[English]
Yeah someone says my spoon’s filthy (I come from shitty background)I don’t care, when I grab MIC I beat them who got golden spoons
And lash out, there are many rare steaks not cooked properly
I’ll be chewing over and over at the star’s dinner
World business core
Number 1 favorite for casting sold out
Not many of this class, savor the value
With this good scent, stinking is a foul
MIC MIC BUNGEE
MIC MIC BUNGEE
BRIGHT LIGHT forward
You thought I was going down but I’M FINE sorry
My bad BILLBOARD
My bad WORLDWIDE
I’m sorry mom your son is so killing it
Should I chip in? For the duties you missed as a good child
In our concert we never have no empty seat
I DO IT. I DO IT. You’re a tasteless RATATOUILLE
If you’re so jealous and it hurts then file a lawsuit
SUE IT
Did you see my bag?
Did you see my bag?
It's hella trophies and it's hella thick
What you think bout that?
What you think bout that?
I bet it got my haters hella sick
Come and follow me follow me with your signs up
I'm so firin' firin' boy your time’s up
Keep on and runnin' and runnin' until I catch up
HOW YOU DARE
Another trophy
My hands carry 'em
Too many that I can't even count 'em

Once upon a time
We learnt how to fly
Go look at your mirror

How many hours do we fly
I keep on dreamin' on the cloud
Yeah I’m on the mountain
Yeah I’m on the bay
Everyday we vibin'
MIC Drop Baam

Your cornea gets shocked when it sees us
Quite quite stylish s- s- stylish
