Bad Bunny 02:34
Bad bunny, better let your own life get in the way You can't be a bunny if you don't want to You can't be funny if you can't be a fake You can't be sunny without darkness And fire in your wake You can't be a honey if you're never an egg And you can't be runny if you never get up You can't get money if it's always being hoarded And you can't use less 'cuz it's never enough You can't be a bunny if you don't like it And you can't be a rabbit if you never get fucked You can't get money if you never run for it And you can't be funny if you never get bombed/bummed Bad bunny, better let your own life get in the way

We'd play for you every night, if we could And we recognize your human rights, like we should But The Plodes don't love you back We're not going to pretend That we want to be your friends The Plodes don't love you back We've got no self-respect You've got no intellect At this point, we cash the cheque You're a pain in our collective neck We're in those magazines For white perpetual teens The Plodes don't love you back We're still independent But we have to pay our rent So buy these skateboard shoes That we don't even use We've got no self-respect You've got no intellect At this point, we cash the cheque You're a pain in our collective neck Trust us, we're young and pissed And we're still anarchists Just call our publicist She can pretend you don't exist When I was young 2 years ago, I believed in stuff as well But not we're Plodes Incorporated and we can't afford to play your basement So good night, everyone Don't have too much fun We'll exit out the back The Plodes don't love you back I'm sorry you're underage Please don't rush the stage I'm trying not to care I've decided life's not fair The Plodes don't love you back The Plodes don't have your back The Plodes will not come back We're just giving you the facts We'd play for you every night, if we could And we recognize your human rights, like we should But The Plodes don't love you back
