And when they do it they don't like it
They just wanna see you deep in crises

So Imma take you right through this
Azonto dance is the movement
So when you jump on the floor better use it
First step is the step-step
You can move to the right to the left-left
You can even freestyle when you step-step
Put your hands in the air then you rep-rep
So go, go, go
Twist your fingers you can wave and say hello lo lo
Make your fist and you can hit them with the blow, blow, blow
No violence thats how you do Azon-zon-to
Let me see you go go
Killbeatz taught me this
Nobody wanna see you rising
And when they do it they don't like it

And he said to me, “Fuse!”
