Lamborghini, Polish plate
I smoke the Dutch weed
I make you smoke, I'm a gentleman
There's the jacuzzi, there's the sauna
She loves the city, the hood
Last outfit from Roma
She says: "My life is about men"
When you talk, don't use your hands
I act, I don't talk much, I don't have the words
Gucci, Fendi, Balmain
Aquarium of hits in the four rings
When you talk, don't use your hands
To turn you off, you know, you need to turn on
Your problems aren't mine
I'm calm, I light the peace pipe
I hadn't heard from you
Sometimes, I'm all alone
In the compressor
I smoke the weed that makes you cough
We're made for this
Put the beat on Bluetooth
Do the boussa
Discreet, I extend the file
I tell the street in my music, the crazy life
She doesn't know me at first, she says I'm a loser
Together, all new, and you cruise in a Testarossa
You lower the window, you connect it and she shows you her crazy side
I tell the street in my music, the crazy life
(The crazy life, the crazy life)
I ran into her by chance
We were supposed to meet
We were supposed to see each other again
We were supposed to remember
I realized I had made it
When I rocked my son in the Maserati
We're at the top, the codes are hot
The block is caliente
There's my buddy calling me
He says: "Tonight we're going out"
Or we chill in front of the power supply, we write a gold single
I didn't want to hurt her
But between us, it's over
Sometimes, I tell her: "I love you"
Sometimes, I insult all her dead
I hadn't heard from you
Sometimes, I'm all alone
In the compressor
I smoke the weed that makes you cough
We're made for this
Put the beat on Bluetooth
Do the boussa
Discreet, I extend the file
I tell the street in my music, the crazy life
She doesn't know me at first, she says I'm a loser
Together, all new, and you cruise in a Testarossa
You lower the window, you connect it and she shows you her crazy side
I tell the street in my music, the crazy life
