Beautiful car!! congrats
"I don't want to hear it
All you do is talk about you
I don't want to hear it
'Cause I know that none of it's true
I don't want to hear it
Sick and tired of all your lies
I don't want to hear it
When are you gonna realize...
THAT I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT
KNOW THAT YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT"
