Lyrics

[Intro]
Ay, Benny Cristo and Glowsticks
Some of y’all already know
Haha

[Chorus 1]
(Kay-ma, kay-ma) Ok, mama, you know
They can say what they want, you should let it go
‹Cause tonight I will sho-o-ow love
I’ll show them I can dance on my own

[Verse 1]
They say I lost my way
Lost my way? Never lost my way, oh, no
I know where I go, don’t care what they say
Never care what they say, oh, yeah
I’m high, I’m lifted like sir Bob Marley
Bob Marley, oh, yeah
I’m ‹bout to show them all I’mma kill it
Ali Boomaye, oh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I’mma put my heart on the stove
Let y’all feel the heat
You’ll be playing with the fire
If you dance with me
I wasn’t always like that
I wasn’t born like that
I just work like that
24/7

[Chorus 1]
(Kay-ma, kay-ma) Ok, mama, you know
They can say what they want, you should let it go, ey
‹Cause tonight I will sho-o-ow love
I’ll show them I can dance on my own

[Verse 2]
Ok, mama, you know
In this concrete jungle it was not easy to grow up, nah, nah, nah
But every time they pushed my down
I answered with this smile and I got up, yeah
Like you told me

[Pre-Chorus]
I’mma put my heart on the stove
Let y’all feel the heat
You’ll be playing with the fire
If you dance with me
I wasn’t always like that
I wasn’t born like that
I just work like that
24/7

[Chorus 1]
(Kay-ma, kay-ma) Ok, mama, you know
They can say what they want, you should let it go, ey
‹Cause tonight I will sho-o-ow love
I’ll show them I can dance on my own
Ok, mama, you know
They can say what they want, you should let it go
‹Cause tonight I will sho-o-ow love
I’ll show them I can dance on my own (Ey, ey, ey, ey)

[Bridge]
See, I don’t care if you are not like me
I just came to dance
We should dance all night, babe, night, babe
And I don’t care if they don’t like me
All I do is dance, I don’t care about their fighting
Why they fighting

[Chorus 1]
Ok, mama, you know
They can say what they want, you should let it go, ey
‹Cause tonight I will sho-o-ow love
I’ll show them I can dance on my own
Ok, mama, you know
They can say what they want, you should let it go, ey
‹Cause tonight I will sho-o-ow love
I’ll show them I can dance on my own
