Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Gotta free my mind, yeah, yeah

They gon' understand what

Ay son, we all fightin' some type of

Fuck it, hol' up

Yeah, drownin' in sorrow, yeah

Back on the bottle, yeah

I'm not alone, yeah

Blanco, Reposado, yeah

Drownin' in sorrow

Back on that bottle, yeah

I'm not alone, yeah

Blanco, Reposado, yeah

Yeah, tryna ease my mind, yeah, tryna free my mind

Got a threesome with these demons, and I need some time now

I go easy up, they go easy down

When you bitches get too mixy, might got kick you out

Yeah, can't figure this out

She make me numb, but she make me smile

She make me talk more, but she make me loud

And she know I'm introverted, you know I hate a crowd

Here we go, yeah, back again (where we goin'?)

Got enough to go around, so tell all yo' friends

Soon as the club over, put 'em all in Benz

Will I remember this tomorrow? Well, it all depends

Yeah, drownin' in sorrow, yeah

Back on that bottle, yeah

I'm not alone, yeah

Blanco, Reposado, yeah

Drownin' in sorrow

Back on that bottle, yeah

I'm not alone, yeah

Blanco, Reposado, yeah

Yeah, I woke up at like 4:00 in the mornin'

Went to bed at 4:00 in the mornin'

In the club for an hour or somethin'

I was up for like 48 of 'em

From the Capitol back to Mulholland

Landover and back to Rodeo

Makin' sure that my circle is tight

So nobody I know got an angle

Got me drinkin' whatever this is

Light or brown, 'cause I gotta be gold

And my beautiful house, no friends

Now I'm, "Where is my casamigo?"

And my mama don't ever say hi

She say, "Mmcht, why are you single?"

I said, "Mommy, I'm sorry, I'm tryin'"

But nobody gon' love me like she do

And nobody gon' love me like she do

And nobody be lovin' like we do

And I'd rather be drunk and numb

Then be dumb, not tryin' to be

(Never mind, that's probably my ego)

Yeah, drownin' in sorrow, yeah

Back on the bottle, yeah

I'm not alone, yeah

Blanco, Reposado, yeah

Drownin' in sorrow

Back on that bottle, yeah

I'm not alone, yeah

Blanco, Reposado, yeah
