Staying straight got me so strung out

Being sure just put me in doubt
Yang pasti hanya membuatku ragu
Your teaching really made me dumb
Ajaranmu benar-benar membuatku bodoh
Don't call me slacker 'cuz I am a bum!

Tidak bisa keluar tapi aku bisa menahan panasnya
Smokin' cigarettes 'til I choke
Asap rokok ‘sampai aku tersedak
Cuz I was born baby born to be broke
Cuz aku terlahir lahir terlahir bangkrut
