T-Pain - 5 O'Clock f/ Lily Allen & Wiz Khalifa

New music from the Mad Hatter.  The song samples Lily Allen's "Who'd of Known" and features Wiz Khalifa.  I think T-Pain finally has a hit on his hands, after dropping the ball with his last two attempts, "Rap Song" and "Best Love Song" f/ Chris Brown.

Check out 5 O'Clock below and tell me if you think big sexy's still got it. I can't even type that with a straight face.
