[Chorus]
People want my power and they want my station
Stormed my winter palace but they couldn’t take it
All the way to Paris, run my reputation
Try to pull my status but they couldn’t fake it
[Hook]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 1]
Trying to pull a full-on, your guys won’t go
Running, checking out your ass, oh no
Man, looking for your ticket, now let’s all go
Party’s in a minute but your guys won’t go
[Pre-Chorus]
Man, you look on, you look on your bracelet
But I’m too gone, I’m too gone, that ass, oh no
When you get on, you get on, you shake it
Man, you took on, you took on too much, don’t blow
[Chorus]
People want my power and they want my station
Stormed my winter palace but they couldn’t take it
All the way to Paris, run my reputation
Try to pull my status but they couldn’t fake it
[Hook]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 2]
Can I get a witness? A closer look
Everybody itching for a throne to throw
And you could be the widget to my turbo
Better see your status when I go solo
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you forget the, forget the basics?
On a go long, a go long, you must go search
And it’s too far, it’s too far the bases
But you’re slipping, you’re sliding, can make it go
[Chorus]
People want my power and they want my station
Stormed my winter palace but they couldn’t take it
All the way to Paris, run my reputation
Try to pull my status but they couldn’t fake it
[Hook]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Bridge]
How hard we found another instrument to crash you
Crash you, crash you
I need another instrument to crash you
Crash you, crash you, I need, crash you
Ha, ha, crash you
Ha, ha, crash you
Ha, ha, crash you
[Chorus]
People want my power and they want my station
Stormed my winter palace but they couldn’t take it
All the way to Paris, run my reputation
Try to pull my status but they couldn’t fake it
[Hook]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
People want my power and they want my station
Stormed my winter palace but they couldn’t take it
All the way to Paris, run my reputation
Try to pull my status but they couldn’t fake it
[Hook]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
