[English]

[Music]

They say it's better to stay

quiet, to be honest, I haven't trusted the

things that one day have

[Music]

I want to get high, acting totally wild

I don't know what happens to me, I live how I

want, to go all out, whatever it

takes, I'll break the bank, we drive very well

the

keys, I've got the key to go all

out, the girls, they

it's not my fault that they

prefer me, I'm out cruising, the highway

smells like pure good weed, they want to see me

bad, they can't handle me

[Music]

I come lighting up, that's how I

stay, the brand doesn't fade, and I haven't

changed for a

love, parties and women are what drive me

I stay up until dawn, I unwind for a bit, light a

joint, and they see me, I'm on a roll

Whatever I do, I pay dearly, and the truth

is I'm not afraid, what I am is right here

waiting

to go all out, whatever it

takes, I'll break the bank, we drive very

well,

the keys, I've got the key to go all

out, the girls bless me, daddy, it's not my

fault that they prefer me

I want to get high, acting totally wild,

you already know, I live how I

want
