First, I do like this,
Put a look on my face like I smelled some piss,
bounce to the beat till it starts to hurt,
Then i dust all the smirk off me shirt,
dip to the ground as I catch the bass,
Then I wipe all the sweat off me face,
Pop back up and I start to slide,
Popping my collar as I glide,
Then I break the thing down and do the bird,
Dust myself off like I just stole third,
Comeon everybody nows the chance,
It aint the harlem shake,
Its the thizzle dance
Can you do the Thizzle Dance?
