Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, I bet you can't bet you can't do it like this
Bet you can't, bet you can't do it like this
Bet you can't, bet you can't rock it like this
Bet you can't, bet you can't rock it like this
Hey

Coming to your hood like a scud missile
Fergie rock the beat down to the gristle
I spit it clean just like Listerine

I'm so official
That's why I'm rocking this rocking this whistle
I'm in the disco
Percolatin' nipples
When I D.J. I turn the bass up to chicko'
The girls with the big big booties
I'm straight chilling cooling out wit' cuties
Twenty one and over ain't messing wit' juvies
Girls always talking about
I ain't no groupie
I ain't stupid I know what the truth be
You was up chilling with Yeezy last week
You nasty admit you nasty
Trying to act classy
Ask for a glass please
Grab a glass and get wet
Ask for some bubble so I gave 'em Moet
I said I don't want trouble
But she said wanna get, busy
Cause she dizzy
So I said let's jet

We did it and we did it
