[English]

Ah

Is it good?

Baby, I have—

Baby, I have—

Earned rest, at least that much

VHR, Vito, at least six

Millions on the phone, at least three (three, three)

Ah, that much

Earned rest, at least that much

VHR, Vito, at least six

Millions on the phone, at least three (three, three)

Ah, that much

Everything's good, ten out of ten, that's the rating

Come on, everything's good, I'm number one without boasting

Baby, honestly, I got the contracts

So I negotiate, no worries, I’ve got the contacts

To change things up, I don’t owe anyone

I act like I have two, three accounts in Switzerland

I'm not bad (I'm not bad)

No, I’m not bad (I'm not bad)

I’m not bad (I’m not bad, no I’m not, ah)

Baby, I have—

Earned rest, at least that much

VHR, Vito, at least six

Millions on the phone, at least three (three, three)

Ah, that much

Earned rest, at least that much

VHR, Vito, at least six

Millions on the phone, at least three (three, three)

Ah, that much

Again

Everything’s good (good)

Ten out of ten, that’s the rating

Come on, everything’s good, I’m number one without boasting

Justice of God, there is plenty

You can forget about trouble

I said, "Justice of God, there’s plenty"

Well-deserved rest for me

I’m not bad (I’m not bad)

No, I’m not bad (I’m not bad)

I’m not bad (I’m not bad, no I’m not... ah ah)

Baby, I have—

Earned rest, at least that much

VHR, Vito, at least six

Millions on the phone, at least three (three, three)

Ah, that much

Earned rest, at least that much

VHR, Vito, at least six

Millions on the phone, at least three (three, three)

Ah, that much

Again

Yes indeed

Let’s go, it’s

Again

Rest, at least that much

Vito, at least six

Phone, at least three

Ah, that much

Rest, at least that much

Vito, at least six

Phone, at least three

...
