Lyrics

WHY NOT

[Текст песни «WHY NOT»]

[Припев]

Why not

Я хочу так слышать запах этих банкнот

Складывать себе в карман их или в блокнот

Опираться на машины новой капот

Но я снова кручу блант

Why not

Я хочу так слышать запах этих банкнот

Складывать себе в карман их или в блокнот

Опираться на машины новой капот

Но я снова кручу блант

[Куплет]

На моем балансе

Новые балансы

С кэшем я в балансе

Мама, я фрилансер

О-о-о, Balenciaga, Vans'ы

Я обожаю танцы

И когда колбасит без слов

Я затерян за терриконами

Но успех делим поровну

Молятся на иконы

Помои мне пишут в комменты

Те, кто в самоиронии

Недотёпы и ронины

Помни все свои корни

Ведь ты ментально уродина

Тебя так это веселит

Счастье из дома выселили

Мой стержень — это монолит

Пусть ноет, болит

Люди пластелин

А кого слепил ты

Будешь жалеть о поступках под крестом

Ну а пока не стёрся голеностоп

Запись не ставь на стоп

И дальше мути хип-хоп

[Припев]

Why not

Я хочу так слышать запах этих банкнот

Складывать себе в карман их или в блокнот

Опираться на машины новой капот

Но я снова кручу блант

Why not

Я хочу так слышать запах этих банкнот

Складывать себе в карман их или в блокнот

Опираться на машины новой капот

Но я снова кручу блант
