[English]

We don’t need any other sign

Paint the town with the green lights

Pedal to the metal, like a bike

I just gotta get it

watch me go, go, go, go, go, go

I just gotta get it

watch me go, go, go, go, go, go

I just gotta get it

Bring the new beat

Bring the new hit

Bring the new sheet

We make the new sh-

Bring the new beat

Bring the new hit

Bring the new sheet

I’m on the new sh-

Pull up to the studio with our pants low, here we go

Drippy, just like a drain that’s leaky

Callin’ a new wave, like Poseidon

Martin (That’s so fire) Play that beat (That’s so fire)

Lit up the studio, make night bright as day

We made one today and this track is so sick

Bring the levels up, this song kicks, it runs the city

We don’t need any other sign

Paint the town with the green lights

Pedal to the metal, like a bike

I just gotta get it

watch me go, go, go, go, go, go

I just gotta get it

watch me go, go, go, go, go, go

I just gotta get it

Ever since I was little I been the neighborhood weirdo

Pop star in my mind all the way back in 8th grade

Got our caps on lock, enter a new era and push on

When the olds see us they give us a thumbs up

Watch me, I’m gon’ spit it

Pop n pop, I'm in hit mode

Wanna make a hit like a hitman so I reload

Chk-chk reload, uh uh, reload

Soon as I see the signal I go swish like a free throw

We don’t need any other sign

Paint the town with the green lights

Pedal to the metal, like a bike

I just gotta get it

watch me go, go, go, go, go, go

I just gotta get it

watch me go, go, go, go, go, go

I just gotta get it

Bring the new beat

Bring the new hit

Bring the new sheet

We make the new sh-

Bring the new beat

Bring the new hit

Bring the new sheet

I’m on the new sh-
