[English]

Let's just sit back and do nothing at all

Let's just smoke to the good life

Can we sit back and do nothing at all?

Can we smoke to the good life?

I love this new wave that we on right now

Can we vibe, can we vibe

I love this new wave that we on right now

Can we vibe, can we vibe

I love this new wave that we on right now

Can we vibe, can we vibe

I love this new wave that we on right now

Can we vibe, can we vibe

And we smoooke (and we smoooke)

So let's blaze (do that thang)

And we toast (and we toast)

To that drank (to that drank)

We take shots (we take shots)

We true Kings (Lebron James)

We don't care (we don't care)

What you think (what you think)

I'm on a wave, where I'm gonna stay (I'm gonna stay)

So can you stop fuckin' with me (stop fuckin' with me)

I'm on a wave, where I'm gonna stay (I'm gonna stay)

So can you stop fuckin' with me (stop fuckin' with me)

Little Layzie feelin' all so wavy

Mind on my business as I ride for this daily

I ain't got time to recline that don't pay me

I feel my mind is a grind for my babies

Roll it up, smoke it up

You can feel it as I hit it like I rip it from the bong

Never trippin' on my zone

When I'm dippin' on my chrome

Represents the Bone strong all life loooong

Gimme the time, I can plot a new come up

One of a kind, you can watch but don't run up

Know I'm gon' shine just like the sun come up

No regrets, no apologies

Living through my melodyologies

Corner the market like a Monopoly

Give me a break with your hipocracy

And we smoooke (and we smoooke)

So let's blaze (do that thang)

And we toast (and we toast)

To that drank (to that drank)

We take shots (we take shots)

We true Kings (Lebron James)

We don't care (we don't care)

What you think (what you think)

I'm on a wave where I'm gonna stay (I'm gonna stay)

So can you stop fuckin' with me (stop fuckin' with me)

I'm on a wave where I'm gonna stay (I'm gonna stay)

So can you stop fuckin' with me (stop fuckin' with me)

All for the ones that I ride for

Ones that I act for

One moment and I gotta go back ya'll

I could be any King again but it's one I got there waiting at the back door

Pack all your dough, roll with Bone

And it's on it's on

Where they click that chrome

And we go, we are, we home

Smokin' smokin' smokin' ready for the war when the war break open

For the moment frozen, zonin', car full of ecstasy, we rollin'

Henny and coke and I'm cloakin', coasting, toast to the ocean, locomotion

Hopin' this marijuana gets me through all the culture vultures

I'm so high, I'm so high

Puff with my day one thugs

It's alright, get your high

Fuck it, all the way up

I'm leanin and leanin

My high to the ceiling

I'm so gone, its too strong, what?

Nigga that's Bone

I'm in a wave where I'm gonna stay (I'm gonna stay)

So can you stop fuckin' with me (stop fuckin' with me)

I'm in a wave where I'm gonna stay (I'm gonna stay)

So can you stop fuckin' with me (stop fuckin' with me)

Since ya'll wanna have us a party

Then go ahead and pass that drink around

Here's some Henn, and you can have you some Bacardi

Tell them hoes over there, man it's going down

Tell the thots get their high tails over here now

They with it, we with it, let's get it, don't hold on

Pour me some drank up

Baby roll me some dank up

Hurry up and let's smoke up

I'm on a wave where I'm gonna stay (I'm gonna stay)

So can you stop fuckin' with me (stop fuckin' with me)

I'm on a wave where I'm gonna stay (I'm gonna stay)

So can you stop fuckin' with me (stop fuckin' with me)
