I follow the scent like a hunting dog.
I love my guitar just as it’s always been.
I go wild on the guitar; when it ends, more comes.
I love life when there’s only a plan A.
I’m into the shotgun while you watch the mambo from the side.
I don’t like being high, but I don’t talk.
Let’s go!
I love that “Come back, we miss you.”
But I love my phone when I’m out of data.
I just want a house where I can see the sea.
One day I’ll have the house, but I already sense something wrong.
I like how there are still angry fools.
Biting your nails isn’t a snack.
I don’t like seeing a cat in its male form.
My motto is “Money heals” (manicure, you fools), yet there’s nothing in my hands.
I love peace, come talk to me about passion, I want to hear birds chirping.
They like to fit in; even if they speak their mind they still mess up the paycheck.
And I’m into it.
When rap is gritty and comes with punchlines.
I love rap when I own the master rights.
I used to want to be rich and a ghost.
I love my weed when it never runs out.
I was never the dreadlocked guy in the back seat.
I follow the scent like a hunting dog.
I love my guitar just as it’s always been.
I go wild on the guitar; when it ends, more comes.
I love life when there’s only a plan A.
I’m into the shotgun while you watch the mambo from the side.
I love Autotune if you have to sing.
Dread and who knows?
If what I love today isn’t tomorrow.
I used to want kids, I keep moving houses.
While the kids’ mother keeps changing faces.
I don’t love dreads that I only see on Saturdays.
I’m not your bestie and I’m the one who pays.
They arrive in the light like a Wise King.
And they hate Jesus for lying down, that’s actually funny.
I don’t love baptisms when they marry, I’m missing.
My mambo would be noticeable in a suit.
I love my Friday at home on the couch.
I love my fanbase even though I hardly talk to them.
I love seeing bad vibes and lack of tea.
They enjoy smiling at me, it’s yellowish.
She loves seafood, actually, hey.
I’m going to earn a little bit.
I didn’t like math in school.
I trained the stack and didn’t glitch.
I appreciate myself more each passing year.
Mirrors on the wall give me a short buzz.
I like caravans that don’t pass.
China, gate and the dogs bark.
I like this beat, it’s on point.
I like the vibe when I go down.
That I never was the dreadlocked guy in the back seat.
I follow the scent like a hunting dog.
I love my guitar just as it’s always been.
I go wild on the guitar; when it ends, more comes.
I love life when there’s only a plan A.
I’m into the shotgun while you watch the mambo from the side.
