Yo Skrill drop it hard

Yo Skrill drop it hard

Sirah says
Chillin' in Kyoto grand with my man Skrill
Chain smokin' nicotine sayin' f*ck a fast deal
We got that white girl so we make those skrill checks
F*ck a white girl, talk ill, neck karate chop her grill, bitch I kill
Born from the center of a storm
All these boys flappin' gums about how they're hard, bitch I'm harder
Martyr to the swag on the corner
Beat your girl with the drums as the bass makes that bitch cum

Bass makes that bitch cum
