[English]

[Music]

They say it's better to keep quiet

To be honest, I haven't trusted the things

that one day they've

told me, I want to go on a

wild ride, totally crazy, I don't know what will happen, I

live life the way I

want

Money to live life hard, whatever it

takes, I'll pay the price, we drive

with the right

connections, I have the key to be

on top, the girls bless me, baby, 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 fail, but they can't touch me

[Music]

I come lit, that's how I keep it going

The mark doesn't fade, and I haven't changed for some

girl

Partying, women

show up, I stay out until dawn, just for a bit

I light up a joint and I

get lost, they say what I do is expensive, but I pay

And honestly, I'm not afraid, but what I do is,

I'm right here, waiting

[Music]

To live life hard, whatever it takes, I'll pay

the price, we drive with very good

connections, I have the key to be

on top, the girls bless me, baby, it's not my

fault that they

prefer me, I want to go on a

wild ride, totally crazy, I don't know what will happen, I

live life the way I want
