[Tetris beat drops]
I.
Kick if off, tovarech, be a beast let’s go
Pass it to the east to the land of snow (woo!)
Where the booties and the churches got them onion shapes
Where they make the Sputniks and the pee-pee tapes
Laika woof if you hear me, cause we’re takin off (ARF!)
Shaftin’ hard, even harder than the Romanovs
Every four years yeah we do this thing
Where the fans roll in with the soccer bling (Gol!)
And this time it’s big bears with the diamond rings (GRR!)
Cars, czars and stars, yeah it’s a Russian thing (da)
Biggest country in the world, got room to spare in
The place that gave us T.A.T.U. and Yuri Gagarin (blastoff!)
They get your auntie mad on Facebook about the Deep State (OBAMA!)
Like Peter and Catherine, the goals will be great
There’s Italy, France, Brazil, and let’s assume the USA (SPANGLED)
In 2017 we recorded this in Mayyyyy—
[chorus]
Bring your cleats and your girl cause we turnin up
All the drinks on me, but there’s just one cup (COPA!)
Vladimir got the beer so we brought the truck (vroom!)
World is buyin out the bar, but there’s just one cup
II.
Moscow got the flow
St. Pete got the Neva
where in the summer the canals
bring Venetian flavor
There’s a crazy huge nose chasing us to the party
Cause Russians read books
that are strange and arty (GOGOL!)
I’m down with Nizhny Novgorod
It’s the city for the Princes
Can’t miss Rostov
Cause I’m a Don who needs blintzes (yum!)
Don’t sleep! White nights on the Baltic Sea
Got me feeling like Kaliningrad’s the place to be
Historically the Baltic is a Russian lake
Historically it’s all Mother Russia’s to take
When my man Vlad P has to approve the song
Even Big Will Smith has to play along (Woo!)
[chorus]
Bring your cleats and your girl cause we turnin up
All the drinks on me, but there’s just one cup
Vladimir got the beer so we brought the truck (honk!)
World is buyin out the bar, but there’s just one cup
III.
Every team wants the cup, that’s the golden dream
You gotta play hard but you gotta play clean (spotless!)
Yellow card, red card! Watch your attitude!
Officials spit these cards like casino shoes
No tellin’ who I’ll see when I’m in the building
I’m a lover like Egyptians but Colombia’s thrilling (GOL!)
Wanna stan for Japan! The French I can’t miss (HAI!)
But it’s hard to be neutral when I’m watching the Swiss (MOO!)
So many choices, yeah they’re starting to stress me
How is Argentina clean when they keep it so Messi?
You gotta bring game if you wanna beat
Iceland, hot hands, geothermal heat
Nigeria I’m seein’ ya, Senegallin is ballin’
And when it comes to Serbia you know I’m all in
It’s all love from Russia, we’ll be hopin’ to see ya
The official card of the 2018 World Cup is Visa (SPONSOR!)
[chorus]
Bring your cleats and your girl cause we turnin up
All the drinks on me, but there’s just one cup
Vladimir got the beer so we brought the truck
World is buyin out the bar, but there’s just one cup
yeah Maxim Gorky I see you
Gazprom
Gazprom
Gazprom get it on by the Don
Woo!
steppin like Potemkin
shuttin’ them out like Lev Yashin
Quavo I see you
I call you Jewels Rimet
cause you run this
[fade out]
