Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lean, lean, lean, lean
Lean and bop
Lean and bop
Lean, bop, lean, bop
Do a lean and bop
Lean and bop
Lean, bop, lean, bop, bop, bop, bop
And if you're feeling the vibe

Make your woolly hat lean to the side
And if you're feeling the vibe
Make your woolly hat lean to the side

I step in the room
They all notice that
And if you know you're hot
Throw you're shoulders back
Like, they all notice that
And if you know you're hot
Throw you're shoulders back
Yo, my dance so cool
Even road man do it
Make a young boy and an old man do it
In the back of the B.M
Blasting out reggae
Pass me the zeggae
Nah, you're not ready
Yeah, all I need is gwop
Count another rack
Then I lean and bop
Girls do it with me
If you're feeling hot
If you ain't getting down
Make the beat, just stop
I love chocolat-o
But I never eata KitKat
Baby girl, I ain't got time
For no chit-chat
You keep telling me to take time
And kick back
But I will be out'ere
Till it's pitch black

Lean and bop
Lean and bop
Lean, bop, lean, bop
Do a lean and bop
Lean and bop
Lean, bop, lean, bop, bop, bop, bop
And if you're feeling the vibe
Make your woolly hat lean to the side
And if you're feeling the vibe
Make your woolly hat lean to the side

They all clock my face
When I'm up in the scene
Do it reverse and do a bop and a lean
Just the other day
I met the girl of my dreams
Shawty, I love the way you twirl
In them jeans
Show me your oh oh
All the sexy girls say ah
Then I hit 'em with that, hit 'em with
O-O-O, oh my

But I never eat the KitKat
Baby girl, I ain't got time for no chit chat
You keep telling me to take time
And kick back
But Imma be out'ere
Till it's pitch black

A yo, North side
Show me you're lean and bop

And if you're feeling the vibe
Make you're woolly hat lean to the side

And if you're feeling the vibe
Make you're woolly hat lean to the side
