Smoke Up lyrics – Vannda
I smoke all my pain away
None of that sh*t ធ្វើឱ្យខ្ញុំឈឺ
Fresh out of Dior Store today
I smoke all my pain away
ទៅជាផេះហើរចូលទន្លេ
None of that sh*t ធ្វើឱ្យខ្ញុំឈឺ
I’m fresh out of Dior store today
លុយព្យាបាល
ពេលដែលឈឺក្បាល
ទិញក្តីសុខរាប់ជាកំផ្លេ
Money and fame
ចាយលេងៗព្រោះធ្លាប់ជាក្មេងដែលដៃទទេរ
អារម្មណ៍អត់ល្អខ្ញុំទៅ shop at the mall
ជះលុយទិញ Prada ដាក់កាដូរឱ្យ my mama
អត់មាន bad vibe ចេញដើរតាមខេត្ត
Memory ដូចកាសែតដៃកំពុងតែខា
ដៃកំពុងតែលូក អ៊ូ ដៃកំពុងតែបា
ហុតគ្រូកៗ លូកចាប់ម្ហូបអាហារ
បោកដូចកូនជ្រូក ក្រដាស ១០០ ក្រដាស ៥០
ជីវិតអ្នកនឹងធូ បើសិនអ្នកខំធ្វើការ
ប្រសិនជាខំហើយ នៅតែ fail ទៀត
គេមើលមកអ្នកដូចជា idiot
តែកុំចាញ់ប្រៀប ពួកនឹងនាំសម្ពាធ
ពួកហ្នឹងចង់កាច់អ្នក តែវាអស់ស្នៀត
ពួកហ្នឹងចង់ពឹងពាក់ តែវាលែងកៀនក្លៀក
ធ្វើឱ្យខ្ញុំភ្ញាក់ តាំងចិត្តមកវិភាគ
ថានរណាមកចង់កៀក ងាយស្រួលខ្ញុំបើកត្រចៀក
នៅពេលដែលខ្ញុំ smoke ហើយខ្ញុំគិតរឿងពីមុន
ដើរចូលប្រឡូក ជ្រកនៅក្នុងពិភពគុន
You think that I am broke
ព្រោះអ្នកម៉ៃខ្ញុំទុកមុន
ពួកនេះចង់សុខ តែវាអែបនៅគែមៗ
B*tch I’m the boss
រលាយដូច ការ៉េម
I smoke all the pain
My life is insane
I want it more ព្រោះខ្ញុំមានត្រីវិស័យ
(I want it more ព្រោះខ្ញុំមានត្រីវិស័យ)
មានទាំងសុបិន្ត ហើយខ្ញុំមានក្ដីស្រម៉ៃ
(មានទាំងសុបិន្ត ហើយខ្ញុំមានក្ដីស្រម៉ៃ)
Hop in the stu
ហើយខ្ញុំស្ទូងប្រាក់កម្រៃ
អ្នកខ្លះចេះតែថា ហើយអ្នកម៉ៃ ចេះតែម៉ៃ
Shout out to YOUNGOHM
Spitting bars មកពីថៃ ។
และกู smoke อยู่ที่กัมพูชา
อย่าเอาแต่โม้ มาตามให้ทันกูมา
มีแต่ความดีที่กูนิยมบูชา
กราบนมัสการครูบา
กูมาเพื่อสร้างและสรรค์
กูมีวิสัยทัศน์ที่มองทั้งหน้าและหลัง
ใครก็รู้ว่ากูบ้าฝัน
20 ล้านเงินสดกูซื้อบ้านทั้งหลัง
(YOUNGOHM is in the building!)
ma house has six floors
(But) when i was a kid, poor
You nothing but a dock tick,
don’t chu stop it, let that b*tch talk.
on the fifth floor
(I’m) burning cannabis, bro
All the respect is mine, and it ain’t never gonna be yours.
I smoke all my pain away
ទៅជាផេះហើរចូលទន្លេ
None of that sh*t ធ្វើឱ្យខ្ញុំឈឺ
I’m fresh out of Dior store today
លុយព្យាបាល
ពេលដែលឈឺក្បាល
ទិញក្តីសុខរាប់ជាកំផ្លេ
Money and fame
ចាយលេងៗព្រោះធ្លាប់ជាក្មេងដែលដៃទទេរ
(I smoke all my pain away)
(ទៅជាផេះហើរចូលទន្លេ)
(None of that sh*t ធ្វើឱ្យខ្ញុំឈឺ)
(I’m fresh out of Dior store today)
(លុយព្យាបាល)
(ពេលដែលឈឺក្បាល)
(ទិញក្តីសុខរាប់ជាកំផ្លេ)
(Money and fame)
(ចាយលេងៗព្រោះធ្លាប់ជាក្មេងដែលដៃទទេរ)
Lose some sh*t, win some sh*t, smoke some sh*t
នេះគឺរឿងជីវិតដែលតម្រូវឱ្យអ្នក feel
អាក្រក់ ល្អ ស ខ្មៅ
គឺតម្រូវលើអ្នកទេ
ពេលដែលគិតយល់ហើយ
You can smoke your pain away
I’m gonna be fine
Gonna be
ទោះ
Lonely at the top
I’m gonna be fine (I’m gonna be fine)
Stand on businesses, stay on my grind
ធ្លាប់ឈឺចាប់រួចហើយ អ្នកមិនអាចនឹងបំផ្លាញ
(អ្នកមិនអាចនឹងបំផ្លាញ)
(Smoke all my pain away)
(All my pain away).
