Cmon lah, together-gether mah How to go far when we fight-fight Make noize some more Make the blood go up Cmon lah, we Malaysian what?!! Cmon lah, together-gether mah Now pay attention sit down and listen So why cant we be obedient when no ones watching us 24/7 Passing red lights in the middle of the night Whats right is wrong, on the roads we become demons Honks and fingers, abuses and sisters That you force to stand and book your spot at the parking lot Unless if youre an AP king driving Ferraris Hustlers will scratch your doors and nail your tyres So which team do you support here? Melaka, Pahang , Selangor or Johor? Cause at the mamak stalls they watch the EPL scores Maybe thats why its hard for our national team to beat Singapore Just think about it..just give it a chance coz we need it Theres no one else in the world who cares if we dont care at all Just go on and on..and move on

Too many wannabes in our Hip Hop community Talking crap bout the ghetto, G thang and the rivalry Talk the way you normally talk lah Youre from KL, not an American rap star Whats wrong with the honies wearing minis Whether in the clubs or malls or streets in the cities We make a big deal about the little things in life On the differences rather than the similarities alike Just chill, be cool with each other After all theres no one out there gonna do us this favour Stop the slacking, dissin, slammin and moanin Cause were brothers and sisters, now everybody sing Haiya , why you want to fight-fight Make noise some more Make the blood go up Cmon lah, we Malaysian what?!! Cmon lah, together-gether mah
