Summer Kennedy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bang in my boom
Blowin' like a firework
Don't know what to do
Gimme that oh
Oh oh oh oh
Gimme that ooo
Don't wanna take it slow
No one is preaching thrills for me the faster that I go
Gimme that ooo
Ooo oo oo ooo
Gimme that oh
I get what I want
I do what I please
I'm never gonna stop
'Til I get what I need
Ready or not
Gimme what you got
Gimme that bang
Some of that oo
I'm never gonna stop
'Til I break on through
Ready or not
Gimme all you got
Na nah nah na nah nah
Na nah nah na nah nah
Na nah nah na nah nah
Ready or not
Na nah nah na nah nah
Na nah nah na nah nah
There's noise in the jungle
Only one breath away
Heart is beating faster as they're hunting for their prey
No I won't run
Run run run run
No I won't run
Tangled in these spider webs
There's no getting out
I just keep on fighting
There's not stoppin' now
Won't back down now
No no no no I won't back down
I get what I want
I do what I please
I'm never gonna stop
'Til I get what I need
Ready or not
Gimme what you got
Gimme that bang
Some of that oo
I'm never gonna stop
'Til I break on through
Ready or not
Gimme all you got
Na nah nah na nah nah
Na nah nah na nah nah
Na nah nah na nah nah
Ready or not
Na nah nah na nah nah
Na nah nah na nah nah
I'm never gonna stop
I'm never gonna stop
Na nah nah na nah nah
Ready or not
Ready or not
I'm never gonna stop
Na nah nah na nah nah
Ready or not
Ready or not
I get what I want
I do what I please
I'm never gonna stop
'Til I get what I need
Ready or not
Ready or not
Gimme what you got
Gimme that bang
Some of that oo
I'm never gonna stop
'Til I break on through
Ready or not
Ready or not
