[English]

See as I go in

Watch your mouth about me now

From my color hain't now

Million dollar seem now

Hollon on the phone gang

Working on the trail

Like we got a program

Like we run a scene

Ain't the any other means, oh

I see battle made

Welcome to the sendraw

Welcome to the lick

Welcome, welcome back to Syria

Yeah, like I said, let me entertain ya

But never let me wait

Do you love do you know do you know what you're about me

What you're about me

Do you love do you know do you know what you're about me

My lonely day

Gonna turn it up

On the way, my lonely day

Gonna turn it up, on the way

I don't wanna sing it like you want me to, I

Don't wanna turn it up like you want me to, I

Don't wanna sing it like you want me to, oh

I don't wanna say it what I just supported now

Do you love do you know do you know what you're about me

What you're about me

Do you love do you know do you know what you're about me

What you're about me
