I smell that Dolce scent, I’m with my other half
I’ve got my Cartier shades on under the palm trees
I smell that Dolce scent, I’m with my other half
They said I was done (they said I was done)
That there was nothing left for me (nothing left for me)
My love, I’ll love you forever (forever)
I would pull down the stars for you
I wish you all happiness and peace
May the good Lord help you on your way
Long life, but health above all
We never know what could happen tomorrow
You spend your time picking me apart
Trying to see what I do, what I don’t do
There’s a lot of jealous ones in line
Why are they like this? Me, I don’t know
Some like me, some have it out for me—it’s just people
What can I do? That’s how it is, that’s how it goes
We were friends for so long—now, not anymore
We split paths, but I’m not stressing
A little smoke, a little sip
What I’m living is wild, too many feels
I’ve got my Cartier shades on under the palm trees
I smell that Dolce scent, I’m with my other half
I’ve got my Cartier shades on under the palm trees
I smell that Dolce scent, I’m with my other half
Baby, you make me happy, you make me happy far from them
Your smile and your hair, I want you forever, forever
Give them attention (give them attention)
After that, they disrespect you (they disrespect you)
I screw you over with no shame (no shame)
Being the first isn’t all, you have to stay there
Baby, I’ve got my quirks, I loved you just as much (just as much)
Me, I’ve got nothing to regret-gret-gret
We met again yesterday, it’d been so long (so long)
I’ve never been as happy as I was, as I was
Baby, you make me happy, you make me happy far from them
Your smile and your hair, I want you forever, forever
A little smoke, a little sip
What I’m feeling is crazy, it’s so emotional
I’ve got my Cartier shades on under the palm trees
I smell that Dolce scent, I’m with my other half
I’ve got my Cartier shades on under the palm trees
I smell that Dolce scent, I’m with my other half
Baby, you make me happy, you make me happy far from them
Your smile and your hair, I want you forever, forever
You spend your time picking me apart
Trying to see what I do, what I don’t do
Lots of jealous ones in line
Why are they like this? Me, I don’t know
Some like me, some have it out for me—it’s just people
What can I do? That’s how it goes, that’s how it is
We were friends for so long—now, not anymore
We split paths, but I’m not stressing
I’ve got my Cartier shades on under the palm trees
I smell that Dolce scent, I’m with my other half
I’ve got my Cartier shades on under the palm trees
I smell that Dolce scent, I’m with my other half
(Arian proud)
(Provokind)
(Samzer, nice to meet you)
