歌詞：
Yeah, check it out, fellas
Yeah, check it out, fellas
Yeah, the music's pumpin' loud
And I got my speakers pumpin' loud
And I'm stoked up with the vibe
And I'm feeling like I'm on my grind
And I'm ready to take flight
And I'm feeling like I'm floating high
With the music in the night
And I'm feeling like I'm on my way
[Chorus]
Pumped up on my own vibe
I'm on a roll, and I'm jacked up
On my flow, with my brain buzzed up
And my thoughts locked up
So let me get my vibe on
I got the next level, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Now it's all around me
Everywhere I turn there's a danger in the air
Trying to block me out, but it's too late for that now
And now it's like they staring at me in the hallway
I don't know what they after, but I ain't gonna fall for it now
And now they trying to find me, they got their eyes on me now
But I ain't gonna stop now, no, no, no, no
[Chorus]
Pumped up on my own vibe
I'm on a roll, and I'm jacked up
On my flow, with my brain buzzed up
And my thoughts locked up
So let me get my vibe on
I got the next level, oh yeah
[Bridge]
This beat pumpin', my heart is thumpin', oh yeah
But they can't stop me now, I got my mojo going strong
Now I'm jacked up, so I don't know what to do now
I can't stop, won't stop, just gonna ride the vibe now
[Chorus] (x2)
Pumped up on my own vibe
I'm on a roll, and I'm jacked up
On my flow, with my brain buzzed up
And my thoughts locked up (my thoughts are locked up)
So let me get my vibe on (so let me get my vibe on)
I got the next level (got the next level) oh yeah (oh yeah)
[Outro]
Pumped up kicks make me feel alright (x2)
So let me get my vibe on (let me get my vibe on) oh yeah (oh yeah)
