Lyrics
[Intro: Bladee]
Oh, how long have I been in this grave?
It's a blessed day but you keep me awake
It’s not a nice way and I am ashamed
Didn't I say don't care either way
If it's a nice day, I don't care anyway
If its a bad day, or a really nice day
I'm under your spell
And this is my cell, I know it too well
Familiar hell
[Verse 1: Ecco2k]
You won't believe what they say about us, bad PR
Bad chemistry between the 9 and three-star
Only real fanatics know, TL;DR (Yeah)
In the ER at the hotel, two keycards
GTB, they still wanna hear GT-R
Black Discharge top, G-star raws
Sing "Peroxide" on the stage in B-Sharp (At the bus stop)
Black windows on the strip, black Dodgе Charge
Only real fanatics know, TL;DR
They still wanna hеar GT-R
And we still got bad PR
But GTB is up, all-star
[Bridge: Thaiboy Digital]
They don't know, they don't know, they don't
I'm in a lot of fucking stress, but they don't know (No they don't)
They don't know, they don't know, they don't
They don't know, they don't know, they don't
Champagne raining, champagne raining everywhere I go
Diamonds raining, diamonds raining everywhere I go
They don't know, they don't know, they don't
Bank account on stacks and a Range Rove
[Verse 2: Bladee]
On a nice day, rep the 9
In New York or Dubai
On the sick star, six sides
Let the sick star shine
On the low, keep your eyes on the prize
On the shores our horizons will rise
Make the goal, never go offside
Keep it cool on the rise until..
[Refrain: Bladee]
This, this, this, this, this distance
This, this, this, this, this cold embrace
This, this, this, this, this sunshine
This sunshine stopped by pollution, cold embrace
This, this, this, this, this distance
This, this, this, this, this cold embrace
This, this, this, this, this sunshine
This sunshine stopped by pollution, cold embrace
