Here is “I Am A Mess,” Lyrics Translation by Omah Lay
Intro
It is what it is
Oh yeah
Niphkeys
Niphkeys
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Verse 1
Sometimes I’m happy, sometimes I’m sad
I don’t know what’s over me
Sometimes I’m good, sometimes I’m wild
I don’t know what’s over me
Chorus
I don’t know what’s over me
I’m over thinking everything
At times it feels like nobody
Can understand the way I feel
Cause I’m fvcked up totally
I don’t know how to keep company
So I’ve been drinking cognac
I’ve been drinking too many shots of cognac
Post chorus
One for the belly another for the broken heart
Three for addiction, four so I don’t go back
Looking for somebody who can watch my shoulders
So, I can never be sober
I can never be so so oh oh
I can never be so oh oh
Verse 2
Oh oh
Yes I did it
How many million I make for a living
Wear my Louis Vuitton
Post for a pic
Let the camera light hit my teeth
You know
Nobody is better than me
Nobody is better than me
I do it differently
Everybody can see
Chorus
But I don’t know what’s over me
I’m over thinking everything
At times it feels like nobody
Can understand the way I feel
Cause I am fvcked up totally
I don’t know how to keep company
So I’ve been drinking cognac
I’ve been drinking too many shots of cognac
Post chorus
One for the belly another for the broken heart
Three for addiction, four so I don’t go back
Looking for somebody who can watch my shoulders
So, I can never be sober
Outro
I can never be sober
Niphkeys
