I mean, I got to see (Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
Bad girl wanna fuck hot guy
Fake man wanna play both sides
Red tip, lookin' like hot fries

Hollow man die like rat man
Rude boy gonna get red banned (Bando!)
Eat 'em good like Pac-Man

I'm out of breath, ho
Do it 'cause I said so
Trappin' out the Bando, Bando, Ban-
I told y'all niggas
Y'all thought I was playing but Gambino's back in this motherfucker
None of y'all are safe!
Someone turn the motherfuckin' bass up
They gon' find your homeboy face up
Lookin' for me like you gon' say somethin'
Talkin' that shit, you gon' pay for it
Talkin', I'm still on fire, fire
Happy, you still gon' die, die
Cappin', you still gon' lie, lie
Got to be
We can all go
Now, we are all in this
Close your eyes
And share our happiness
We can all go
Now, we are all in this
Close your eyes
And share our happiness
