lyrics are a little off ... "It's got me…scared and so sweet" is actually "GOT NEW SKANK IT'S SO REET" skank meaning moving side to side or dancing, reet meaning righteous. Understanding this site is for chords and tabs, but when you sing AND play, I thought it deserved correction.

I know this is about the chords but the lyrics are wrong. This song is written with British slang.
I got brass in pocket
I got bottle, I'm gonna use it
Intention, I feel inventive
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice and
Got motion, restrained emotion
Been driving, Detroit leaning
No reason, just seems so pleasing
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice
Gonna use my arms
Gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style
Gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my, imagination
'Cause I going make you see
There's nobody else here, no one like me
I'm special
(Special)
So special

I got have some of your attention, give it to me
I got rhythm, I can't miss a beat
I got a new Skank, so reet
Got something, I'm winking at you
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice
Gonna use my arms

GMaj7add9 has an A in the chord...that's the "add9"
GBDF#A are the notes in that chord (it's technically a "GMaj9" chord...no need to notate the 7th, it's implied when you have an 9th in the chord....(or a chord without a 7th {F#} in the voicing, would be called a Gadd9 {GBDA}
a D6/G has the same notes in it GABDf#...I know it can be confusing, but there are Rules in Music theory that dictate the use of 1 chord name over the other even though they have the same notes in them... This site has a CHORD theory page on it>>>https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/lessons/chords/basic_chord_theory_iii.html
As All great chefs have must earn/master certain "recipes"....MUSICIANS Must strive to have some knowledge of Music Theory in their arsenal;-)
