[English]

Boom, boom, boom

Boom, boom, boom (Stop playin' with 'em, RIOT)

Boom, boom, boom

Boom, boom, boom (Jump down)

I wanna see you move right now (Right now)

I wanna see you move right now (Right now)

Let's take it to the moon right now (Right now)

Baby, you such a mood right now (Right now)

And I told her, "We takin' it up to the top" (Huh? What?)

And I said that we turnin' this shit up a notch (Bop, bop)

When they playin' my song, they said it's a bop (Like, what? Drop, bitch)

When I dance to the beat, like, this shit is a bop (Bop, bop)

I make sure that she a rider, do you know I play Madonna

Baby, know that I wanna rock out like it's Nirvana

And find out all about you

Girl, tell me all your problems

Fly you to my cidade

You got me thinkin' 'bout them times

I be gettin' the money, been on my grind

Baby, lovin' your body and that's no lie

I'm buggin', am I high? I be trippin', might lose my mind

Higher

Higher

That's on my soul

That's on my so-o-o-o-o-oul

You got ass in them jeans

She like, "You act or you stream?"

So I said, "I rap and I sing"

Girl, I can do everything

I'm from the block where I seen

Niggas drop flies from a beam

She like old Travis, she fein

She wanna touch up her knee

She light skin with a fat ass

And I wanna tap, tap, tap that

She talk dirty, I talk bad

She wear Chanel on her handbag

Let's stop the cap, they big mad

That Lamborghini too fast

They follow me everywhere I go

PJ to Monaco

Bota, bota, bota

Shawty go tell me

Bota, bota, bota

You got me thinkin' 'bout them times

I be gettin' the money, been on my grind

Baby, lovin' your body and that's no lie

I'm buggin', am I high? I be trippin', might lose my mind

Higher

Higher

That's on my soul

That's on my so-o-o-o-o-oul

I wanna see you move right now (Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)

I wanna see you mood right now (Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)

(That's on my soul)

Let's take it to the moon right now (That's on my so-o-o-o-o-oul)

Baby, you such a mood right now

Abonne-toi
