[English]

This is Rocket Power, taking off from Aeroparque

Another city awaits, so let's go

Come find me, I'm running late (late, late)

Slow down, wait for me (wait)

It's raining outside (raining)

The Rip Gang is going crazy (crazy)

Forget that, I'm going wherever you are, I just want to be okay with you

In a threesome with VLONE

We're heading to the next destination

Shorty, the time doesn't matter

We're together all the time

...

He shows me normal stuff

I watch anime from the 2000s

I smoked one, and got a little weird

If it makes you cringe, don't blame me, uh

He says he understands, but he doesn't

And then I go again like uh-uh-uh

I'm not doing good or bad, I'm just meh

Forget it again, eh-eh-eh

Okay, the night is just starting

Let's find some coke

On tour, taking planes

If I'm with you, forget the rest

I'll leave my soul in the Mosh Pit

Breaking it down, moshing to Limp Bizkit

I wake up, kinda horny

Mmh, mmh, mmh-mmh, mmh-mmh

Shorty, let me know if we're leaving or not

If you want, I'll stay right now

But then I have to go, I have a couple of shows

People are waiting for me outside

Slow down, wait for me (wait me)

It's raining outside (raining)

Forget that, I'm going wherever you are, I just want to be okay with you

...
