Every day I play Fortnite, tons of hours
And when I'm landing know I'm going Tilted Towers
Open a chest, and I grab my favorite gun
If you see me rolling up then you know you better run
Every game I play it ends in victory
Tilted Towers is the spot you wanna be
When you land Tilted, better take that tower stance
Put your arms up by your side, do the Tilted Tower Dance

Go Tilted, go Tilted, go Tilted, go Tilted
Go Tilted, go Tilted, go Tilted, go Tilted
