[English]

We in the car, we ride slow

We doin' things that the girls don't do

The boys stare, we smile back

All my girls in the rainbow Cadillacs, yeah!

Show stoppin' at the latest spot

The ride shinin' with the open top

Hydraulics make our heads go nod

Hair blowin' in the breeze, yo we superstars

Put in the keys, make that engine purr

3 in the back, one in the passenger

Slow creepin' 'cause we look that fly

All the boys tryin' taste our candy pie

We in the car, we ride slow

We doin' things that the girls don't do

The boys stare, we smile back

All my girls in the rainbow Cadillacs, yeah!

Bet you ain't never seen chicks ridin' this clean

Louis Vuitton seats, we do it daily

That how we keep it poppin', make sure that bass knockin'

So when you see us ridin' we call it show stoppin'

We show stoppin', we show, show stoppin'

We show stoppin', we show, show stoppin'

That's how we keep it poppin', make sure that bass knockin'

So when you see us ridin' we call it show stoppin'

We sittin' on 22's plus 2

Mink bucket seats, neon blue

Color coordinate with them shoes

Yeah, we divas but we ride like big boys do

Black tinted with a white stripe interstate

Lookin' in the mirror at my bad boy fitted, yup

Show stoppin' till they lose they breath

Turn the wheel to the right, turn the wheel to the left

We in the car, we ride slow

We doin' things that the girls don't do

The boys stare, we smile back

All my girls in the rainbow Cadillacs, yeah!

Bet you ain't never seen chicks ridin' this clean

Louis Vuitton seats, we do it daily

That how we keep it poppin', make sure that bass knockin'

So when you see us ridin' we call it show stoppin'

We show stoppin', we show, show stoppin'

We show stoppin', we show, show stoppin'

That's how we keep it poppin', make sure that bass knockin'

So when you see us ridin' we call it show stoppin'

This is for my ladies in the 280's Mercedes

In the H3, Baby Ranges, Bentley Coups, my Escaladies

Say oh

(Oh!)

Oh oh

(Oh oh!)

Break 'em off somethin' proper like a real show stopper

This is for my chicas with the Beamers, A6's

67 Chevys, Maserati or a Lexus

Ay oh

(Oh!)

Oh oh

(Oh oh!)

Break 'em off somethin' proper like a real show stopper

Gon' jingle them keys, gon' jingle them keys

Put? em up real high, make sure e'rybody see? em

One time

(One time)

Two times

(Two times)

Three times

(Three times)

Fo' times

Gon' jingle them keys, gon' jingle them keys

Put? em up real high, make sure e'rybody see? em

One time

(One time)

Two times

(Two times)

Three times

(Three times)

Fo' times

(Fo' times)

We in the car, we ride slow

We doin' things that the girls don't do

The boys stare, we smile back

All my girls in the rainbow Cadillacs, yeah!

Bet you ain't never seen chicks ridin' this clean

Louis Vuitton seats, we do it daily

That how we keep it poppin', make sure that bass knockin'

So when you see us ridin' we call it show stoppin'

We show stoppin', we show, show stoppin'

We show stoppin', we show, show stoppin'

That's how we keep it poppin', make sure that bass knockin'

So when you see us ridin' we call it show stoppin'
