Yo, Jorginho

It's another one from Kevinho

Can you believe it? (Can you believe it?)

This young girl is a terrorist, she's an expert

Look what she does at a funk party with her friends

This young girl is a terrorist, she's an expert

Look what she does at a funk party with her friends

Look what she does at a funk party with her friends

She's so explosive, don't mess with her

She's so explosive, don't play with her

Look at the explosion

When she hits the ground with her ass

When she moves her ass on the ground

When she throws her ass on the ground

When she grinds and her booty's on the floor

Floor, floor, floor, floor

When she hits the ground with her ass

When she moves her booty on the ground

When she throws her booty on the ground

Floor, floor, floor, floor

This young girl is a terrorist, she's an expert

Look what she does at a funk party with her friends

This young girl is a terrorist, she's an expert

Look what she does at a funk party with her friends

Look what she does at a funk party with her friends

She's so explosive, don't mess with her

She's so explosive, don't play with her

Look at the explosion

When she hits the ground with her ass

When she moves her ass on the ground

When she throws her ass on the ground

When she grinds and her booty's on the floor

Floor, floor, floor, floor

When she hits the ground with her ass

When she moves her booty on the ground

When she throws her booty on the ground

Floor, floor, floor, floor

...
