O-over drive x13
O-overdrive
O-overfly 4x
Girl say, girl say, girl say
Boy say, girl say, boy say, girl say, boy say
In the car, in the car, in the car
Out the car, in the car, out the car, in the car, out the car
I'm stylin', stylin', ravin', ravin', stylin', ravin', stylin', ravin'
O-overdrive
O-overfly 4x
When I was younger my star was a different,
I had already begun before I hit London
My....had the boys with the toygun
But I already found the new ones so I had a way for
Me to have fun
Girl say, girl say, girl say
Boy say, girl say, boy say, girl say, boy say
In the car, in the car, in the car
Out the car, in the car, out the car, in the car, out the car
I'm stylin', stylin', ravin', ravin', stylin', ravin', stylin', ravin'
(Cell phone ring, radio signaling in and out)
We don't make the money on the violence, that's why we don't do the silence (4x)
