Oh let's make this last forever
Partying and we'll chill together

From the soul we sonically
Sending positivity
Crossed the globe, and seven seas
Take care our families
Rocking shows makin' cheese
I'mma be out with my peas
Living life, feeling free
That's how it's supposed to be
Come join my festivities
Celebrate like I'mma be

I'mma be, I'mma be, I'mma be, I'mma be




I'mma be, I'mma be, I'mma be, I'mma be
I'mma be, I'mma be, I'mma be, I'mma be
