L.A M.A.N.O, nothing to hide, bunch of haters
Ah, ah, ah
Maximum Beats
Ah, ah, don't worry, yeah don't worry
You're the most beautiful, yeah, the most beautiful on my phone
Artificial, but who's pulling the strings
I feel like I'm on a leash, I feel that
Sometimes, like money, you leave
That night, you left me speechless
Me, I want a Parisian woman, Parisian
Who crosses on a green light, who doesn't care about the Eiffel Tower
A Parisian woman, Parisian
Who crosses on a green light, who doesn't care about the Eiffel Tower
It's the Warano, R.A.T touch
You're not part of the crew
She likes guys in the spotlight with charisma, you won't get her
Champs-Élysées, stroll towards the Champs-Élysées
Baby, the cops have located me, take the wheel, I've been drinking
She turns on the dim lights... she has
She turns on the dim lights
With me when it was tough, she wants seriousness, not to have fun
My Parisian woman, she wants it, and so do I
She fell from the sky, she's incredibly hot
Me, I want a Parisian woman, Parisian
Who crosses on a green light, who doesn't care about the Eiffel Tower
A Parisian woman, Parisian
Who crosses on a green light, who doesn't care about the Eiffel Tower
Avenue Montaigne, nothing personal
But too many professionals, they don't leave me alone
It's going to cut out, I have the excuse of the tunnel
Number one, again this week
Sometimes, like money, you leave
That night, you left me speechless
Me, I want a Parisian woman, Parisian
Who crosses on a green light, who doesn't care about the Eiffel Tower
A Parisian woman, Parisian
Who crosses on a green light, who doesn't care about the Eiffel Tower
Tonight, I'm gonna kill it, we're taking out the big money
Call the firefighters, firefighters, firefighters
And tonight, I'm gonna kill it, we're taking out the big money
Call the firefighters, firefighters, firefighters
I said tonight, I'm gonna kill it, papa
We're taking out the big money, mama
Call the firefighters, firefighters, firefighters
