[Verse 1: Rio baile-funk male MC, raw chant flow over the booming tamborzao loop] Seat thirty-four E, and they think I got the worst Window got the view, and the aisle gets off first Olha, but the middle is the throne, and I'm the king Two arms, two rests, and I'm leanin' on everything Aisle man is snorin' with a pillow round his neck Window lady's readin', and she hasn't looked up yet Eleven hours over water, and I'm spreadin' like a sail Elbows out, vai, I'm the middle and the rail Pretzels on my tray, and a ginger ale on ice Middle seat is heaven if you're sittin' in it twice [Hook: Baile-funk MC, full tamborzao loop, handclaps on every line] Window got the sky, and the aisle got the knees Middle got the elbows, so I'm sittin' how I please Eleven hours over water, and I'm holdin' down my zone Both armrests, baby, middle seat's a throne [Verse 2: Carla, female MC, full verse from the window seat, sharp and fast over the kick and chopped percussion] Excuse me, mister throne, but half of that is mine I been watchin' you expand since we left the gate at nine I'ma slide my elbow back, I'ma take it inch by inch When you reach for your pretzels, I'ma take it in a pinch You got the middle, fine, but the middle ain't a crown You're a man between two windows, and I'm takin' your land down Every time the seat belt light goes on, I make a move Every time you sneeze, I gain an inch you'll never prove [Verse 3: Baile-funk MC, armrest drop, one kick per elbow as she leans, then the whole loop crashes back] Hour six, the war was even, hour seven, she was tough Hour eight, the cabin's dark, and neither one would budge Hour nine, her head went sideways, landed right on me Out cold on my shoulder, and she's snorin' like the sea Now she's got the left one, and her other arm's on mine I can't reach my pretzels, I can't reach my ginger ale or wine Vai, I'm frozen in the middle till the wheels are on the ground Both arms rest, and nobody's makin' a sound [Final Hook: Baile-funk MC, all the way up, full loop and handclaps] Window got the sky, and the aisle got the knees Middle got the elbows, so I'm sittin' how I please Eleven hours over water, and I'm holdin' down my zone Both armrests, baby, middle seat's a throne [Outro: Baile-funk MC, the tamborzao fading to the kick, half-chanted] Olha, wheels down, she's still out on my arm Both arms rest, and I ain't raisin' the alarm [End]
