How do you do-do-do?

I thought why not? Nana, nana

Just me

and you

Start the danger

Rearranger

Not so cool

Mercy

I'm the vapor

On the radar

Get up on the mic and shout it

Yah, move it

I spit bricks got the kicks in the mix

My prick's longer than rigs

Party of bricks like Jackie X

No diggedy diggedy HP

I'm the bad boy, roll MC, so sexy

How do you do-ooh?

I thought why not? Nana

Just me and you

and then we can

Nana, nana

Just like before and you will say

Nana, nana

Please give me more and you

How do you do?

I thought why not? Nana, nana

Just me and you

and then we can

Nana, nana

Just like before and you will say

Nana, nana

Please give me more and you

Yes

Jump that beat, jump that beat

Won't let you go?

Me got the flow

Mash up the show

Shalak

K nami nama

Like a hammer

A burning candle

Fixed up with the spanner

(Move it)

I slip chips, rapping in da mix

Wanna see your tricks, spit, kicks

For da hits with the lyrical tricks

No diggedy diggedy diggedy, listen

Got a late night - early morning mission

How do you do?

I thought why not? Nana

Just me and you

and then we can, nana

Just like before and you will say, nana nana

Please give me more and you

How do you do-ooh?

Wonderful bars fat like Michael's arse

This is an announcement:

The question is

Alright

Big up the crew
