Birthday Party – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
This hospital's got lots of crying kids
A minute ago, I did not exist
It's nice to finally meet my relatives
I bet it's always gonna stay this fun
I bet it's easy staying away from drugs
I bet our parents always stay in love
Always stay in love
Me, my
Oh, what a life
So lean on my people
Gon' be stepping in time (wow)
Me, my
Oh, what a life
So lean on my people
Gon' be stepping in time
So thank you
For coming to my birthday party
I'm one minute old today
And everything is going great
Thank you
For coming to my birthday party
I'm one minute old today
And my minute's been going great
And I hope it stays that way
...
I bet this Instagram's a load of fun
It's best to show the best of everyone
I bet it never bites us in the bum
I bet my ignorance is always bliss
Except ignoring pigment in our skin
I bet my country's nice to immigrants
And that's just how it is
Me, my
Oh, what a life
So lean on my people
Gon' be stepping in time (wow)
Me, my
Oh, what a life
So lean on my people
Gon' be stepping in time
So thank you
For coming to my birthday party
I'm one minute old today
And everything is going great
Thank you
For coming to my birthday party
I'm one minute old today
And my minute's been going great
And I hope it stays that way
...
In heaven, everything is fine
In heaven, everything is fine
You got your good things
And I've got mine
Heaven, everything is fine
In heaven, everything is fine
You got your good things
I've got mine
Thank you (thank you)
For coming to my birthday party
I'm one minute old today (one minute old today)
And everything is going great (I've got mine)
Thank you (thank you)
For coming to my birthday party
I'm one minute old today (one minute old today)
And my minute's been going great
(And I hope it stays that way)
This hospital's got lots of crying kids
A minute ago, I did not exist
It's nice to finally meet my relatives
I bet I'll never outgrow all my friends
I bet I'll see our female president
Yeah, I can tell this life will be a cinch
And that's just how it is
...
