Verse 1:
Yooo the name is miike smiith, got that 4 eye vision
If you get on all fours I can show you how I'm living
Open up a few doors, suddenly I'm in the kitchen
With a chick from my hostel who wants me to put the tip in
She from Britain, my Texas accent made her smitten
So she took off her mittens and grabbed ahold of my stick
And then licked it like liquorish and its sick, but I'm so addicted
To meeting these new chicks and then teachin ‘em new positions
I'm conflicted, is this really how I should live it?
Traveling round the world, makin ..all.. these bad decisions
Meeting all these new girls, and makin em purr like kittens
Then slippin into the night, just to go and Taylor swift ‘em
Its twisted, but you must admit I'm gifted
From San Fran to Switzerland, and Erica to Kristin my Predicament's ridiculous like fishing in Lake Michigan
Just drop the tip in and you're gettin like 4, 5, or 6 of em
Chorus A:
Shades on my face cause the sun’s in my space
Checkin’ Facebook think I got tagged
I'm a traveling man from L.A. to Japan
On my plane straight getting’ jetlagged
Lil mama I'm bad, to the bone
Wanna bone? (boner/doInggg noise) If you're down we can do it in my pad
22 years old, and my fortune ain't told
But I can tell (I know) that it's gonna be rad
Verse 2:
("For my Spanish girls”)
Es muy importante para mi vida
Para siempre escribo mi filosofia
Mi amiga Maria le gustan mis pelotas
Especificamente cuando estan en su boca
Oh yah, pero tranquila mi chica
Solo es una broma, no quiero causar herida
Mi silla es un lugar para ti, porque tu eres maravilla
Como la mona lisa o una más linda
Chorus A (x2):
Shades on my face cause the sun’s in my space
Checkin’ Facebook think I got tagged
I'm a traveling man from L.A. to Japan
On my plane straight getting’ jetlagged
Lil mama I'm bad, to the bone
Wanna bone? If you're down we can do it in my pad
22 years old and my fortune ain’t told
But I can tell that it's gonna be rad
Verse 3:
5am train from Kraków to Plzen
All for a girl who doesn't even speak English
Friends pretty pissed that I'm leaving em behind
But sometimes you gotta cut ties to get to the behind
It's a mindfuck, time's up, now we have arrived
Switch trains, it's a pain, but it's all part of the ride
So we glide to our seats and fade away to Tame Impala
If she speaking polish to me might as well be speaking nada cause,
I don't really have time for that
A side chick? Man I barely got time for rap
Cause my chick lives halfway across the map
And my dick don't wanna start from scratch, I mean, we got a
Good thing goin- international love
Skypin every single night givin virtual hugs
Sure the other girls are fun, but it's better with one
Especially when it's a girl with whom you've fallen in love
8 Bar Instrumental Break:
-guitar/bass solos
Chorus B:
Shades on my face cause the sun’s in my space
Checkin’ Facebook think I got tagged
I'm a traveling man from Dallas to Pilsen
Where my girlfriend lives on the map
Yeah she got a nice flat
And I don't have to pay bet her dad's pretty mad about that
Cause I stay all day and we play all night
Then I take a 30 minute long bath
