If you seen it then you mean it
Then you know you have to go.

Wait! From the rocks say, tada no shita.

You should see me in the parking lot,

Fights with wings and shiny things,
And lions, tigers, bears, oh my ride,
We're furious and fast,
Super sonic like JJ Phat,
And we rock 'cause the wheels are fly,
Can't beat that with a baseball bat.

Like a ka(ahn)kiyou tokasa,
Mateba ii zehi soap site yo,
Intercept shite fuck site,

Hora pants down,
From a back up on the post,
Dou itasu? kyou wa four points,
From far east coast to dousa sai (watashi no gaisudou!)

If you seen it then you mean it
Then you know you have to go.
Fast and furious! (Kitaa!) (Drift, Drift, Drift)

Yea, Japan mainichi doki doki desu,
Heat island tobi tobi de,
Moeruyou ni shite bochi bochi na,
Tamanegi dasasou kochi kochi eh
Heat up de dou risou,
Machijyu subette no-rikon.
Mecha kawarimondante sa?

It's gotta be the shoes,
Gotta be the furs,
That's why ladies choose me,
All up in the news,
'Cause we so cute,
That's why we so huge,
Harajuku girls know how I feel,
They respect, I keeps it real.
Not a Chinaman 'cause I ain't from China man...
I am Japan man.

(Wa ta shi wa, tokyo suki, wa ta shi no, Kuruma suteki)
You see me go coming out of the black Benz SLR.
(A na ta mo, tokyo suki) I wonder where he get that kind of money?
(A na ta no, kuruma suteki) Don't worry about it, lets go

I wonder if you know,
How they live in Tokyo,
If you seen it then you mean it
Then you know you have to go.
Fast and furious! (Kitaa!) (Drift, Drift, Drift)
Fast and furious! (Kitaa!) (Drift, Drift, Drift)

Wonder if you know,
