[English]

(Born to be, had to be the drama)

(Ha-ah, ah)

(Ha-ah, ah)

There's a whisper in the night

Oh-oh, and it calls my name

Oh-oh, and it calls my name

There's a silence only I

I was born to break

I was born to break

I'm the drama, I'm the face

I make heads turn in this place

And they linin' up, and they linin' up

And they linin' up for a taste

I'm the drums and I'm the bass

A goddamn filthy disgrace

And they linin' up, and they linin' up

And they linin' up for a taste

I'm the drama, I'm the drama, I'm the drama

I'm the drama, I'm the drama, I'm the drama

They linin' up for a taste

I'm the drama, I'm the drama, I'm the drama

I'm the drama, I'm the drama, I'm the drama

They linin' up for a taste

When I walk in, feel your eyes

Oh-oh, and they call my name (call my name)

Oh-oh, and they call my name (call my name)

There's a silence only I

I was born to break

I was born to break

(I'm the drama, I'm the drama)

(I'm the drama, I'm the drama)

I'm the drama, I'm the face

I make heads turn in this place

And they linin' up, and they linin' up

And they linin' up for a taste

I'm the drums and I'm the bass

A goddamn filthy disgrace

And they linin' up, and they linin' up

And they linin' up for a taste

I'm the drama, I'm the drama, I'm the drama

I'm the drama, I'm the drama, I'm the drama

They linin' up for a taste

I'm the drama, I'm the drama, I'm the drama

I'm the drama, I'm the drama, I'm the drama

They linin' up for a taste

(Born to be, had to be the drama)

(Ha-ah, ah)

(Ha-ah, ah) they linin' up for a taste

(Born to be, had to be the drama)

(Ha-ah, ah)

(Ha-ah, ah)
