Teen icon Justin Bieber has remixed the risky lyrics of fellow Canadian artist Drake’s ‘Trust Issues’ with more kid-friendly verses.
The 17-year-old singer reworked on the dope hit by keeping the original beat intact and leaving the rapping part to Drake.
Bieber, however, alters the lyrics to make them more PG-rated, reported AceShowbiz.
Instead of the lines, ‘I’mma sip until I feel it, I’mma smoke it till it’s done,’ Bieber sang, ‘I’mma sing until I feel it, I’mma go till it’s done’.
He continues to tone down the verses with, “You just need to listen, I’ll teach you how to fix it/ But you’re the only one, ‘cause I don’t trust these women/ I don’t, I don’t trust these women.”
Both Bieber and Drake attended 2011 MTV Video Music Awards on August 28 at LA’s Nokia Theater.
The former came to the stage to collect Best Male Video presented by Kim Kardashian, while the latter appeared before the crowd to introduce labelmate Lil Wayne’s performance.
