[Intro: Swae Lee]
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Seen the way you talkin' up my phone last night, on God
Mally Mall

[Pre-Chorus: Swae Lee]
It was way more than a two dollar holla
Stole your heart like Ali Baba (oh, your heart)

[Chorus: Swae Lee]
Seen the way you talkin' up my phone last night, on God (on my phone last night)
Do it on my jet, let's keep this private
She wants me too, she ain't even in denial (denial)
Wanna make love, she ain't even in denial (in denial)
We can get away-ay, maybe to Guatemala ('temala)
Got me goin' deep, got me all in freshwater (goin' under)

[Verse 1: Swae Lee]
Baby, when you laughin', is it 'cause you feel an excellent vibe? (Ooh, ooh)
That was just a fraction of the good love I provide (ooh, ooh)
See some niggas talkin' on the side, can you keep that silent? (Keep that quiet)
Maybe sayin' somethin' but you didn't mean nothin' by it
Took her to the room, in other words, kept that private (kept that private)
She was my heartbreak, I told her keep those violets (ooh, ooh)

[Chorus: Swae Lee]
Seen the way you talkin' up my phone last night, on God (talkin' on the phone)
Do it on my jet, let's keep this private
She wants me too, she ain't even in denial (denial)
Wanna make love, she ain't even in denial (in denial)
We can get away-ay, maybe to Guatemala (Guatemala)
Got me goin' deep, got me all in freshwater (freshwater)

[Verse 2: Swae Lee]
Flew in on a jet, what's that? Stylish
Take another sip, then get superpowers (woah, oh, oh)
If she got the hots for me, then dammit, I'm buyin' (I'm, I'm buyin')
I've got more pull than him and him combined (him combined)
Pourin' out dreams, 'cause we're really this high (really that high)
I just had my hand on her hip, she had her eyes on the prize (eyes on the prize)

[Chorus: Swae Lee]
Seen the way you talkin' up my phone last night, on God (talkin' on the phone)
Do it on my jet, let's keep this private
She wants me too, she ain't even in denial (denial)
Wanna make love, she ain't even in denial (in denial)
We can get away-ay, maybe to Guatemala (Guatemala)
Got me goin' deep, got me all in freshwater (freshwater)

[Verse 3: Slim Jxmmi]
Seatbelt, she roller coaster ridin'
Put you on a plane, been thinkin' 'bout it
Sippin' on Fiji, yeah, you taste like water (hey, hey)
Chasin' me, tryna make me your partner (tryna make me your partner)
Maybe we can lock in later on (yeah)
I can't guarantee I'll fall (fall)
Baby, we should lock in later on (hey)
I can't guarantee my heart (hey)
Baby, don't take too, too long (too long)
I ain't ever miss my mark (my mark)
Yeah, my ex-girl had to move on (on)
There's no pictures on the wall (ayy, ayy)

[Chorus: Swae Lee]
Seen the way you talkin' up my phone last night, on God (talkin' on the phone)
Do it at my house, let's keep this private (keep this private)
She wants me too, she ain't even in denial (in denial)
Wanna make love, she ain't even in denial (in denial)
We can get away-ay, maybe to Guatemala ('temala)
Got me goin' deep, got me all in freshwater (goin' under)

After docking at the port in Guatemala we headed off the yacht and explored the coastline at Escuintia before going inland to Coban. Swae showed me the place that he was planning on shooting the music video for Guatemala and his reason for it.

"So, the people here had a volcanic eruption that took everything from them, their homes, everything, it doesn't seem like our government with the Trump administration is willing to help them and somebody has to and I'm doing it. The money generated from 'Guatemala' is going to be donated to these people to bring their lives back."

"You're really sweet babe and that's nice of you." I said as I hugged him.

Tears were flowing from his eyes as he looked around the area. There was debris everywhere and sad faces.

"I hate seeing sad faces, I want the Guatemalans to be happy." Swae added.

"Well let's make them be happy right now, until we come back here for the music video and to donate the money." I said.

"How?" Swae asked.

"We play the song have them all dance to it, if its even for a day, at least we would be responsible for their smiles." I said.

"That's a good idea."

Jxmmi then brought out a speaker and turned up Guatemala loudly on it. The song caught the attention of the locals and they listened for a while before dancing along to it when Jxmmi and Tevin started dancing, followed by me and Swae.

The children all came out and showed us some dance moves and others came up to us.

A little girl walked up to me and Swae.

"Hey there." I said to her.

"Hey, I'm María." She said and handed me and Swae a drawing, it was a drawing of a place with people, birds and trees, rivers and a bright sun.

Swae stooped to her level.

"This is pretty, did you draw it?" He asked her.

"Yes." And the little girl started to explain the picture to both of us.

She had lost her family when the volcano erupted and the people she drew in the picture represented her mother, father, sisters and her brother, and now the other survivors are taking care of her as much as they can.

Swae and I hugged her for as long as we could and told her that she'll be ok.

After talking with the locals, Swae made the announcement to them that he'll be donating the money generated from the song to them.

They were all happy at this and thanked us.

"They literally have nothing here." Tevin said when he walked towards us.

"They've lost so much." Jxmmi said and wiped away a stray tear.

"So why are we here, there's nothing to do, nowhere to go." Kayla said.

"You bitch." I said angrily.

"What? Its just a question." She said.

"There's something to do, and its making these people happy. These people are smiling right now, forgetting for a while what their life has become." Jxmmi stated.

"There's hope for them now, they see it now that life isn't so bad after all." Tevin added.

"We're helping them rebuild their life when we donate." Swae added.

"You guys are Rae Sremmurd, your songs are worth billions, why waste it on people like them?" Kayla asked and I slapped her on the cheek.

"Heartless bitch." I said after.

We walked around and visited some national landmarks or what's left of them, the locals said as they showed us around.

Guatemala is a really beautiful place and the people are exceptional. They have a unique culture and they've persevered even through the hardships that they face. They are a strong people and they can make it through anything.

I totally recommend a trip to Guatemala and spending time getting to know the locals and learn about them. Its not fair that their lives had to go up in ashes, but that's life, and I'm glad to know that Swae Lee is donating all the money generated from Guatemala to them.

This chapter is dedicated to all the Guatemalans whether or not they were affected by the volcanic eruption in Guatemala.

It was really nice of Swae Lee to help the Guatemalans which is a reason to love him, not just his music but for his generosity.

I am a Jamaican, but I felt it for the Guatemalans and thank you @swaelee for helping them.
