I ain't come here to try merk anybody
But forget the hype if it's on then it's on
I´ll dunna mans dance then I'm gone then I'm gone
Skeng daddy bars when I'm on when I'm on
I just wanna make a lickle vibe for the gyaldem
Hotel pop off the thong then it's on
With a lickle bit of hydrate; Dom Perignon
Champagne, Hennessy, not very long

So pass me the bitter let me get heavy on
Buff ting gally rude boy sling it on
There's too many man, too many many man
I'll slew any man, slew any any man
