Burn it all down, gonna buy another round
Gonna loud up the sound of the speaker
Knee socks, drink tequila on the rocks
Till you make your body pops to the speaker
Burn it all down, gonna buy another round
Gonna loud up the sound of the speaker
Show your knee socks, drink tequila on the rocks
Till you make your body pops to the speaker
(I wanna go) downtown where my posse's at
(Because I got) nine lives like a kitty cat
(You wanna roll, that's how I roll)
(I wanna go) ring ring when I hear that bass
(I'm gonna do) my thing if you want a taste
(You better know that's how I roll)
Bum bum bum ba da dee dum dum dum
Bum bum bum ba da dee dum dum dum
Bum bum bum ba da dee dum dum dum
Bum bum bum ba da dee dum dum dum
Feel the earthquake, gonna make your body shake
Till the circuits start to break in the speaker
Can we get fly, helicopter in the sky
'Cause we turn it up high in the speaker
If you know what it takes to be my man
We can go make love together
You can be my thug tonight
We can tear it up tonight
(I wanna go) downtown where my posse's at
(Because I got) nine lives like a kitty cat
(You wanna roll, that's how I roll)
(I wanna go) ring ring when I hear that bass
(I'm gonna do) my thing if you want a taste
(You better know that's how I roll)
Bum bum bum ba da dee dum dum dum
Bum bum bum ba da dee dum dum dum
Bum bum bum ba da dee dum dum dum
Bum bum bum ba da dee dum dum dum
Shimmy shimmy oh, shimmy oh shimmy eh
We can give 'em what they want or we can take it away
Try to love tonight
We can tear it up tonight
If you know what it takes to be my man
We can go make love together
You can be my thug tonight
We can tear it up tonight
(I wanna go) downtown where my posse's at
(Because I got) nine lives like a kitty cat
(You wanna roll, that's how I roll)
(I wanna go) ring ring when I hear that bass
(I'm gonna do) my thing if you want a taste
(You better know that's how I roll)
Bum bum bum ba da dee dum dum dum
Bum bum bum ba da dee dum dum dum
Bum bum bum ba da dee dum dum dum
Bum bum bum ba da dee dum dum dum
