Fa-Fa-Fa
Steve Aoki Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need a shot
I need a shot of ambition
I need a hit
I need a hit of nutrition
I need a fix
I need to fix my ignition
If you want to whip me into shape
I need a plan or a mission

'cause I'm gunna ride fast, going nowhere
And I left my brain in the past
I'm gunna ride fast
To where I don't care

Faa faa faa fa fa fa fa faa
