Ich will Million ey, gib mir Million ey, mhhh

Ich will Million ey, gib mir Million ey
Ich will Million ey, gib mir Million ey
Ich kiff' Gras ja, spitte Lava
Ich geb' Gas ja, bis ins Grab ja
Ich will Million ey, gib mir Million ey
Ich will Million ey, gib mir Million ey
Ich kiff' Gras ja, spitte Lava
Ich geb' Gas ja, bis ins Grab ja

Und ich fahr' weit und ich fahr' weit
Kopf gefickt, Rockstardrip, vom Gras high
Und ich fahr' weit und ich fahr' weit
Kopf gefickt, Rockstardrip, vom Gras high
Ich hab' Krise wegen Wohnung โ€“ Cops, doch ich bin immer da ey
DrauรŸen nie am Block, ich brauche Schotter, ich tick' Gras ja
Krise wegen Wohnung โ€“ Cops, doch ich bin immer da ey
Siehst du, schepper' Line, vertrau' nur Gott, ja ich bleib stark ja

Hunnies zรคhl'n, (Hunnies zรคhl'n) ich will Hunnies zรคhl'n (Hunnies zรคhl'n)
Sag mir, wie willst du denn schieรŸen, wenn die Muni fehlt?
Ich will Hunnies zรคhl'n, (Hunnies zรคhl'n) ich will Hunnies zรคhl'n (Hunnies zรคhl'n)
Sag mir, wie willst du denn schieรŸen, wenn die Muni fehlt?

Ich will Million ey, gib mir Million ey
Ich will Million ey, gib mir Million ey
Ich kiff' Gras ja, spitte Lava
Ich geb' Gas ja, bis ins Grab ja
Ich will Million ey, gib mir Million ey
Ich will Million ey, gib mir Million ey
Ich kiff' Gras ja, spitte Lava
Ich geb' Gas ja, bis ins Grab ja

Meine Ma weint, deine Ma weint
Du willst Gold geh'n Kid und Ott vertickt fรผr paar Nikes
Hab' keine Wahl, nein, keine Wahl, nein
Du willst Gold geh'n Kid und Ott vertickt fรผr paar Nikes
Ja das Leben, das ich lebe, das kannst du nicht verstehen
Und immer wenn du weinst flieรŸen blutige Trรคnen
Bin leider viel zu oft in die falsche Richtung geschwomm'n
Hab' dieses Leben so gewollt und hab' die Quittung bekomm'n

Hunnies zรคhl'n, (Hunnies zรคhl'n) ich will Hunnies zรคhl'n (Hunnies zรคhl'n)
Sag mir, wie willst du denn schieรŸen, wenn die Muni fehlt?
Ich will Hunnies zรคhl'n, (Hunnies zรคhl'n) ich will Hunnies zรคhl'n (Hunnies zรคhl'n)
Sag mir, wie willst du denn schieรŸen, wenn die Muni fehlt?

Sky ist Minimum ey, sky ist Minimum ey
Sky ist Minimum ey, sky ist Minimum ey
Ich kiff' Gras ja, spitte Lava
Ich geb' Gas ja, bis ins Grab ja
Ich will Million ey, gib mir Million ey
Ich will Million ey, gib mir Million ey




Ich kiff' Gras ja, spitte Lava
Ich geb' Gas ja, bis ins Grab ja

andreas johansson

Can beautiful funk music be a genre? Like spiritual funk or something? This kind of stuff is impossible to hate

Braden Saba

andreas johansson couldnโ€™t agree more. Has the same effect for me as post-rock but better honestly

Fantasticaneer

Reminds me of Jacob Collier's stuff. Listen to Hajanga and In My Hideaway if you haven't heard them.

Azlan Downie

Post Funk then?
