One of our favourite lyrics fom Santan dave.

[Verse 3: Dave]
Walk in a party, standard
Where’s your army? Where’s your mandem?
On Insta, sittin’ in a mad whip
In traffic, man are looking like a catfish
Fake yutes, plastic
Stop acting, man are all average
My girl got a body bombastic
Elastic, call her Mrs. Fantastic
