Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(White light) White light goin' messin' up my mind
(White light) And don't y'all know it gonna make me go blind
(White heat) Oh, white heat it tickle me down to my toes
(White light) Ooh, have mercy! White light have it, goodness knows
[Chorus]
(White light) White light goin' messin' up my brain
(White light) Oh, white light, it's gon' drive me insane
(White heat) Oh, white heat, it tickle me down to my toes
(White light) Oh, white light, I said now goodness knows
[Bridge]
Do it
[Verse 2]
(Mmm-mmm white light) Ah, I surely do love to watch that stuff tip itself in
(Mmm-mmm white light) Watch that side, watch that side
Don't you know it gonna be dead in drive
[Verse 3]
(Mmm-mmm white heat) Bad foxy mama, watchin' her walkin' down the street
(Mmm-mmm white light) Come upside your head
Gonna make it dead, ain't even on your street
[Chorus]
(White light) White light move in me, it be my brain
(White light) White light goin' makin' me go insane
(White heat) Oh, white heat, it tickle me down to my toes
(White light) Ah, white light, I said now goodness knows
[Verse 4]
(White light) Ah, white light, it lighten up my eyes
(White light) Don't you know it fills me up with suprise
(White heat) Oh, white heat tickle me down to my toes
(White light) Ah, white light, I tell you now goodness knows
[Bridge]
Now work it
[Verse 5]
(Mmm-mmm white light) Ah, she surely do moves me
(Mmm-mmm white light) Watch that speed freak
Watch that speed freak
Ever gonna go and make it every week
[Verse 6]
(Mmm-mmm white heat) Ah, sputter mutter
Everybody's gon' go and kill their mother
(Mmm-mmm white light) Here she comes, here she comes
Everybody get it, gonna make me run
[Outro]
Do it
[Outro]
