Will Tura Lyrics

In 't midde van de stroate
Een stive groate stroate
'K stoan ik hier in 't midden
Van een stroate in new york
'K zin hier nog moar juste
Nog moar juste in new york
Zoa je gi mi gelove
'K zin al min geld al kwit
Z'ont nog gezeid
Woar da'k woaren in 't hotel

Je doet juste wat je wil
Moar pas op voor je geld

Moa ven toh

Z'ont nog gezeid
Zi voorzichtig me je dollars
Want me al di zakkerollers
Veur da je’t wit zi je ze kwit
‘k goan ne keer noar but’n
En ‘t lop e vent tegen mi
‘k zeggen nog pardon
Moar min geld was al parti
Moar joa ‘t is te loate
‘k stoan ‘k hier op stroate
Je goat toen ne keer nor bu’n
Van den but’n noa den bronx

Stive schone zi gerust

Rechtut gezeid ni stif gerust
'K roep'n doar e taxi
Moa vent da's hier e spel
D'r stopt a zo ne gelen
'K zegge zere noar 't hotel
De chauffeur zoa ne roaren

'K zeggen zen't gepikt
Jomoar hij zegt 't goat hier azo niet

Moa ven toh

Doar a tworsen in de queens
En kik ‘t stoat doar e meiske
Me ne stive nauwe jeans
Ze zegt baby wanna party
En ze kikt zi stif verliefd
Moar ze komt zi veel te dichte

Moar ‘t en es nie dat allene da telt

En sertoe ‘k en e gen geld

Moa ven toh
