[English]

Post Mortem

Everything stays the same, it’s the same every day

I’ve got the full outfit, even my socks are Bape

Bapesta cocaine, red with beige Levi’s

Don’t touch my tonic, it’s for the Bombay

Sometimes I feel like people will stop loving me

People bore me like playing chess

And my friends ask, “What’s wrong with you?”

Sometimes I just can’t leave my house

We went to that party to check out the scene

I walk right in, they don’t even check the list

Next to our table, the Insta models

And by their faces, they’ve never seen an artist before

It’s a reality

It’s a reality

It’s a reality

It’s a reality

We left the party, tossing bottles

Everywhere’s full of cops and damn security

Damn, I don’t want a selfie, my girl came with her bestie

And I’m dressed like Presley, buying a shovel from the trans woman

When I’m half-drunk, I befriend the demons

I lost my wallet, Johnny’s waiting in the limo

We popped a Moet Chandon on the ride

We blew it all, we’re breaking the law

...

It’s a reality

It’s a reality

It’s a reality

It’s a reality

It’s a reality

...

[Spanish]

Post Mortem

Todo sigue igual, e' lo mismo todos los days

Tengo el outfit completo, hasta las medias son Bape

Bapesta cocaine, y rojo con Levi's beige

No me toquen la tónica que es para el Bombay

A veces siento que van a dejarme de querer

La gente me aburre como jugar al ajedrez

Y mis amigos preguntan: "¿qué te pasa?"

Hay veces que no puedo salir de mi casa

Y fuimos a ese baile para echar unas vistas

Caigo y paso directo, ni chequean la lista

Al lado de nuestra mesa, la' modelo' del Insta

Y, por su' cara', parece que nunca vieron un artista

Es un reality

Es un reality

Es un reality

Es un reality

Nos fuimos de la fiesta, tirando botella'

To' lleno de trapito' y la yuta de mierda

Puta, no quiero una selfie, mi wacha cayó con su bestie

Y yo con la facha de Presley, comprándole pala al travesti

Cuando estoy medio en pedo, me amigo con los demon

Perdí la billetera, Johnny espera en la limo'

Descorchamo' en el viaje un Moet Chandon

Pasamo' todo en rojo, 'tamo' breaking the law

Es un reality

Es un reality

Es un reality

Es un reality

Es un reality
