Not even to tie my shoes
We're blessed no matter what
God save me from jerks
Dareyes De La Sierra
Eh, eh, eh
That's Darey, baby
The streets gave me my diploma
And now I cruise in my ride
Always with a bombshell by my side
Barbie face, but a tough girl
I never bow my head
Not even to tie my shoes
We're blessed no matter what
God save me from jerks
And now I've got cash
I light up some weed
To smoke with the crew
The girls are texting
To come over to their place
'Cause they want to see some action
Brandy and a good time
Tequila, beer, champagne, and good vibes
The wild times are good
The partying is good
F***ing jerks
Who talk for no reason
I inhale and exhale, releasing the bad
And those who criticize me
Ha, ha, they're really laughable
Look at that little butt
What a hot babe
Y, eh, eh
And the S of Darey
Doble P, Doble P
That's Darey, baby
Eh, eh
Uoh, uoh
It's DLS
This is DLS
It's Darey
Uoh, uoh, uoh
School used to bore me as a kid
And I'd smoke weed with my friends
Studying was never my thing
But I knew how to get out of the hole
I never back down from work
But I also like to have fun
Saint Jude always illuminates me
It's Friday, let's go grab some cold ones
And now I've got cash
I light up some weed
To smoke with the crew
The girls are texting
To come over to their place
'Cause they want to see some action
Brandy and a good time
Tequila, beer, champagne, and good vibes
The wild times are good
The partying is good
F***ing jerks
Who talk for no reason
I inhale and exhale, releasing the bad
And those who criticize me
Ha, ha, they're really laughable
Look at that little butt
What a hot babe
And now I've got cash
I light up some weed
To smoke with the crew
The girls are texting
To come over to their place
'Cause they want to see some action
Brandy and a good time
Tequila, beer, champagne, and good vibes
The wild times are good
The partying is good
F***ing jerks
Who talk for no reason
I inhale and exhale, releasing the bad
And those who criticize me
Ha, ha, they're really laughable
Look at that little butt
What a hot babe
