[English]

I woke up feeling like a hundred million Euros

Wet dreams of purple and green

Flashbacks to when I was little

I used to balance on the edge, but always kept myself in the middle

You see not always could I choose, step in the wrong shoes

I'll put my hands on a stack of bibles you gonna lose

Bullet holes, stab wounds and tattoos

That say in only God me trust, first rule

Because I know it's all love when they put you in the ground

They see you climbing up and try to push you back down, in the mean time

Yeah I know that shit crazy

But I take it in and push myself on the daily

Karma's a foul lady in a dress and high heels

And she always comes around to knock my hands off the wheel

So I'm riding shotgun while I'm taking a drive

And hear my own voice talking in the back of my mind

Fuck with me, don't fuck with me

Fuck with me, don't fuck with me

Fuck with me, don't fuck with me

Fuck with me, don't fuck with me

I'm counting faces in the skyline

And all I can see is the road ahead

Somebody told me you can change if you want to

And always try to give what you get

I'm counting faces in the skyline

And all I can see is the road ahead

Somebody told me you can change if you want to

If you want to

Born alone and I'm gonna die the same way

When it's my time I'm gonna leave with more than a day's pay

By any means try, I to keep my circle clean

Jealousy is like a drug, embrace it and you're a fiend

Shit, I know my heart's in the right place

But when you give it all, you know they still gonna take

So, I can never let it pass me

That's why I tell them when they ask me, don't

Fuck with me, don't fuck with me

Fuck with me, don't fuck with me

Fuck with me, don't fuck with me

Fuck with me, don't fuck with me
