Yeah, yeah, I know you're really stylish

Yeah, yeah, I know you're really stylish

Yeah, yeah, I know you're really strong

Don't buy endlessly

I still can't understand

Woo

So beautiful, another pair of trendy shoes

But you still can't read that trendy brand

A trendy kid goes to the trendy worship

If it doesn't fit, just wear it anyway

If it's the wrong size, just buy it anyway

The sun shines brightly in line

Actually, I quite admire your persistence

I know life ain’t easy for four pairs of Yeezy

Wearing Yeezy, nobody knows who Kanye West is

Excuse me, do you have Supreme?

No style, just keep being looked down upon

Please take back those Gucci slippers

Aren't you the one who withdraws money the best?

Find your godmother

The most important thing is to match

Balenciaga

What new styles are the most important to get quickly?

But you can't see the quality on you at all

Thinking you're really stylish

Stop playing, dude

You seem a bit lazy

Still not cleaned up

Not sure if you just happen to match

Everything looks a bit off on you

These materials make it hard for you to let go of the mundane

You keep pretending to be noble

Making friends close their eyes

In my personal opinion, you don't have to listen

I just don't care

You and I are not friends

If others don't have it and I do, that's called liking

How ironic, you're just a trendy public toilet

I’m done

Yeah, yeah, I know you're really stylish

Yeah, yeah, I know you're really strong

Don't buy endlessly

I still can't understand

係呀係呀叻呀叻呀 知你好撚型

係呀係呀叻呀叻呀 知你好撚型

係呀係呀叻呀叻呀 知你好撚勁

你咪買極唔撚停

我又睇極唔撚明

Woo

好撚靚 又一對新嘅潮鞋

但係你咪又係吾撚識讀嗰個 潮牌

一個潮孩去潮拜

唔啱帶佢照帶

唔啱size佢照買

太陽曬正照排

其實都幾欣賞你哋嗰份堅持

I know life ain’t easy for four pairs of yeezy

着住yeezy Kanye West 係邊個都唔知

不好意思你們有沒有 superme

無style 你咪繼續受人 疏擺

唔該你收返埋你嗰對咁嘅 Gucci拖鞋

你咪最撚叻提款

搵你契媽

最緊要齊款

巴黎世家

有乜嘢新款最緊要最快得到

但係你身上根本都睇唔撚到質素

以為自己好撚型

咪玩啦哥仔

你好似幾day

仲未梳洗

唔知係咪你襯得 有啲求其

成雞野擺喺你身上都 有啲流4

呢啲物質令你放唔低世俗

你繼續 扮 貴族

令朋友雙眼 閉目

我嘅個人意見你可以唔撚洗聽

我就係唔撚洗驚

我同你唔撚係friend

如果人無我有 呢啲叫做鍾意

好諷刺 你只不過係個潮流公廁

I’m done

係呀係呀叻呀叻呀 知你好撚型

係呀係呀叻呀叻呀 知你好撚勁

你咪買極唔撚停

我又睇極唔撚明
