Her lyrics are mostly from her Caribbean dialect so if you don't understand it is because you are not a Caribbean person

shes only made this record because of all the little 9 yr old girls on their itunes running the charts. she probably wrote it in a second, and watch all the billions coming into her bank account. Michael Jackson will always be the king of music.
