[Intro]

First class flight, bed by the window

Foreign ting with me, had to switch the lingo

First class flight, bed by the window

Foreign ting with me, had to switch the lingo

Baby, get low, she said, "Sí, sí—" (Grrt)


[Verse 1]

Let's state the facts, came from the flats

First one to put the whole scene on the map (Yeah)

I said what I said, go check the stats

Made like fifteen mill’ off of five pound hats

And I don't need to cap (Ayy)

I lost count of plaques

Two hundred and fifty-five-thousand tickets sold, you do the math

Blew from Channel U (U)

Now we're doin’ twenty-three arena's in 2022, hold that (Hold thaty)

Ain't 'bout the racks, I said, "It'd be a wrap when N-Dubz come back"

Ayy, Dappy is this (This) Dappy is that (That), but Dappy can sing, do drill or rap

Huh, when you get the dough, they start breadin' it

I've been in the kitchen for years, so they wanna know how I make my recipes

I'm finna keep cheffin’ it (Cheffin’)

There's too much at stake, so here’s corn for the beat, I need to pepper it

They said we were irrelevant until we turned the O2 to the O4, shit, we could've done a Emirates

Now I'm in my element

Pick a melody, this is legendary

When I'm dead, they gon’ remember me

Uh, pretty face, big back like Steffanie

Tried to burn the boy, but it didn't affect me

As if I'm tryna catch me a felony

I'll trade the nyash just like an NFT

Was you real with me or was it a lie? (Ayy)

Was you in love with me or was it just a lie?

If the money weren't about and I didn't have the clout

Would you ride the wave with me or leave me in the tide?


[Bridge]

When times were hard (Hard) I nearly lost my mind (My mind)

When I was sittin' in the dark, they left me swimmin' with the sharks


[Chorus]

First class flight, bed by the window

Foreign ting with me, had to switch the lingo (L.A.)

Sweetie, get low, she said, "Sí, sí, entiendo"

Ayy, show me your back, get on your tip toes

Then twist up your neck and watch the ting grow (Uh)

Kiki, get low, she said, "Sí, sí, entiendo"


[Verse 2]

You know the ting (Uh), we all love to win (Uh)

With a bad badina showin' off skin (Skin)

She misbehaves (Hey)

She's loves to get funky on Friday, she listens to Dave (Woo)

Ah, don't make me bring Tarzan back from the grave (Huh)

If I swing 'round there, just know I'ma rage

I had no regrets back then, but now I'm finna act my way (Grrt)

I want my bit of the coin like Elon Musk

I'm settin' the pace, they can never keep up

All the blood, sweat and the tears, steady switchin' the gears

I'm ahead of all my peers like a Tesla truck

They love poppin' bottles with you when you do well (Uh)

I 'member havin' to bill zoots in my new cell (Yeah)

And don't take the piss you prick (Nah)

You're actin' like I didn't exist when I couldn't get bail


[Bridge]

When times were hard (Hard) I nearly lost my mind

When I was sittin' in the dark, they left me swimmin' with the sharks

Look


[Chorus]

First class flight, bed by the window

Foreign ting with me, had to switch the lingo (Ayy)

Sweetie, get low, she said sí, sí, entiendo

Sweetie, get low, she said, "Sí sí, entiendo"

Ayy, show me your back, get on your tip toes

Then twist up your neck and watch the ting grow (Ayy)

Kiki, get low, she said, "Sí, sí, entiendo" (Grrt)


[Outro]

First class flight, bed by the window

Foreign ting with me, had to switch the lingo

Uh, sweetie, get low, she said sí, sí, entiendo

Sweetie, get low, she said, "Sí, sí, entiendo"

Ayy, show me your back, get on your tip toes

Then twist up your neck and watch the ting gro

Kiki, get low, she said, "Sí, sí, entiendo", grrt
