you know you fucked up

Bebe
You were the man in college; got a degree in awesome
And had more zeroes in your bank than all the Matrix
Now you're in your mama's basement, 'cause you spend every paycheck
The IRS your new best friend

That's how you know you fucked up
That's how you know you fucked up
That's how you know you fucked up
That's how you know you fucked up

Ha, oh
You had it going for you; moved out to California
Got lost in money, drugs, and women; now for all your dollars
Now Nico's unemployed and Vinz's love for coke destroyed him
So now we back in Norway

That's how we know we fucked up
That's how we know we fucked up (oh no!)
That's how we know we fucked up (hey)
That's how we know we fucked up
Fucked up, fucked up

Uh, yeah
Kid Ink
You used to be the big spender, grabbing the check every dinner
Showing out to your girlfriend's best friends just so they could wish they was with you (wait)
You ain't wanna hit the club, but the pressure got you out trying to get a table and a picture
Everybody Snapchat pictures, but ain't nobody trying to drive on the liquor, nah nah
I been getting so twisted, tie-dye, bye-bye
Think we should leave after I pay
But you forgot to save cash for the valet

That's how you know you fucked up (that's how you know)
That's how you know you fucked up
That's how you know you fucked up (that's how you know)
That's how you know you fucked up (that's how you know)
That's how you know you fucked up
(That's how you know you fucked up, you fucked up)
That's how you know you fucked up
(Yeah yeah yeah, that's how you know you fucked up, you fucked up)
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
