Lyrics

New Best Thing

[Verse 1]

Dressed smart, fancy clothes

White-ringed, roman nose

Looks good I suppose

Not a jealous guy

Never reaching high

But still wondering why

I'm

[Pre-Chorus]

Thinkin' bout the big win, big win, big win

Talkin' bout the new sin, new sin, new sin

Tryin'a be the best thing, best thing, new best thing

Since

Thinkin' bout the sliced bread, sliced bread, sliced bread

Talkin' bout my street cred, street cred, street cred

Tryin'a avoid a big head, big head, new best thing

Since

[Chorus]

How high? Don't jump

How high? Don't jump

How high? Don't jump

How high? Don't jump

How high? Don't jump

How high? Don't jump

[Verse 2]

Dressed shit, hunchback pose

Crackеd tooth, drinks at home

White ring round the nosе

Condescending much?

At least out of touch

Only difference: luck

I'm

[Pre-Chorus]

Thinkin' bout the big win, big win, big win

Talkin' bout the new sin, new sin, new sin

Tryin'a be the best thing, best thing, new best thing

Since

Thinkin' bout the sliced bread, sliced bread, sliced bread

Talkin' bout my street cred, street cred, street cred

Tryin'a avoid a big head, big head, new best thing

Since

[Pre-Chorus]

Thinkin' bout the big win, big win, big win

Talkin' bout the new sin, new sin, new sin

Tryin'a be the best thing, best thing, new best thing

Since

Thinkin' bout the sliced bread, sliced bread, sliced bread

Talkin' bout my street cred, street cred, street cred

Tryin'a avoid a big head, big head, new best thing

Since

[Chorus]

How high? Don't jump

How high? Don't jump

How high? Don't jump

How high? Don't jump

How high? Don't jump

How high? Don't jump
