Burn it all down, need to buy another round
Gonna light up in the sound of the speaker
Knee socks, drink tequila on the rocks
'Til you make your body pops to the speaker
Burn it all down, need to buy another round
Gonna light up in the sound of the speaker
Show your knee socks, drink tequila on the rocks
'Til you make your body pops to the speaker
(I wanna go) Downtown where my posse's at
(Because I got) nine lives like a kitty cat
(Uh, you wanna roll, that's how I roll)
(I wanna go) bling-bling when I hear that bass
(I'm gonna do) my thing if you wanna taste
(Uh, you better know, uh, that's how I roll)
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Feel the earthquake, gonna make your body shake
'Til the circuits starts to break in the speaker
Can we get fly? Helicopter in the sky
'Cause we turn it up high in the speaker
If you know what it takes to be my man
We can go make love together
You can be my thug tonight
We can tear it up tonight
(I wanna go) Downtown where my posse's at
(Because I got) nine lives like a kitty cat
(Uh, you wanna roll, that's how I roll)
(I wanna go) bling-bling when I hear that bass
(I'm gonna do) my thing if you wanna taste
(Uh, you better know, uh, that's how I roll)
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Shimmy, shimmy-ya, shimmy-yo, shimmy-yay
We could give them what they want or we could take it away
Try our luck tonight, we can tear it up tonight
If you know what it takes to be my man
We can go make love together
You can be my thug tonight
We can tear it up tonight
(I wanna go) Downtown where my posse's at
(Because I got) nine lives like a kitty cat
(Uh, you wanna roll, that's how I roll)
(I wanna go) bling-bling when I hear that bass
(I'm gonna do) my thing if you wanna taste
(Uh, you better know, uh, that's how I roll)
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
