Lyrics

Light It Up (Interlude)

Damn, Samy on the can
Flow so good, you might need another xan
What when? Need another hand
Sauce so good might need another pan
Slowly light it up, light it up
New sick drip might need another tan
Ok, ok, ok need another hand
Man so good I might need another

Hands in the air
Hands in the air
We don't really care
Hands in the air
Hands in the air
We don't really care (We don't really)

Your shit, my shit
Fly shit, what?
We don't really correlate
We don't really love the hate
I'm tripping, I'm sippin'
I'm sippin' red red wine
I'm dripping, I'm dripping

Yeah, back it up, back it up
There she go again, back it up, back it up
Uh, uh
And we bring it back again
1, 2, 3
You gon need to put your

Hands in the air
Hands in the air
We don't really care

Hands in the air
Hands in the air
We don't really care
Hands in the air
Hands in the air
We don't really care
Hands in the air
Hands in the air
We don't really care
