[English]

Yeah

That's perfect.

Feelin' better than I ever felt.

Feelin' better than I ever felt, why thank you.

Feelin' better than I ever felt.

Feelin' better than I ever felt.

Meanwhile these dead presidents keep coming, I'ma stack this.

Wanna play for the big leagues, keep practice.

Live the lifestyle, wife a model or an actress.

Oh, I'm so damn good at this.

Money straight like the way I drink bourbon.

It's snowing like me, stop searching.

You could go and bet the house on it, I'm a sure thing.

You been working for a while, something's not working.

Wait for me to fail then you got the wrong person.

I am not an Earthling, aliens birthed him.

Crazy and disturbing, belonging in an insane asylum.

Jails going crazy while in, but who cares, his paper's piling.

I go vacation on my favorite island, take a Valium.

Kidnap Hit-Boy and lock him up and make an album.

Could make a hundred new songs, fuck it, make a thousand.

Never drop it, fuck the world, I'd be straight without them.

Listen, cuz low-key like two octaves down.

Somewhere along the road, became a monster now.

Toured the world and I brought the town.

We eating plenty food over here and we got lots around.

I am, feeling better than I ever felt.

Feeling better than I ever felt, why thank you.

Feeling better than I ever felt.

Feeling better than I ever felt.

Meanwhile these dead presidents keep coming, I'ma stack this.

Wanna play for the big leagues, keep practice.

Live the lifestyle, wife a model or an actress.

Oh, I'm so damn good at this.

At 15 I was on a struggle bus.

25 on another bus with a couple sluts.

Whole team good, now it's nothing that could trouble us.

Rolling up extendos, blunts like the double dutch.

Nobody can fuck with us, you be quick to fail.

The game's not for everybody, pick a different trail.

They wanna talk business with, I'm checking my avail.

Whole tour sold out, there's not a ticket left for sale.

We came a long way from 50 people at the shows.

Can crash a show at fashion week, models getting chose.

My table's full of bros, you got a table full of bros.

Damn, ain't no you was one of those.

You might resemble clowns if you ever try stepping in his shoes.

So show respect, something you should definitely do.

It's no surprise I'm on, I got a bedroom with a view.

I'm just saying this is everything we said that we would do.

I am, feeling better than I ever felt.

Feeling better than I ever felt, why thank you.

Feeling better than I ever felt.

Feeling better than I ever felt.

Meanwhile these dead presidents keep coming, I'ma stack this.

Wanna play for the big leagues, keep practice.

Live the lifestyle, wife a model or an actress.

Oh, I'm so damn good at this.
