[English]

Yeah bitch, yeah bitch, call me Steve-o

I'm a wild boy, fuck an eighth I need o's

Yeah bitch, yeah bitch, call me Steve-o

Yeah bitch, yeah bitch, call me Steve-o

I'm a wild boy, I'ma I'ma wild boy

Yeah bitch, yeah bitch, call me Steve-o

Yeah bitch, yeah bitch, call me Steve-o

I'm a wild boy, I'ma I'ma wild boy

I'm a wild boy, fuck an eighth I need o's

I'm an East side Cleveland wild boy (East side Cleveland wild boy)

We got baseball bats like the Indians and my team pop off like cowboys

You're a white flag, throw that towel boy

I'm a jump right in that crowd boy

You're a shhh! keep it down boy

And I'm a fuck you blow that loud boy

All I know is how to kill every one of my selves

All they know is they can kill anybody but Kells

I am untouchable, you would think I was in jail

But I'm in Mexico getting marijuana from Miguel

Bring it back into the States, put it on a scale

Measure out a half a eighth, put it in a shell

Split it then I roll it and light it up like it's Independence Day

I got a bottle rocket, put it in the air

Snap back with my city on it

Text back with your titties on it

Levis, put your kitty on it

Start grinding like the Clipse is on it

Drink until I get pissy biatch

Smoke until I get dizzy biatch

Lose control like Missy

But I'm a bad boy 'cause I'm with Diddy bitch (Uh uh)

There he go that's John Doe

Uh uh

There he go, that's John Doe

Uh yeah

There he go, that's John Doe

Nevermind that's just Kells with that heat (No), no LeBron though

Yeah bitch, yeah bitch, call me Steve-o

Yeah bitch, yeah bitch, call me Steve-o

I'm a wild boy, I'ma I'ma wild boy

I'm a wild boy, fuck an eighth I need o's

Yeah bitch, yeah bitch, call me Steve-o

Yeah bitch, yeah bitch, call me Steve-o

I'm a wild boy, I'ma I'ma wild boy

I'm a wild boy, fuck an eighth I need o's

Brick Squad!

Uh oh here come that bullshit

Beat a nigga ass 'til the DJ stop the music

They say they want that wild shit, mosh pit, jump up in the crowd bitch

I'm so motherfucking violent

Yeah bitch, yeah bitch I'm with Steve-o

We bustin' bottles with bad bitches, blowin' weed smoke

Yeah bitch, yeah bitch I'm with Steve-o

Royal rumble in the club, John Cen-o

I'm screamin' Riverdale everywhere I go

I throw them bands hoe (Hey shawty) drop it low

Fuck 5-0, I make my own rules

Suck my dragon balls bitch, call me Goku

Yeahhhhhhhh!

This liquor got the best of me

Yeahhhhhhhh!

This liquor got the best of me

Machine Gun Kelly, Flocka, that's the recipe

You gon' need king kong if you step to me

Yeah Cobain's back

Yeah Cobain's back

Got these crazy white boys yellin' Cobain's back

I call my weed Nirvana

Smells like teen spirit

And my pack's so fuckin' loud you can't hear it (What?)

Ahhhhh!

Yeah bitch, yeah bitch, call me Steve-o

Yeah bitch, yeah bitch, call me Steve-o

I'm a wild boy, I'ma I'ma wild boy

I'm a wild boy, fuck an eighth I need o's

Yeah bitch, yeah bitch, call me Steve-o

Yeah bitch, yeah bitch, call me Steve-o

I'm a wild boy, I'ma I'ma wild boy

I'm a wild boy, fuck an eighth, I need o's

I'm a wild boy, I'ma I'ma wild boy

I'm a wild boy, I'ma I'ma wild boy

I'm a wild boy, I'ma I'ma wild boy

I'm a wild boy, I'ma I'ma wild boy
