[English]

Sixteen lines of blow and I'm fine

...

Wastin' your time, wastin' your time

Please don't cry

Sixteen lines of blow and I'm fine

Break my bones, but act as my spine

I wonder who you'll fuck when I die

And if I tried to call, would you cry?

Please don't cry, you're wastin' your time

Sixteen lines will make me feel fine

Ten years ago, I went blind

I been on my own since age nine

Sixteen lines of blow and I'm fine

Break my bones, but act as my spine

I wonder who you'll fuck when I die

And if I tried to call, would you cry?

Please don't cry, you're wastin' your time

Sixteen lines will make me feel fine

Ten years ago, I went blind

I been on my own since age nine

I been on my own for two nights

I been in my zone, I've been high

Now she wonder why do I lie

I can't tell my wrongs from my rights

Is anybody out there? (Is anybody out there?)

Can anybody hear me? (Can anybody hear me?)

I hate it when you fake care (I hate it when you fake care)

Girl, I know you hear me (girl, I know you hear me)

Is anybody out there? (Is anybody out there?)

Can anybody hear me? (Can anybody hear me?)

I hate it when you fake care (fake care)

Girl, I know you hear me (hear me)
