Y.A.L.A.

Y.A.L.A.

Go low, go slow

Roll like a pollo

Up and down a pole

Like you’re glowing up a yo-yo

Yeah yeah, Y.O.L.O.

Yeah yeah, Y.O.L.O.

Alarms go off when I enter the building

Y.A.L.A.

I drink some Cointreau

Keep it in my poncho

Light up like Castro

Blow it up from get go

Pro when I set, go

Grow like an afro

Play like Ronaldo

Hard like I'm Death Row

Weight in kilo

Light as a pillow

Dance on my tip-toe

Like I tae-box though

Yeah we come come come

Yeah we come with some some

Get a glass of rum

With a gun and some pun pun

Oh fun fun fun

Let's get 'em undone

Take a hit on the bong

It’s been so long since we hung

Go low, go slow

Roll like a pollo

Up and down a pole

Like you’re glowing up a yo-yo

Y.A.L.A.

Anti war war

M.I.A. underscore

I got the law law

Searching for me on tour

Bankin offshore

Take a trip to Singapore

I need to earn like

I'm Julianne Moore

For the hour poor

Don’t wanna ignore

That’s why I say shit

So they can explore

My baby, I amore

My mommy I adore

I tried to stay pure

Can’t take it anymore

Yeah we come come come

Yeah we come with some some

Get a glass of rum

With a gun and some pun pun

Oh fun fun fun

Let's get 'em undone

Take a hit on the bong

It’s been so long since we hung

Go low, go slow

Roll like a pollo

Up and down a pole

Like you’re glowing up a yo-yo

Yeah yeah, Y.O.L.O.

Yeah yeah, Y.O.L.O.

Alarms go off when I enter the building

Y.A.L.A.

Y.A.L.A., Y.A.L.A.

I’m rolling solo

You can't take a photo

I’mma keep it raw raw

Y.A.L.A.

Yeah we come come come

Yeah we come with some some

Get a glass of rum

With a gun and some pun pun

Oh fun fun fun

Let's get 'em undone

Take a hit on the bong

It’s been so long since we hung

YOLO? I don’t even know anymore, what that even mean though

If you only live once why we keep doing the same shit

Back home where I come from we keep being born again and again and again

That’s why they invented karma
