[English]

Uh, waiter bring another round please

Bring that mother fucker back

A couple more, they like it all please

Cause y'all know how to act

And I don't give a fuck, can I live?

Cause we be doin' too much shit

Just a couple of kids from eastside of the 2-1-6

Bummin' a dollar and a dream real shit

Every day I wake up, higher than the night before

Blackin' out every night on tour

5 a.m we jump into the pool in our drawers

'Til the cops come. Run, run, fuck the law

And I was born to be wild

Sex, rock and roll and weed piles

Runnin' from the oldest seniles

Follow in my steps, then you walkin' a green mile

Trees in my pockets like my denims a greenhouse

Lead my team town?

Tell me what's my age again?

How many hours 'til I rage again?

This is the story of a young boy and the page we in

Say that he off chasin' fame again

And there he goes almost famous bitch

The bittersweet between my teeth

Tryin' to find the in-betweens

Fall back in love eventually

Yeeaah

Uh, half naked and almost famous

Wild nights and all those places

I be, half naked and almost famous

And when I get up I ain't changin'

Tell the world lace up

Kells

Yea, come rage with the Machine bitch

E.S.T the team bitch.

Never got a college degree

Too busy raisin' hell like it was friday the 13th bitch

Fuck clothes and fuck hoes

Hundred dollars worth of munchies, truckloads

Eighty-nine cent slushy in the cuphold

Don't know where I'm goin', but we gone what's home?

Maybe I'll just mapquest my dream

And it'll say the address was me

So what I really wanted all alongs been camouflaged by deed?

I'm not a pro, I just dogged the lead?

California dreams

Where we sittin up under the Cleveland weather and

Wishin' for heat, I guess I need to see the leather man?

Uh, I just wanna be young forever man

Roll the peter pan, light it up and let's Neverland

Mother fucker I'm gone

The bittersweet between my teeth

Tryin' to find the in-betweens

Fall back in love eventually

Yeeaah

Uh, half naked and almost famous

(The bittersweet between my teeth)

Wild nights and all those places

(Tryin' to find the in-betweens)

I be, half naked and almost famous, famous

(Fall back in love eventually)

And when I get out, I ain't changin' tell the world lace up

Kells
