Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Cash Cash Busta Bust Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Nen It's Bobby Let's go! I've been dancing with the devil He was always good to me And I've been walking in the shadow Of a friendly enemy But now I'm fucking broken Living in the moment Shoulda known that you would bring me down Yeah, I've been dancing with the devil Like ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh The Cash Cash make my ass bounce back It's Bobby I guess I'll play the bad guy I swear I told you last time (what up?) You knew I wasn't good for you But you swore you hit the jackpot And you swore you struck gold You were stepping on your toes Always tripping over nothing But nothing's on the floor I swear the time it takes To congregate and conversate Just so things don't complicate I just don't have the time of day To try to pay attention to what your momma say She just moving lips, moving lips Talking 'bout stupid shit, stupid shit And she don't know how to keep the man But she can move them hips, move them hips I've been dancing with the devil (devil, man) He was always good to me And I've been walking in the shadow (let's keep on walking) Of a friendly enemy (let's go!)
