(Playtimes over)
Sibiriki, sibiri, sibiriki, po
(I hate Windxws, I hate Windxws)
"Where we goin', Nas?"
To Rio de Janeiro pack up yo' sombrero
Stack up yo' dineros
To Rio de Janeiro pack up yo' sombrero
Stack up yo' dineros
We stayin' here 'til enero, uh!
Nigga, I just met a baddie
She dropped the pin, sent that addy
She call me her papi, daddy
She poppin' if niggas rattin'
I copped her the Patek
She jumpin' up so ecstatic
Her pussy plumb, told me pat it
No Donald Trump, but I grab it
I say, "Spicy mamacita"
It's really nice to meet ya
Take a sip of this tequila
Then let's fly to Puerto Rico
Or Rio de Janeiro my real name is Montero
I'm stackin' them dineros
'Bout my cheese, I'm 'bout my queso!
I say, "Spicy mamacita"
It's really nice to meet ya
Take a sip of this tequila
Then let's fly to Puerto Rico
Or Rio de Janeiro my real name is Montero
I'm stackin' them dineros
'Bout my cheese, I'm 'bout my queso!
W-w-when I met her she said
"What's yo' net worth?"
Like to get her cookie ate, said, "Rookie
How yo' neck work?"
Said she used to work in finance, nigga
JG Wentworth
She kill 'em with class, shoot they
Ass in a red skirt, dead hearse
Gotta lotta cholos, that'll steal for her
Even mo' doh', screamin' YOLO
They will go and kill for her
Her pussy on Marco Polo

Say, "Lil Nas, you gettin' big"
"Can't wait to yo' Billboards"
