Lyrics

[Intro]
Yo
What a gwaan? (What a gwaan?)
Ha-ha
Ho
Sean Kingston
J.R.
Madda
[Chorus]
We can go to the tropics
Sip piña coladas
Shorty I could take you there
Or we can go to the slums
Where killers get hung
Shorty I could take you there
You know I could take ya (I could take ya)
I could take ya (I could take ya)
Shorty I could take you there
You know I could take ya (I could take ya)
I could take ya (I could take ya)
Shorty I could take you there
[Verse 1]
Baby girl I know it's rough but come with me
We can take a trip to the hood
It's no problem girl, it's my city
I could take you there (Take you there)
Little kid with guns, only fifteen
Roamin' the streets, up to no good
When gun shots, just watch us run quickly
I could show you where (Show you where)
[PreChorus]
As long as you're with me
Baby you'll be alright
I'm known in the ghetto
Girl just stay by my side
Or we can leave the slums go to paradise
Baby it's up to you
It's whatever you like
[Chorus]
We can go to the tropics
Sip piña coladas
Shorty I could take you there
Or we can go to the slums
Where killers get hung
Shorty I could take you there
You know I could take ya (I could take ya)
I could take ya (I could take ya)
Shorty I could take you there
You know I could take ya (I could take ya)
I could take ya (I could take ya)
Shorty I could take you there
[Verse 2]
Shorty come with me, it's no worries
I know the bad men dem, where they ah stay
Police fly pursuit in a hurry
This is no gun play (Is no gun play)
Don't be scared I know the West Indies
It's Jamaica, that's where I'm from
Might see something that you're not used to
Welcome to the slums (To the slums)
[PreChorus]
As long you're with me
Baby you'll be alright
I'm known in the ghetto
Girl just stay by my side
Or we can leave the slums go to paradise
Baby it's up to you
It's whatever you like
[Chorus]
We can go to the tropics
Sip piña coladas
Shorty I could take you there
Or we can go to the slums
Where killers get hung
Shorty I could take you there
You know I could take ya (I could take ya)
I could take ya (I could take ya)
Shorty I could take you there
You know I could take ya (I could take ya)
I could take ya (I could take ya)
Shorty I could take you there
[Bridge]
Or we (Or we)
Can go (Can go)
To a place (To a place)
I know you gonna like (Oh, oh, oh)
The beach (The beach)
The breeze (The breeze)
West Indies, I call it paradise
[Chorus]
We can go to the tropics
Sip piña coladas
Shorty I could take you there
Or we can go to the slums
Where killers get hung
Shorty I could take you there
You know I could take ya (I could take ya)
I could take ya (I could take ya)
Shorty I could take you there
You know I could take ya (I could take ya)
I could take ya (I could take ya)
Shorty I could take you there
