🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • That's the motto (mhm)
  • Throw it back with no chaser, with no trouble (mhm)
  • Poppin' that Moët, baby, let's make some bubbles (mhm)
  • Puffin' on that gelato, wanna be seein' double

Echo the hook

  • Tell me, did I just stutter?
  • That's the motto (mhm)
  • Drop a few bills, then pop a few champagne bottles (mhm)
  • Throwin' that money like you just won the lotto (mhm)
