Lyrics to Ma Bicyclette by Andrew Huang x Side Pony Nation

ma bicyclette! ma bicyclette! ma bicyclette!

have you seen me yet?
and ma bicyclette?
get your tools out
you could come and tweak these sets
i got a vicious cycle
i’m riding it right though
the places that i go?
the kids go psycho
grips in my hands, road under my feet
one day we’ll be taking over the streets
the ramps get brought out, the jumps erupt
you get air – pump p-p-pump pump it up!
i’m a fellow who could settle
for a special girl who pedals to the metal
while her feet are in stilettos
and uh, hello!
let’s go for a ride, you and i
i don’t mind if you’re on a shiny ship or if it’s ghetto
take either, i’ve ridden whips, ridden beaters
cruisers, all-terrains and two-seaters
used to do it top speed, nobody could touch me
now i’m on a chill tip, gliding on my dutchie

ma bicyclette! ma bicyclette! ma bicyclette!

summertime treks and the brawn is back
and i’m always shining when i’m on the track
call it bicycle wax, because i’m digging through crates
all worn out, i’m looking for new brakes
too tired like i got the knock
heads shocked ’cause i still never stop the rock
i’m getting geared up, slick ride pops your brain
might not look it, but it’s off the chain
i got a handle on it, so if you’re feeling like i feel
then i guess you’re feeling wheels rolling, pedals at your heels
on the real, i’m a spokesman
every day i’m grinning while i’m spinning like i’m winning
and it’s just the beginning, i’m really living
am i going a little too fast?
well i’m here in the city, i’m hitting critical mass
so many speeds, guess i’m still dealing with cassettes
got a racket on the rack, it’s ma bicyclette

ma bicyclette! ma bicyclette! ma bicyclette!

hello, it’s just me and my velo
rocking a side pony and stilettos
let’s go, we ride these streets
working our glutes, being urban athletes
honky honky, beep beep beepy
get on a bike and out that jeepy
ding ding ding as i speed by
excuse me miss – i love your ride!

daisy, daisy, give me your answer, do
and double up your pleasure on a bicycle built for two
in tandem as we pedal it, legs spinning smooth in sweet duet
take you on a ride you can’t forget on my bicyclette

dream cycle, gold frame, pedals to match
this beast is thinner than a model and the wheels don’t detach
so saddle up, got a seat that’s made of leather and velvet
purple flames painted on the side – i’ll see you in helmets

ma bicyclette! ma bicyclette! ma bicyclette!
