It's time to blow this up
So best you run for cover
We about to hit self destruct
Go all my people with me
And none of us give a fuck
So put them hands up higher
Let's smash this party up
This is the blast off
It's time to blow this up

We about to hit self destruct
Go all my people with me
And none of us give a fuck
So put them hands up higher

The line "Go all my people with me, And none of us give a f***" reinforces this idea, as it implies that everyone is on board for this crazy ride.

The guitar sounds so much like Aint Talkin Bout Love by Van Halen with a slight change. I cant be the only one who thinks this
@HenryWidell
No really you're not lol.
@RobinErhage
i totaly agree but mostly rappers and bass Music is a ripp off so its nothing wierd about it
@jayreed1493
It’s based off of Aint talkin bout love
@priyonjoni
It’s meant to be a cover. It’s not a rip, a tribute. Like how Rapper’s Delight redid Good Times. Not a new thing.
