[English]

Smooth like butter

Like a criminal undercover

Gon’ pop like trouble

Breakin’ into your heart like that, ooh

Cool shade, stunner

Yeah, I owe it all to my mother

Hot like summer

Yeah, I’m makin’ you sweat like that

Break it down

Ooh, when I look in the mirror

I’ll melt your heart into two

I got that superstar glow so (ooh)

Do the boogie like

Side step, right, left to my beat

High like the moon, rock with me, baby

Know that I got that heat

Let me show you ‘cause talk is cheap

Side step, right, left to my beat

Get it, let it roll

Smooth like butter

Pull you in like no other

Don’t need no Usher

To remind me you got it bad

Ain’t no other

That can sweep you up like a robber

Straight up, I got ya

Makin’ you fall like that

Break it down

Ooh, when I look in the mirror

I’ll melt your heart into two

I got that superstar glow so (ooh)

Do the boogie like

Side step, right, left to my beat

High like the moon, rock with me, baby

Know that I got that heat

Let me show you ‘cause talk is cheap

Side step, right, left to my beat

Get it, let it roll

Get it, let it roll

Get it, let it roll

Ice on my wrist, I’m the nice guy

Got the right body and the right mind

Rollin’ up to party, got the right vibe

Smooth like (butter), hate us (love us)

Fresh boy pull up and we lay low

All the playas get movin’ when the bass low

Got ARMY right behind us when we say so

Let’s go

Side step, right, left to my beat (right, left to my beat)

High like the moon, rock with me, baby

Know that I got that heat

Let me show you ‘cause talk is cheap (you know that talk is cheap)

Side step, right, left to my beat

Get it, let it roll

Smooth like (butter), cool shade (stunner)

And you know we don’t stop

Hot like (summer), ain’t no (bummer)

You be like: Oh my God

We gon’ make you rock and you say (yeah)

We gon’ make you bounce and you say (yeah)

Hotter? Sweeter! Cooler? Butter!

Get it, let it roll
