[English]

Yo!

Big Shaq,

the one and only.

Man's not hot,

never hot.

Skrra!

Skidi-kat-kat.

Boom!

Two plus two is four,

minus one that's three, quick maths.

Everyday man's on the block,

smoke trees.

See your girl in the park,

that girl is an uckers.

When the ting went quack-quack-quack,

you man were ducking.

Hold tight, Asnee,

he's my brudda.

He's got the pumpy.

Hold tight, my man,

my guy.

He's got a frisbee.

I trap, trap, trap on the phone,

moving that cornflakes.

Rice Krispies.

Hold tight, my girl Whitney.

On the road doing ten toes

like my toes.

You man thought I froze.

I see a peng girl then I pose.

If she ain't on it, I ghost.

Hah, look at your nose.

What?

You donut,

nose long like garden hose.

I tell her man's not hot,

I tell her man's not hot.

The girl told me, "Take off your jacket."

I said, "Babes, man's not hot."

I tell her man's not hot,

I tell her man's not hot.

The girl told me, "Take off your jacket."

I said, "Babes, man's not hot."

Hop out the four-door with the .44.

It was one, two, three and four.

Chilling in the corridor.

Your dad is forty-four,

and he's still calling man for a draw.

Let him know.

When I see him,

I'm gonna spin his jaw.

Take man's Twix by force.

Send man's shop by force.

Your girl knows I've got the sauce,

no ketchup.

Just sauce,

raw sauce.

Ah, yo, boom.

The ting goes skrrrahh, pap, pap, ka-ka-ka

Skibiki-pap-pap, and a pu-pu-pudrrrr-boom.

Skya, du-du-ku-ku-dun-dun

Poom, poom!

Legend.

Legend.

Legend!

You're gonna win more.

I tell her man's not hot,

I tell her man's not hot.

I tell her man's not hot,

never hot.

The girl told me, "Take off your jacket."

I said, "Babes, man's not hot."

Man can never be hot.

Perspiration ting,

Lynx effect.

You didn't hear me, did you?

Use roll-on

or spray.

But either way, A, B, C, D

The ting goes skrrrahh!
