Anaconda
Mulher Pepita Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Porra
Ne nao tomas?
Eles apontam
Falam mal da gente, criticam a gente
Mas na madrugada, procuram a gente pra uma mamada

Quem é que fortalece às quatro da madrugada?
Tem que ter, tem que ter, tem que ter uma mamada, tem que ter
