Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh
Oh
[Verse 2]
Going thru a thang now
Finna pull this thang out
[Verse 3]
What a day
What a day
What a day
What a day
What a day
What a day
What a day
What a day, day
What a day
What a day
What a day
[Verse 4]
Going thru a thang now
Finna pull this thang out
[Verse 5]
But it's against the law
Oh
It's against the law
[Verse 6]
Oh no, mama, please
Thank you
