Bring It On
Steve Aoki Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bring it on what you got
Tonight you're my dart
She says keep it tight
You sure what I did
You hold I commit
You take what I owe

You know some ain't right

Tonight you're my dart
She say keep it tight
Come home some ain't nice
Tonight lost in sight
Can't take, take no more

I believe a beat like thunder

You're moving on
The crowd go wild
