[English]

Uh

You wanna guess the colour of my underwear

You wanna know what I got going on down there

Is it pretty in pink or all see-through?

Is it showing off my brand new lower back tattoo?

You wanna put 'em in your mouth, pull 'em all down south

You wanna turn this shit out, that's what I'm talking about

Pu-pu-put 'em in your mouth, pull 'em all down south

You wanna turn this shit out, that's what I'm talking about (yeah)

Try it, bite it, lick it, spit it

Pull it to the side and get all up in it

Wear 'em, post 'em, might remix it

Send them to The Dare, yeah, I think he's with it

Try it, bite it, lick it, spit it

Pull it to the side and get all up in it

Wear 'em, post 'em, might remix it

Send them to The Dare, yeah, I think he's with it

You wanna guess the colour of my underwear

You wanna know what I got going on down there

Is it pretty in pink or all see-through?

Is it showing off my brand new lower back tattoo?

You wanna put 'em in your mouth, pull 'em all down south

You wanna turn this shit out, that's what I'm talking about

You wanna try it, bite it, lick it, spit it

Pull it to the side and get all up in it

Wear 'em, post 'em, might remix it

Send them to The Dare, yeah, I think he's with it

Think he's with it

Guess

Yeah

Yeah

Guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess

Guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess

Guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess

Guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess

Guess how much money I just took from this deal

Wanna guess the password to my Google Drive

You wanna guess the address of the party I'm at

You wanna guess if I'm serious about this song
