[Verse 3: Supa Bwe]
Watching DBZ
Shorty stuck to me
Like she lowkey USB
I just want some head, want some lowkey guillotine
Police watching me like I'm lowkey new TV
Like I'm serving twenty p's
Like I lowkey used to be
Over the seas with my girl cause she over achieve
And don't put nobody over her king
Love my life
Shorty ride my face like bike
I'ma beat it like Mike, not Ike
Might split bro shit
On life, I might spent all you made
All year, all night
I might fuck some bands up
Or fuck your mans up
I might fuck some bands up
Or switch the plan up
Leave the country like right now
Shit, I might cop flight
I might take off tonight
I might, on life, I might
Tonight I might
[Chorus: Zekur]
Wala, Wala, Wala, Wala, Wala, Wala, Wala, Wala
Wala, Wala, Wala, Wala, Wala, Wala, Wala, Wala
[Verse 4: Chance the Rapper]
You need a name tag
She got the same ass
Same drawers, same car
Same bag, damn fraud
Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up, shake it up
Pop-pop-pop that cork
Pop it like July 4th
Shorty's don't move like yours
She got it from a store
You got it from the Stork
They don't do this up North
They always been indoors
[Chorus]
Wala Cam, Wala Cam, Wala Cam, Wala Cam

Supa Bwe is another Chicago recording artist. He was in a group called Hurt Everybody before doing solo work. He and Chance have worked together before.
In the days following the release of the single, Chance took to Twitter to comment on this very page, saying “I need someone to fix the lyrics on rap genius” and “I fixed the words on rap genius but I didnt fix the annotations cause theres too many things wrong can we do like a video.” I guess we ha...
Lido made the beat, and when I heard it, I was in the studio with a lot of my homies I grew up with.

I’ve always been a fan of Supa, and we’ve been friends for many years. He was friends with my brother first, but we’ve been friends for a few years and always just kicked it. But in this time when I was trying to really be working on my album, he was around a lot, and I luckily got a few songs with...
To me, what I see is I see a magic wand for Wala and I see a little camera in the corner, for Cam.
