Truman (English Translation) Lyrics

[Intro: FELIX, HAN]
I sketch visions of my future
But sometimes the wrong shades slip in the picture
Feel like a failure, a loser
But oh, my God, reminds me, I’m human
Head high, I keep on moving living real, like Truman, I’m the true man
We’re all same, no difference
Fail, fear, bad days make me more different, I born freak
This is my own movement
We don’t care, ’cause we are blessed

[Pre-Chorus: FELIX]
I don’t play, you know, we keep it hundred
Cop coppin’ all that shit whenever I want it (Ooh, ooh)
It’s that, it’s that beast mode as Rengar calls it
Got trophies in the bag ’cause of STAY, we lock in
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus: FELIX]
Ride a Benz, raise my hands, salute fans
Gas is running, hit the pedal, we going fast
We so advanced, we the first and the last
We so advanced, we the first and the last

[Verse 1: FELIX]
Woke up 5AM tryna catch a plane, we don’t waste time
Since I was a kid, young ambitions got me out of school
No more following orders, now I make my own rules
Still got that fire bright and shining like a jewel (Yeah)
This is our crew, (Okay) we’ll show what’s new (What’s new?)
We got the juice, (Woo) we got the moves (Yeah, yeah)
Let’s groove tonight, alright
Got LV shoes, you wouldn’t know what I’m about (Let’s go, ayy)
Working our way up, we go
Cooking up races, I know that we taking our time like Charles Leclerc
I masticate all of my enemies
Call me Pac-Man, I eat up the road
I’ll finish you like I eat the last chip in the bag
Like you got nothing to show, that’s how I roll

[Pre-Chorus: HAN, HAN & FELIX]
I don’t play, you know, we keep it hundred
Cop coppin’ all that shit whenever I want it
It’s that, it’s that beast mode as Rengar calls it
Got trophies in the bag ’cause of STAY, we lock in
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus: HAN & FELIX]
Ride a Benz, raise my hands, salute fans
Gas is running, hit the pedal, we going fast
We so advanced, we the first and the last
We so advanced, we the first and the last

[Verse 2: HAN]
