Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Y.A.L.A.
Y.A.L.A.
[Verse 2]
Go low, go slow
Roll like a pollo
Up and down a pole
Like you're glowing up a yo-yo
[Verse 3]
Go low, go slow
Roll like a pollo
Up and down a pole
Like you're glowing up a yo-yo
[Verse 4]
Yeah, yeah, Y.A.L.A
Yeah, yeah, Y.A.L.A
Alarms go off when I enter the building
[Verse 5]
Y.A.L.A.
Y.A.L.A.
Y.A.L.A.
Y.A.L.A.
[Verse 6]
I drink some Cointreau
Keep it in my poncho
Light up like Castro
Blow it up from get go
[Verse 7]
Pro when I say go
Grow like an afro
Play like Ronaldo
Hard like I'm Death Row
[Verse 8]
Weight in kilo
Light as a pillow
Dance on my tip-toe
Like I toy box though
[Verse 9]
'Cause we come, come, come
We come with some, some
Yeah, a glass of rum
A gun and some pun
Fun, fun, fun
Let's get 'em undone
Take a hit on the bong
It's been so long since we hung
[Verse 10]
Go low, go slow
Roll like a pollo
Up and down a pole
Like you're glowing up a yo-yo
[Verse 11]
Go low, go slow
Roll like a pollo
Up and down a pole
Like you're glowing up a yo-yo
[Verse 12]
Y.A.L.A.
Y.A.L.A.
[Verse 13]
Anti war, war
M.I.A underscore
I got the law, law
Searching for me on tour
[Verse 14]
Bankin' offshore
Take a trip to Singapore
I need to earn like
I'm Julianne Moore
[Verse 15]
For the hour poor
Don't wanna ignore
That's why I say shit
So they can explore
[Verse 16]
My baby, I amore
My mommy I adore
I tried to stay pure
Can't take it anymore
[Verse 17]
'Cause we come, come, come
We come with some, some
Yeah, a glass of rum
A gun and some pun, pun
Oh, fun, fun, fun
Let's get 'em undone
Take a hit on the bong
It's been so long since we hung
[Verse 18]
'Cause we go low, go slow
Roll like a pollo
Up and down that pole
Like you're glowing up a yo-yo
[Verse 19]
Go low, go slow
Roll like a pollo
Up and down a pole
Like you're glowing up a yo-yo
[Verse 20]
Yeah, yeah, Y.A.L.A
Yeah, yeah, Y.A.L.A
Alarms go off when I enter the building
[Verse 21]
Y.A.L.A.
Y.A.L.A.
Y.A.L.A.
[Verse 22]
Y.A.L.A., Y.A.L.A.
I'm flying solo
You can take that photo
I'ma keep it raw, raw
Y.A.L.A., Y.A.L.A.
I'm rolling solo
You can take that photo
I'ma keep it raw, raw
[Verse 23]
Y.A.L.A.
Y.A.L.A.
[Verse 24]
Come, come, come
We come with some, some
Yeah, a glass of rum
A gun and some pun, pun
Oh, fun, fun, fun
Let's get 'em undone
Take a hit on the bong
It's been so long since we hung
[Verse 25]
Y.A.L.A., I don't even know anymore
What that even mean though?
If you only live once, why we keep doing the same shit?
Back home where I come from we keep being born
Again and again and again and again
That's why they invented karma
