Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's so simple get to the floor, it's so simple get to the floor
It's so simple get to the floor, it's so simple get to the floor
It's so simple get to the floor, it's so simple get to the floor
It's so simple get to the floor, it's so simple get to the floor
It's so simple get to the floor, it's so simple get to the floor
It's so simple get to the floor
[Verse 2]

[Verse 5]
Ina, ina, ina, ina

[Verse 6]
Pretty raw, get to the floor
Came up listening to war, war
Weekend breaks in Singapore
Preach like a priest, I sing like a whore
Do you want more? Do you want more?
Do you know what I got in store?
Do you want more? Do you want more?
It's so simple, get to the floor
[Verse 7]
Ina, ina, ina, ina
Ina, ina, ina, ina
[Verse 8]
It's so simple get to the floor
It's so simple get to the floor
Do you want more? Do you want more?
Do you know what I got in store?
Ina, ina, ina, ina
[Verse 9]
It's so simple get to the floor
It's so simple get to the floor
Do you want more? Do you want more?
Do you know what I got in store?
Ina, ina, ina, ina
[Verse 10]
I'm ice cream and you're sorbet
They got guns but it points the wrong way
Yeah, I'm on it, they Cirque de Soleil
They make big sounds with nothing to say
You school of fakeness, I'm school of hard knocks
You're here to fool us
I'm here to take shots
[Verse 11]
Look-alike, copycat
Doppelgänger, fraud
They ain't got nothing on me, now I'm getting bored
[Verse 12]
If you're gonna be me you need a manifesto
If you ain't got one you better get one presto
Yeah, you got money, we sell bootlegs only
When the shit counts our numbers way plenty
We started at the bottom but Drake gets all the credit
Paper route or life route, yeah, we be ready
[Verse 13]
Ina, ina, ina, ina
Ina, ina, ina, ina
[Verse 14]
