I don't understand, it's strange, around my place,
I barely step out of my house, I immediately want to go back in.
And honestly, I need to stop smoking, but there's too little to do.
Right now, I look at this world and I can see it's the end.
It's scary, it's scary, but we really need to pray.
Maybe I could burn because of my voice.
I'm tired of humanity, I talk to a person, and they talk about another person.
Forget it, I'm tired, I'm better off alone.
With them, I had to let the Merinault slide.
You're not far, you're not far, that's what the city told me.
Hiding between four eyes, it was hard to stop looking at her.
It was dark, the gaze was filthy.
What he offered us was rabid cow.
What he offered us was rabid cow.
You're fat, not big, too bad for your belly.
Here, there are people, cousin, who want to eat.
So we don't care if you act like a girl.
Tell me how much, I won't talk for long.
And I advise you to stay unfiltered.
I like it when it's fresh, when it's really transparent.
But I'll light you up if you take advantage.
There need to be damn composers.
I need to hide or check there, I'm too targeted.
I just need to shut up for 48 hours.
You, since you have rabe, go cite everything.
They need to remember that I'm the future gem.
Right now, I'm too hungry, I advise you to avoid me.
Determination, value, and principle.
We need to keep the energy, cousin, to terrify them.
I'm in the bendo, to the west, calm, neutral, liquid.
Who's the next one we're going to liquidate?
I have my arms, I have my fire, I have my team.
Also the tools to poke you.
They need to remember that I'm the future gem.
Right now, I'm too hungry, I advise you to avoid me.
Determination, value, and principle.
We need to keep the energy, cousin, to terrify them.
It's 5:37, 2 PM court appointment.
The same things in the end, a refrain that hasn't landed.
You don't know how much it hurts, I don't forget what they did to me.
But well, it's okay, it made me stronger.
I learned how to sort well.
And know when to shoot the ambulance.
To have peace, I waged war in its footsteps.
But you don't know, all in full CP.
It's dead, we don't even talk, we're here to steal everything.
Booms and bangs, coming from all sides.
There, you see there are no more friends.
Okay, you understand that you have to count, that you have to prepare your plan alone.
What he offered us was rabid cow.
You're fat, not big, too bad for your belly.
Here, there are people, cousin, who want to eat.
So we don't care if you act like a girl.
Tell me how much, I won't talk for long.
And I advise you to stay unfiltered.
I like it when it's fresh, when it's really transparent.
But I'll light you up if you take advantage.
Crazy, there are damn composers.
I need to hide or check there, I'm too targeted.
I just need to shut up for 48 hours.
You, since you have rabe, go cite everything.
They need to remember that I'm the future gem.
Right now, I'm too hungry, I advise you to avoid me.
