Part 1 of the dance challenge is performed to “Sticky” lyrics:

Lip gloss sticky, attitude b*tchy
How I taste? Peachy
He wanna lick my keke
I don’t drip, I’m leaky
In that thing knee deep
Have him singing with me-

Oh oh oh, oh oh it’s the thing to do
Oh oh, got my hands on you

Part 2 is performed to these lyrics:

Oh oh, got my hand on you

I’m in a foreign whip
Crossing the boarder, sh*t
You can’t afford the tip
You can’t afford to hit
Twerk on some Florida sh*t
He can’t get bored with this
That’s why he ice my wrist
Who you know rock it like this?
