[English] Yeah

BrusselsLife
Yes, eh
In her place, I swam the crawl
Yet her guy comes to check me with a shoulder
If I'm on the ground, it's because I'm doing push-ups
I check my balance, I settle my accounts
Eh, shut your mouth, news broadcast
The whole world is getting daheshized
I have a big ness-bi, I'm immune
Concert at Bercy, NeroNemesis-ed
I spray my piss on the Champs-Elysées
Too high, I don't remember what I was saying
I do the "screw your mother, the whore"
Fuck your 2000 gross salary
I'm in the hood
Damso, Dems
Lightsaber, Skywalker Luke
I take her from behind, she screams out the window
Gentle lubricant, musk scent (Dems)
They caught me off guard, in hate, I meditate
At the hospital, I'm going to get sucked by Gwen Meredith
I play against Bilbao, I can only make the difference
