[English]

50, 50 feet up underground

You know I keep my feet on the sound

50, 50 feet up underground

You know I keep my feet on the sound

I'm around, baby, I'm around

Underground, but you know I'm around

I was down, lately I've been down

Ran around, now, I'm back, I'm found

Pour the wine up

You're silent

Why though?

You know you like this style of this side

I know you like it

I fucked you right

I did

I loved you every single night

You know you like that, dear

You know you like it when I ride

You owe me all of it

You told every single time

I am holding on to it

I am holding everything that's mine

I fucked you right

I did

I loved you every single night

You know you like that, dear

You know you like it when I ride

You owe me all of it

You told me every single time

I'm holding on to it

I'm holding everything that's mine

You know it

Popped a pill, what's the deal?

I don't feel it anymore

Popped, popped a pill

What's that? You know I've down on the floor

I cried everyday, you know this ain't real anymore

It's a dream on the door, it's a dream on the board

It's the life and you warned me "Hold tighter"

Reminiscing on old times with my red lighter

Said you feel it in your throat when I sing

You know what I mean, you know what I mean

I fucked you right

I did

I loved you every single night

You know you like that, dear

You know you like it when I ride

You owe me all of it

You told every single time

I am holding on to it

I am holding everything that's mine

I fucked you right

I did

I loved you every single night

You know you like that, dear

You know you like it when I ride

You owe me all of it

You told me every single time

I'm holding on to it

I'm holding everything that's mine

You know it

50, 50 feet up underground

You know I keep my feet on the sound

50, 50 feet up underground

You know I keep my feet on the sound
