Lyrics & Translation
[English]
(Let's) excuse me, baby, (go) yeah, you, baby
(Back) ooh, you groovy, baby, (in) let's make a movie, baby
(Time) excuse me, baby, (let's) yeah, you, baby
(Go) ooh, you groovy, baby, (back) let's make a movie, baby (time)
It's Mr. Worldwide, Agent A, reportin' live, ha
From Cape Canaveral, MK, Big Syphe, let's ride
Back, back, in, in, time
Baby, oh, baby, oh, baby
My sweet baby, you're the one
(Woo) Miami equals, black mask (uh-huh), black clothes (uh-huh)
Wit' a little bit of rope to tie, I flipped it
Black suits (oh-yeah), white shirts (that's right), black glasses wit' a matchin' tie
Like Agent J or Agent K, and I wish the whole world would
Okay, I'm tryna make a billion outta 15 cents, understand, understood
I'm a go-getter, mover, shaker, culture, bury a boarder, record-breaker, won't ya
Give credit where credit is due, don't ya know that I don't give a number two?
Y'all just halfway thoughts, not worth the back of my mind
But to understand the future, we have to go back in time (woo)
Baby, oh, baby, oh, baby
My sweet baby, you're the one
(Woo) I got the globe, yeah, in the palm of my hand
Wherever I spin it, that's where I land (haha), let's save the world
Men In Black, I know you understand
Stop the movement, haha, they can try if they want to (that's right)
Ignorar lo latino, si, they can try if they want to (haha)
What Pit' solves is a bit raw, took like jigsaw and built it all
Despite a big loss, I'd bet it all, and fought blind against the world, Ray Charles, yeah
Y'all just halfway thoughts, huh (haha), not worth the back of my mind (hah)
But to understand the future, we have to go back in time (woo)
Baby, oh, baby, oh, baby
My sweet baby, you're the one
(Let's) excuse me, baby, (go) yeah, you, baby
(Back) ooh, you groovy, baby, (in) let's make a movie, baby
(Time) excuse me, baby, (let's) yeah, you, baby
(Go) ooh, you groovy, baby, (back) let's make a movie, baby (time)
Baby, my sweet baby
My sweet baby, my sweet baby
You're the o-, baby, oh, baby, oh, baby
My sweet baby, you're the one
