[English]

A different vibe, I'll teach you, teach you

I'll sit, I'll bounce, and I'll go down all at once, at once

This hit is like chewing gum, it'll stick in your mind

I sit, I sit, I sit, I sit, I sit and bounce slowly

I sit, I sit, I sit, I sit, I sit and bounce slowly

I sit, I sit, I sit, I sit, I sit and bounce slowly

You don't need to exaggerate, much less get carried away

You're gonna sit, you're gonna sit, you're gonna sit slowly

You're gonna sit, you're gonna sit, you're gonna sit slowly

You're gonna sit, you're gonna sit, you're gonna sit slowly

Our crew is wicked

Come here, I'll teach you

To go down, to go up, to bounce and twerk

To go down, to go up, to bounce and twerk

To go down, to go up, to bounce and twerk

To go down, to go up, to bounce and twerk

To bounce and twerk

To bounce and twerk (what's up, DJ?)

Fish scales only! (uaaaai!)

Cebruthius!
