Name : Davina Shafa Felisya

Class : 2A BIKBP (4)
Bun, hidup berjalan seperti bajingan
Seperti landak yang tak punya teman
Ia menggonggong bak suara hujan
Dan kau pangeranku, mengambil peran
Bun, kalau saat hancur ku disayang
Apalagi saat ku jadi juara
Saat tak tahu arah kau di sana
Menjadi gagah saat ku tak bisa
Sedikit ku jelaskan tentangku dan kamu
Agar seisi dunia tahu
Keras kepalaku sama denganmu
Caraku marah, caraku tersenyum
Seperti detak jantung yang bertaut
Nyawaku nyala karena denganmu
Mom, life goes like a bastard
Like a hedgehog who has no friends
He barks like the sound of rain
And you my prince, take the role
Mom, when I'm broken, I'll be loved
Especially when I become champion
When you don't know where you are going
there
Be brave when I can't be
Let me explain a little about me and you
So that the whole world knows
I'm as stubborn as you
The way I get angry, the way I smile
Like linked heartbeats
My life lights up because of you
