J. Warner:

Fasten your seatbelt

If you're on board

Fasten your seatbelt

If you're on board

Fasten your seatbelt

If you're on board

Fasten your seatbelt

If you're on board

All we got is five minutes 'til we all go

All we got is five minutes 'til we all go

All we got is five minutes 'til we all go

Tinie Tempah:

Hello world, yeah, let's go! (boom to you fellas)

Wake up in the morning and I smell my breath

I send a picture to my niggas of the girl in bed

I can diggety-bop with diggetty-Puff, Pharrell and them

On the chimney tops of the prison world's address

I said thanks, but I haven't heard you're welcome yet

So fuck everybody yo, we got the world ahead

I get black chicks, white things, purples, reds

And my head's screwed on, call it permanent

Excuse my Portugese, that's German, French

But I fuck with BBC like Fearne and Reg

Bought a pair of Jordan 3s with a firm cement

Slagging on a hundred damn trillion percent

Even in my skinny jeans I still walk like this

And 007 make me talk like this

Pedal to the medal, tell Jeremy Clarkson

That anybody my age should drive a Porsche like this!

Tinie Tempah:

I've been ready from the get-go

You better keep your mouth open if your legs closed

5 minutes till' I explode

5 minutes till' I explode

5 minutes till' I explode (tick, tick, tick, tick, boom to you fellas)

5 minutes till' I explode

5 minutes till' I explode

5 minutes till' I explode

5 minutes till' I explode (tick, tick, tick, tick, boom to you fellas)

Bloody crazy roast on Sunday

Got mash-up on Monday

Real twisted on Tuesday

Woke up wasted on Wednesday

Got completely trashed on Thursday

Fucked up on Friday

Bad money from Saturday

(Tick, tick, tick)

I threw my baby out the pram, and her toys as well

I got adults acting like a bunch of boys and girls

She asked me why I never let a woman try on my shades

Don't want her fucking hair on my tortoise shells

For my festivals, I can sense some awesome wealth

I get the citizens cane like Orson Welles

My number even had to change cause some annoying girl

It's like fucking Babestation on my voicemail

No matter how much you flush the toilet, ill

We're the motherfucking shit, you can't avoid the smell

All these swagger-jackers getting me annoyed as hell

You ain't never seen talent on The Voice as well!

London Fashion Week made me walk like this

And Stephen Fry made me want to talk like this

Finger on the button, tell whoever's in charge

Che Guevara made me want to break the law like this!

I've been ready from the get-go

You better keep your mouth open if your legs closed

5 minutes till' I explode

5 minutes till' I explode

5 minutes till' I explode (tick, tick, tick, tick, boom to you fellas)

5 minutes till' I explode

5 minutes till' I explode

5 minutes till' I explode

5 minutes till' I explode (tick, tick, tick, tick, boom to you fellas)

J. Warner:

Fasten your seatbelt

If you're on board

Fasten your seatbelt

If you're on board

All we got is five minutes 'til we all go

All we got is five minutes 'til we all go

All we got is five minutes 'til we all go

Tinie Tempah:

Tick, tick, tick, boom!

Wake up in the morning and I smell my breath

I could have had to be going to work instead

Fuck a silly contract, I return the cheque

When you was trying to make money, did you earn respect?

I seen your pussy game made me walk like this

And Star Wars made me use the force like this

When you're fucking busy having dinner with stars

You better start eating with your knife and fork like this!

I've been ready from the get-go

You better keep your mouth open if your legs closed

5 minutes till' I explode

5 minutes till' I explode

5 minutes till' I explode (tick, tick, tick, tick, boom to you fellas)

5 minutes till' I explode

5 minutes till' I explode

5 minutes till' I explode

5 minutes till' I explode (tick, tick, tick, tick, boom to you fellas)
