[English]

Eyes on the vision 环绕世界飞

车开在前头他们在后面追着

自信与快乐不用谁来给

When I be doing my thing I get excited excited

Light the fire fire

Baby ignite ignite it

Baby just keep it goin' we just vibin' vibin'

Light the fire fire

Baby ignite ignite it

Hoping you feelin' fine you feel ok

You don't have to hide your face

You don't have to feel erased

You're perfect in each everyway

Don't need to be replaced

Vibe out and love your way

想怎样就怎样

怎样怎样

想怎样就怎样

怎样怎样

Open up that Tuborg

All night we swerving like a two door

Get them hands up so up high in the air

Everybody we about to tear the roof off

Hold on to the feelin'

Drip check I'm lookin' like a million

Ain't no doctors up in here nothin' fear looks like

There's about to be some healing

Let's go

Lovin' when a you walk this way

I'll take ya to outer space

Baby all you gotta say is (想怎样就怎样)

Light the fire fire

Baby ignite ignite it

Baby just keep it goin' we just vibin' vibin'

Light the fire fire

Hoping you feelin' fine you feel ok

You don't have to hide your face

You don't have to feel erased

You're perfect in each everyway

Don't need to be replaced

Vibe out and love your way
