“Cannon (Remix)” is a remix of Asher Roth “CANNON!!!” by Boyder & Bangley and features Justin Bieber.
Justin Bieber sang the song on Power 106's interview in 2011.
Background[]
In 2008, Asher Roth, Brain Bangley and Boyder moved to Atlanta, GA. That same year, Scooter Braun moved Justin Bieber to their neighborhood. Naturally, knowing no one else in their new town, they all became friends. To kill the free time they had between their jobs, they recorded silly rap songs in the studio located in their rat infested basement. The lyrics of these songs were very much typical of anyone's first raps: braggodocious, crude, and meaningless. Early 2014, someone sold one of these songs to TMZ for an amount of money.
Brain Bangley and Boyder were in their basement in Atlanta, GA recording when Justin Bieber's mom dropped him off. They wanted Justin to stay upstairs and play MarioKart, but he insisted and persisted. So they gave him a notepad and paper, sent him upstairs, and said, "If you can write 16 bars, we'll let you hop on." About 10 minutes later, Brain Bangley and Boyder were a few lines into their verses when, through the makeshift blanket doors of the studio, they heard an excited, high-pitch voice exclaim, "I'm done!" That he was. Boyder thought it was clever and fun, so they decided to let him record it, all the while thinking they could just delete it so Scooter would never hear. They sent him into the studio, and he laid down his verse in one take.[1]
At the Woodie Awards 2009, Asher Roth revealed the following to MTV "He can rap, I put him on a remix, but I don't think his mom would like that very much."[2]

[Intro]
Hahaha, haha
[Verse 1: Boyder]
Haha, yo baby, it's Boyder
Bring a yardstick so you can measure my (Cannon)
I'm all up in your crib, I'm all up in your fridge
And I'm slingshotting pennies to [?], duh
I'm the man you duh
Tell your man to man up
25 phone numbers named to man 'Duh'
If I'm not butt naked, I'm in my drawers
If I'm not with my chick then I'm with yours
She wants Ash, Bangley and Boyder
[?] Koy like Detmer
Yeah I'm dirt and you can do better
[?] and you have fun never
Yes [?] if I knew the boy from The Burbs
I was like true, she was like word
And I ate that you know
Until I burp
Now she needs me like Wayne needs purp
[Verse 2: Brain Bangley]
Brain, Brain Bangley
I have no pants on
Just swinging my two balls in the (Cannon)
Feeling myself like I beat my own (Cannon)
You don’t need Gettysburg to wanna launch the (Cannon)
Baby, it's Bangley
Why don't you check out how I'm hanging (Boing)
I'm so shriveled
And I'm always to the left
What a pretty ass penis nonetheless
Got your girl sucking wet from the (Cannon)
And then I stroke the waters like I'm freaking Michael Phelps (I'm winning)
Bringing home the gold like I'm something else (Oh)
No one in the world could touch me like myself (No)
You couldn't touch me like the top shelf
You couldn't see me, Asher, Boy neither
So let me introduce you to my boy beaver
[Verse 3: Justin Bieber]
Hey (Justin), yo I'm JB (Haha), a.k.a. untouchable
Similar to Jay Z, cause my shoulder is brushable
Yo I'm droppin' this beat like Cannon
Oh you know I'm chillin' on the couch like Shannon
Oh I got boy Bangley all up on the mic
And oh, what a feelin', I'm feelin' nice
No ring on my finger to hold me down
So I got all these women that are holdin' me down
Hey, my young wanna have some fun
And you can play with my cannon
Oh it is my understanding
That you would like to start webcammin' (Cannon)
What about Facebook? Or Myspace (Cannon)
How would you like to take a look at my face (Cannon)
Isn't it pretty? But so is my cannon
No I'm not done, I am still standin' (Cannnon)
Chrome 22's on my grocery cart
Rollin' down the street, tryna find me a heart to break
That is not hard, it's a piece of cake
It's all because of my cannon (Woo)
Cannon
[Outro: Justin Bieber, Boyder & Brain Bangley]
Woo
Yo
Yo, Lenox Mall, man. Yeah I kicked this
Yeah Justin, we're takin' you to Lenox Mall, and we're gonna pick up some chicks
Yeah.. I'm not gettin' girls otherwise
We got it, it's the answer
Yeah, Justin's the key to gettin' girls here
