Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Burn it all down
Wanna buy another round
Gonna light up in the sound of the speaker
Show your knee socks
Drink tequila on the rocks
Till you make your body pops to the speaker
Burn it all down
Wanna buy another round
Gonna light up in the sound of the speaker
Show your knee socks
Drink tequila on the rocks
Till you make your body pops to the speaker
[Chorus]
(I wanna go) Downtown where my posse's at
(Because I got) Nine lives like a kitty cat
Uh, you wanna roll, that's how I roll
(I wanna go) Bling-bling when I hear that bass
(I'm gonna do) My thing if you wanna taste
Uh, you better know, uh, that's how I roll
[Post-Chorus]
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
[Verse 2]
Feel the earth quake
Gonna make your body shake
Till the circuits starts to break in the speaker
Can we get fly?
Helicopter in the sky
'Cause we turn it up high in the speaker
[Pre-Chorus]
If you know what it takes to be my man
We can go make love together
You can be my fuck tonight
We can tear it up tonight
[Chorus]
(I wanna go) Downtown where my posse's at
(Because I got) Nine lives like a kitty cat
Uh, you wanna roll, that's how I roll
(I wanna go) Bling-bling when I hear that bass
(I'm gonna do) My thing if you wanna taste
Uh, you better know, uh, that's how I roll
[Post-Chorus]
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
[Bridge]
Shimmy, shimmy-ya
Shimmy-yo, shimmy-yay
We could give them what they want
Or we could take it away
Try luck tonight, we could tear it up tonight
If you know what it takes to be my man
We can go make love together
You can be my fuck tonight
We can tear it up tonight
[Chorus]
(I wanna go) Downtown where my posse's at
(Because I got) Nine lives like a kitty cat
Uh, you wanna roll, that's how I roll
(I wanna go) Bling-bling when I hear that bass
(I'm gonna do) My thing if you wanna taste
Uh, you better know, uh, that's how I roll
[Post-Chorus]
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-da-dee-dum-bum-bum
