[English]

My friend showed me pictures of his kids

And all I could show him was pictures of my cribs

He said his daughter got a brand-new report card

And all I got was a brand new sports car, uh

And my head keeps spinning

Can't stop having these visions, I gotta get wit' it

Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh, ooh-ooh

And my head keeps spinning

I can't stop having these visions, I gotta get wit' it

Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh, ooh-ooh

Dad cracked a joke all the kids laughed

But I couldn't hear 'em all the way in first class

Chased the good life my whole life long

Look back on my life and my life gone

Where did I go wrong?

And my head keeps spinning

Can't stop having these visions, I gotta get wit' it

Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh, ooh-ooh

And my head keeps spinning

I can't stop having these visions I gotta get wit' it

Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh, ooh-ooh

I seen it, I seen it before

I seen it, I seen it before

I seen it, I seen it before

I seen it, I seen it before

My godsister getting married by the lake

But I couldn't figure out who I wanna take

Bad enough that I showed up late

I had to leave 'fore they even cut the cake

Welcome to heartbreak

And my head keeps spinning

Can't stop having these visions, I gotta get wit' it

Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh, ooh-ooh

And my head keeps spinning

I can't keep having these visions, I gotta get wit' it

Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-hoo

Ooh, ooh-hoo

Ooh, ooh-hoo

And I, and I can't stop

No, no, I can't stop

No, no, no, no, I can't stop

No, no, no, no, I can't stop

I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop

No, no, no, no

No, no, no, no

No, no, no, no, whoa, whoa

No, no, I can't stop

Can't stop having these visions

I gotta get with it

Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh, ooh-ooh

Hoo-hoo, mmh

Ooh-hoo, hoo
