Asher Roth Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna go with some how really want bang-bang-bang all day
No shirt, no shoos, all good cause hey-hey-hey
That's way feel great
We can go to the beach to flow to the sea, smoke wide and lay with a shake
'
But it's only one rule no dudes all babys
Margarita, pina colada,... Tequila, 'oh my God
All of the chicks with bikini

Yeah that's right, watch it from day to night, faded in my raise baby
I can't even say it right
Ha-ha-ha live it up fuck it I don't need a cop
Catch me in the ocean drinking potion out of coconut
And this it's the life we got it, we got it going good
This is the life we got it, we living like we should
And this it's the life we got it, we got it going good
This is the life we got it, we living like we should
I don't really wanna work, I just wanna bing-bing on the roads all day
No shirts, no shoos all good
Cause hey-hey-hey, I feel great
We can go to the beach to flow to the sea, smoke wide and lay with a shake
'
But it's only one rule no dudes all babys
I'mm play in a way... Like dangerous, like Jake come save me
Catch fish with the free hand, eat with ', I'm graving
Turn it up, I'm getting drunk, '
Can't get enough of that, feeding up in the same time
...
Around the 'singing to the breeze
I can never lie, enough beats on the beach
And this it's the life we got it, we got it going good
This is the life we got it, we living like we should

And this it's the life we got it, we got it going good
This is the life we got it, we living like we should
