Ants in My Pants
Not Klyde Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, I got ants in my pants
So I dance like I'm crazy (Huh?)
Right, hit the left, now go crazy (Huh?)
One hop, two hop, make it wavy (Huh?)
Jesus my Lord, yeah He saved me
Huh, slide it, bust down, riot
Fold my hands together
I pray when I'm quiet

Two piece to my enemies
You know they stay silent
Pew-pew-pew-pew, throw it, catch it!

Uh, I throw it, I catch it
Lil ma, point me to the block
What's hannnin? "Not Klyde
Is you really a Christian when you rappin?"
Man, I'm a whole pastor regardless
It's popping!
I got bi-bi-bi-bi-big bands, huh
I got bi-bi-bi-bi-big hands, huh
Throw on my bi-bi-bi-big pants
When I du-du, du-du-du, Du-du-du dance!
Billie Jean, Billie Jean, Billie Jean, uh
(Hoh)
Shawty wanna dance to the Billie Jean, uh
Striped shirt and I throw on my slimmy jeans
Uh my girl really be a beauty queen, hah!
(I got)

Ants in my pants so I dance like I'm crazy
(Huh?)
Right, hit the left, now go crazy (Huh?)
One hop, two hop, make it wavy (Huh?)
Jesus my Lord, yeah He saved me
Huh, slide it, bust down, riot
Fold my hands together
I pray when I'm quiet
Two piece to my enemies

You know they stay silent
Pew-pew-pew-pew, throw it, catch it!
