Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Yeah

Yeah, yeah

Um

Yeah

Well

You could have the world in the palm of your hand

You still might drop it

And everybody wanna reach inside your pockets

I tell 'em red light, stop it

Shit, that give me more headaches than alcoholics

There was nothin' in my wallet, just a lot of dreaming

I built a crib on top of the Promised Land, we'll call it even

Hm, I bring more flavor than all the seasons

Winter, spring, summer, fall, the grass is always greener 'til I cut it all

Please leave me to my studies, I give you no applause

My hands been counting money, and it's hard to be the boss

But somebody gotta do it (It gets so exhausting)

Often with the bullshit, but, baby, I been through it

Enough for the both of us

So come over later and we won't let no one close to us

We could be posted up

Yeah

Okay, well, you could have the world in the palm of your hand

You still might drop it

And everybody wanna reach inside your pockets

So it goes

It's like, in every conversation, we the topic

This narcissism, more like narcotics

So it goes

Well, everybody gather 'round

I'm still standin', sit down

Woah-oh

And I know been out (And I know I been out)

But now I'm back in town (But now I'm back in town), so I

Show you the ropes

So it goes, so it goes, so it goes

La-da-da-da, la-da-da

La-da-da-da, da-da-da

So it goes (So it goes)

La-da-da-da, la-da-da

La-da-da-da, da-da-da

So it goes

Well, this is a special delivery

Coming to you live with the

Endless artillery, always down to ride

My eyes on the enterprise

Nine lives, never die, fuck a heaven, I'm still getting high

Never mind, did I mention I'm fine

'Cause her pussy gettin' wetter when the weather dry

Clementine, peelin' off and everyone get left behind

I'm only 5'7", 'cept I'm feelin' like I'm 7'5"

Damn it, cross planets, interstellar

Never land, not a Jackson, packed with action

So what's happenin', my man?

No relaxin', kickin' back, this ain't exactly in the plan

I can't get no satisfaction, goddamn

They sayin' I been gone too long

I could just tell 'em fuck you, but that come on too strong

My god, it go on and on

Just like a circle, I go back where I'm from

Well, everybody gather around

I'm still standing, sit down

Woah-oh

And I know been out (And I know I been out)

But now I'm back in town (But now I'm back in town), so I

Show you the ropes

So it goes, so it goes, so it goes

La-da-da-da, la-da-da

La-da-da-da, da-da-da

So it goes (So it goes)

La-da-da-da, la-da-da

La-da-da-da, da-da-da

So it goes
