Polow
(Fergie, Ferg, what's up baby?)
When I come to the club, step aside (oh shit)
Part the seas, don't be having me in the line (oh shit)
VIP, 'cause you know I gotta shine (oh shit)
I'm Fergie Ferg, and me love you long time (oh shit)
All my girls get down on the floor (oh shit)
Back to back, drop it down real low (oh shit)
I'm such a lady, but I'm dancing like a hoe (oh shit)
'Cause you know I don't give a fuck, so here we go (oh shit)
How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like
London, London, London
Be going down like
How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like
London, London, London
Be going down like
Drinks start pouring
And my speech start slurring
Everybody start looking real good
That Grey Goose got your girl feeling loose
Now I'm wishing that I didn't wear these shoes (I hate heels)
It's like every time I get up on the dude
Paparazzi put my business in the news
And I'm like, get up out my face
Before I turn around and spray your ass with mace
My lips make you wanna have a taste
You got that, I got the bass
How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like
London, London, London
Be going down like
How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like
London, London, London
Wanna go down like
London, London, London
Be going down like
Aah, da, da, da, da, do, do, do, do
Me like a bullet type, you know they coming right
Fergie like 'em long time, my girls support 'em, right?
Aah, da, da, da, da, do, do, do, do
Me like a bullet type, you know they coming right
Fergie like 'em long time, my girls support 'em, right?

The song "London Bridge" by Tenkan feat. Fergie is an upbeat, dance-pop track that revolves around Fergie's wild nights out in the club. The song's chorus is catchy, with the repeated phrase "How come every time you come around, my London, London Bridge wanna go down?" referring to Fergie's desire for physical intimacy when she sees the man in question.
The first verse focuses on Fergie's VIP status in the club as she demands to be let in without waiting in line. She also boasts about her ability to dance and have a good time, declaring that she doesn't care if anyone judges her behavior. The second verse describes Fergie's drunken state as she drinks Grey Goose and begins to slur her words. She expresses regret for wearing heels that are causing her pain and the negative attention she receives from the paparazzi. Fergie's rap section emphasizes her sexual prowess and makes it clear that she wants to have a good time without any strings attached.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as a celebration of hedonistic party culture and female empowerment. While Fergie's behavior may be considered "slutty" or "unladylike" by some, she unapologetically embraces her sexuality and independence.

That was the shit, thanks for being such a mastermind 🤘🤘🤘🤘
