about

Parody of Bang! by AJR. The subject matter is what the title should suggest.

lyrics

Is this drugs? What is fleek
Is that some sort of Greek?
And I’m flummoxed how someone is suddenly weak
I’m intelligent, why
Do these things make my mind explode?
(Slang! Slang! Slang!)

Also, will you tell me
What is spilling the tea
Seems the liquid will stick in that figure of speech
I’m intelligent, yeah,
But I can’t seem to crack the code
(feeling old)

My salad days are gone, everybody
The words I hear sound wrong, everybody
Oh dang
Can’t keep up with the slang

I’m from the time of takes two to tango
And did this guy just say I’m a mango?
What’s mang?
Can’t keep up with the slang

I’ve been watching a gif
And I’m wondering if
I am happy then why would I yeet off a cliff?
I’m intelligent, right?
But at moments it’s like who knows?
(Slang! Slang! Slang!)

Metrocard

Yeah right now I’m yelling
At kids on the bus
Because they were tellin’
Each other I’m sus
And I cannot spell this
But from their looks it must
Be ruder than a cuss
It must be bad, it must

How does a movie slap, I don’t get it
The words they say in rap, ah, forget it
Oh dang
Can’t keep up with the slang
(slang slang slang)

It makes no sense to me, all this lingo
I feel like I should be playing bingo
Oh dang
Can’t keep up with the slang
(Dang Dang Slang)
(Dang Dang Slang)

I’m intelligent, right?
But at moments it’s like who knows

These words fill me with doubt, everybody
My brain feels like it’s out of my body
Like Krang
Can’t keep up with the slang

My salad days are gone, everybody
The words I hear sound wrong, everybody
Oh dang
Can’t keep up with the slang

I’m from the time of takes two to tango
And did this guy just say I’m a mango?
What’s mang?
Can’t keep up with the slang
