[English]

I don't wanna lose my mind, I don't wanna lose myself

Tell me if I crossed a line, I ain't tryna hurt myself

Didn't wanna call your name, only got myself to blame

Oh yeah

In my world, in my mind, always runnin' out of time

In my love, in my heart, you're the only kryptonite

But I, but I wait for you

Still, I wait for you

Yeah, it feels

So good, I might just lose my mind

No question if it's wrong or right

Ain't no way to tell which way it's gonna go

Yeah, but it feels

So good, I might just lose my mind

No question if it's wrong or right

And now it's too late, no way to take it slow, oh

...

Yeah

Bounce back when bottles is on me

I'm pushin' a new pen, rewritin' the story

Hello to my old ways, goodbye to the nosebleeds

You fightin' to stay here, you probably ODin'

Ain't finna pop for no reason

I don't throw shots, I run legions

I been goin' over the top where no queen been

Die with no regrets, this is my season

Itch to pull trigger, gift that keep givin'

None to wrap up, I ripped a new ribbon

They wanted to catch up, wanted my good riddance

You saw me at rock bottom, you wanted a new winner

I paved the way for 'em

Take the pain, doubled it, put it in wave form

Safe to say trouble ain't what you was made for

Keepin' the rang on

I told 'em all, "Game on," the minute I came on

Yeah, it feels (it feels)

So good, I might just lose my mind (lose my mind)

No question if it's wrong or right

Ain't no way to tell which way it's gonna go (yeah)

Yeah, it feels (it feels)

So good, I might just lose my mind (lose my mind)

No question if it's wrong or right

And now it's too late, no way to take it slow, oh

...
