  • Stand up like a soldier baby
    Yeah, I know you're built like that
    Gun it like a holster babe
    Shouldn't see you weaken like that

    Whenever the war is raging
    Chasing our crazy dreams
    Hoping that the bridge won't cave in
    Tonight we'll let it all go free

    Gimme the thing and let me rock in my Benz
    Gimme the thing and let me rock in my Benz
    Mash it up and step in my Benz
    Gimme the thing and let me rock

    Gimme the thing and let me rock in my Benz
    Gimme the thing and let me rock in my Benz
    Mash it up and step in my Benz
    Gimme the thing and let me rock

    Set it ablaze like a candle we lit, hotter
    Yeah light it up, set it a
    Light it up, light it up
    Light it up

    Fire like a soldier baby
    No retreating when I treat that
    Never make them hold ya baby
    Hot like a fever when I take shots

    Whenever when the war is raging
    Chasing our crazy dreams
    Hoping that the bridge won't cave in
    Tonight we'll let it all go free

    Gimme the thing and let me rock in my Benz
    Gimme the thing and let me rock in my Benz
    Mash it up and step in my Benz
    Gimme the thing and let me rock

    Gimme the thing and let me rock in my Benz
    Gimme the thing and let me rock in my Benz
    Mash it up and step in my Benz
    Gimme the thing and let me rock

    Set it ablaze like a candle we lit, hotter
    Light it up, yeah light it up
    Set it ablaze like a candle we lit, hotter
    Yeah light it up, light it up
    Light it up, light it up
