Lyrics and translation
Original
Ooh, goin' out a lot
Livin' this lie, yeah, livin' in a lie
Like it's all I got
Like it's all I got
Oh, Louis 13 Baccarat
Boy, I live in a lie
Boy, I livin' this lie like it's all I got (Yeah)
Like it's all I got
Ayy, bartender, send another shot
Boy, I live in a lie
Yeah, I livin' this lie like it's all I got (Ah)
Like it's all I got (Ey, ey)
Ey, alles hat ein Ende
Die Zeit steht still mit der Acht um die Handgelenke
Ich geh' baden in dein'n Augen, wenn du weinst
Auch wenn ich schlecht für dich bin, geb' ich mein Bestes
Ich reich' jedem die Hand, doch nur auf Armlänge
Ihr Messer hat kein Ziel, wenn ich nicht da wäre
Wie viele sind zu früh von uns gegang'n?
Doch jeder würd dasselbe sagen, wenn er noch ein'n Tag hätte
Stattdessen häng'n wir fünf Uhr morgens noch am Block rum
Trinken ist haram, aber gib ma' noch ein'n Shot, Jungs
Bist du frei von Sünde, wirf den ersten Stein
Wenn nicht, lass es sein, denn für uns alle gibt's noch Hoffnung
Oh, Louis 13 Baccarat
Boy, I live in a lie
Boy, I livin' this lie like it's all I got (Yeah)
Like it's all I got
Ayy, bartender, send another shot
Boy, I live in a lie
Yeah, I livin' this lie like it's all I got (Ah)
Like it's all I got
Sieh mich an, du denkst, ich fliege, doch ich falle in ein Loch
Ich könnte heul'n, doch ich lache immer noch
Mein Sohn fragt Mama, wann sein Papa wiederkommt
Doch ich saß besoffen mit 'ner Knarre an mei'm Kopf
Es braucht Mut, um zu sagen: "Ich könnt wein'n"
Und noch mehr, um zu sagen: "Lass mich nicht allein"
Sie brechen alles, aber niemals meinen Willen
Alles, was ich sagte, war auch so gemeint
Im Sterbebett hat noch niemand nach sei'm Geld gefragt
Jedes Problem, was ich hatte, hab' ich selbst gemacht
Wie oft war es schon das letzte Mal?
Ein ganzes Leben misst man niemals an 'nem schlechten Tag
Oh, Louis 13 Baccarat
Boy, I live in a lie
Boy, I livin' this lie like it's all I got (Yeah)
Like it's all I got
Ayy, bartender, send another shot
Boy, I live in a lie
Yeah, I livin' this lie like it's all I got (Ah)
Like it's all I got

Hey, everything has an end
Time stands still with the figure eight around your wrists
I'll bathe in your eyes when you cry
Even if I'm bad for you, I'll do my best
I shake hands with everyone, but only at arm's length
Your knife has no target if I weren't there
How many of us left too soon?
But everyone would say the same thing if they had another day
Instead we're still hanging out on the block at five in the morning
Drinking is haram, but give me another shot, boys
If you are free from sin, cast the first stone
If not, let it be, because there is still hope for all of us
Oh, Louis 13 baccarat
Boy, I live in a lie
Boy, I livin' this lie like it's all I got (Yeah)
Like it's all I got
Ayy, bartender, send another shot
Boy, I live in a lie
Yeah, I livin' this lie like it's all I got (Ah)
Like it's all I got
Look at me, you think I'm flying, but I'm falling into a hole
I could cry, but I'm still laughing
My son asks mom when his dad is coming back
But I was sitting drunk with a gun to my head
It takes courage to say: "I can cry"
And even more to say: "Don't leave me alone"
They break everything, but never my will
Everything I said was meant
Nobody ever asked for his money on his deathbed
Every problem I had, I made myself
How many times has it been the last time?
You can never measure a whole life by one bad day
Oh, Louis 13 baccarat
Boy, I live in a lie
Boy, I livin' this lie like it's all I got (Yeah)
Like it's all I got
Ayy, bartender, send another shot
Boy, I live in a lie
Yeah, I livin' this lie like it's all I got (Ah)
Like it's all I got
