[English]

Uh, yo, that dropped out what the fuck?

How do I, hang on...

Oh there we go

Shits fuckin' banging, okay, yo

Yeah, uh, first up I'd just like to say

Fuck you, Thomas

Look at me now

Up in fucking Zef Studios, South Africa

Where are you?

Still living at your mum's house

Anyway, tell her I say hi

Yo, my life is a porno

Got all these sexy girls loving my raw flow

Like this one chick with the fat bum and the tight little corn rolls

Woke me up and said: "Smiley I've got a sore throat"

"And sore bum from last night", yeah, I've got a fat dick

When she first saw it she was like, "It's fuckin' gigantic!"

In the candlelight, I made the vibe all nice and romantic

She was way impressed, she said: "I've never sucked a dick that big!"

I don't really like skinny bitches, I prefer thicker chicks

My dick's obviously not small, but Ninjas got a bigger dick

His dick is a miracle, I can't take my eyes off it

I promise I'm not gay, but I kind've admire it

I respect Ninja a lot 'cause he is a really good rhymer

When we hit the town, we drown in a fuckin' sea of vagina

I recently moved to LA and uh, I must say LA is nice

Plus all the girls there really like fucking famous guys

I like girls company, but I'm also happy to stay at home

All day alone, high as fuck, wanking to Game Of Thrones

I really miss Khaleesi, Game of Thrones was my favorite show

If I dated her, we wouldn't fuck straight away, we'd just take it slow

Girls think I'm mysterious 'cause I fuck with a mask on

I'm not a 2 minute noodle, yeah baby, I last long

'Cause if a girl doesn't come, then, I feel like a failure

Smiley, a young OG from Australia
