[English]

I'm not joking

I don't smoke and I don't drink

I've said this shit a million billion trillion times

They be looking at me like they haven't seen this type of guy

I don't know why

I'm not joking

I don't smoke and I don't drink

I've said this shit a million billion trillion times

They be looking at me like they haven't seen this type of guy

I don't know why

Which type of guy do I look like

I wonder why

又要再講幾多次

How many times

外表太壞得到這反應

早已見怪不怪

2019 Mademan Taipei

最後一次飲醉

表演慶功 I got my crew & 23 yeah

施展武功躲走半天 I'm pretty knackered

在夜深三點計劃很可惜也

Half shot of whiskey

That's what

What they gave me

I'm not joking

I'm not joking

I'm not!

I don't smoke and I don't drink

I've said this shit a million billion trillion times

They be looking at me like they haven't seen this type of guy

I don't know why one more time

I'm not joking

I don't smoke and I don't drink

I've said this shit a million billion trillion times

They be looking at me like they haven't seen this type of guy

I don't know why

Which type of guy do I look like?

Now I got this pain inside my head

後悔沒有堅決拒絕say no

對這班酒鬼心死

God damn

這魔鬼般的心地

I can hear them laughing in my face

心想一班兄弟為我頂

I was thinking too much I know

My face is getting red

It's turning red turning red

I don't know how much longer I'm gonna

God damn

嘩好辛苦啊

I'm not joking

I don't smoke and I don't drink

I've said this shit a million billion trillion times

They be looking at me like they haven't seen this type of guy

I don't know why

I'm not joking

I don't smoke and I don't drink

I've said this shit a million billion trillion times

They be looking at me like they haven't seen this type of guy

I don't know why

Which type of guy do I look like?
