[English]

Yo, yo

We’re sending a lot

Crazy mode, full, candle, brr (baby)

Ah, yeah (eh, yo, Gangsta)

Baby, you’re so sweet, your booty, booty, booty, booty, booty, booty

You’ve got a big butt, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump

Baby, you’re so sweet, your booty, booty, booty, booty, booty, booty

You’ve got a big butt, jump, jump, jump, jump (jump)

This is made for the party, for the boats, for the street

Friends, women, everybody dance, yo! (yeah)

Fire up the engines, light it up

Order all the bottles, we came to spend them today

You’ve got a giant butt, baby, twerk for me when I sing

You’re with the Rude Boys and the gangsters

Natural and with implants, but everything should be big

You’re of legal age, you’re already grown

Oh no, when that girl looked at me

I liked it, I sense she likes me too

Her bad intentions, I know they’re just for fun

I fell for her, I took her and we ended up together

Baby, you’re so sweet, your booty, booty, booty, booty, booty, booty

You’ve got a big butt, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump

Baby, you’re so sweet, your booty, booty, booty, booty, booty, booty

You’ve got a big butt, jump, jump, jump, jump (eh-eh)

Booty is my weak spot, I like them over 40

You blow in your …

A little good bullet, good bullet, cayon

I love MILFs, the older the better

Lots of booty, her … becomes X

Women … mother … especially those with …

If she wears a parachute, she looks like a …

I … (unclear)

Oh no, when that girl looked at me

I liked it, I sense she likes me too

Her bad intentions, I know they’re just for fun

I fell for her, I took her and we ended up together

Baby, you’re so sweet, your booty, booty, booty, booty, booty, booty

You’ve got a big butt, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump

Baby, you’re so sweet, your booty, booty, booty, booty, booty, booty

You’ve got a big butt, jump, jump, jump, jump

Rage, rage, we …

Spanish, Papiamento, do you know how?

Ryan Castro, Dongolicious

Yo, aha (yo, Gangsta, aha)

Jump, jump, jump, jump

You’ve got a big butt, jump, jump, jump, jump
