[English]

I've tried being patient when my anger's up, but then I had a change of heart

If I get a text from another ex, I swear I'm gonna end up behind bars

I even tried praying every day, and God didn't wanna do his part

I'm a little blessed and a little stressed and my heart's a mess, think I'm gonna crash my car

Life's a bitch, well

So am I

But if I can't be happy, then at least I'm hot

Rather be in my bag than get stuck in my thoughts

Yeah, even if the whole world hates me, no love lost

If I'm gonna cry, then at least I'm hot (Hot, hot, hot)

Hot (Hot, hot, hot)

How ya doin', Nay?

I've been doin' real bad

Damn, but you look so fit

Well, I can guarantee that

The problem is

I can't figure out what the problem is

Ugh, alright, fuck it

But if I can't be happy, then at least I'm hot

Rather be in my bag than get stuck in my thoughts

Yeah, even if the whole world hates me, no love lost

If I'm gonna cry, then at least I'm hot (Hot, hot, hot)

Hot (Hot, hot, hot)

I don't know if you're new 'round here, but let me make this crystal clear

I might be down, but I'm so bad (Yeah, how 'bout that?)

I don't know if you're new 'round here, but let me make this crystal clear

I might be down, but I'm so bad (Yeah, how 'bout that?)

If I can't be happy, then at least I'm hot (Hot, hot, hot)

Rather be in my bag than get stuck in my thoughts (Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts)

Even if the whole world hates me, no love lost

If I'm gonna cry, then at least I'm hot (Hot, hot, hot)

Hot (Hot, hot, hot)
