GALENA x V:RGO - AMNESIA | АМНЕЗИЯ

Пета издадена песен от предстоящия десети албум на V:RGO - “SAUCE KID 4”

Download & Stream: https://saucekids.bfan.link/amneziya


“Амнезия”

Да нямаш амнезия
Тя е моето bestie, а
Да няма последствия
Ляв прав, може и десния

Вайба - Валенсия
Аз съм Принца на Персия
Вадиме те от депресия
Кралицата влиза с махленския

Everybody on the flo’, все едно е J.Lo
Я дръж се малко, ве, брато - не си на село
И говорим за пари, да, за dinero
Кажи и на тях, кажи на нея и на него, че сме топ

24/7 сме нон-стоп без аналог
Мой любими, ти си бог и си ми роб
Мръсен трап, не е Travis Scott
Пак оставям ги без ток
Искаш нещо да ни кажеш, ма сме топ (x2)

К’во спане в сънищата ми е бедно
Не в лев, ще взимам кинтите си в евро
Мамиш се и правиш се не е честно
Да си толкоз нереална - знай не е полезно

Тежки филми, ама на сърцето ми е леко
Тя не иска рози, ма на мен ми е ергенско
Мязаш на ушак - изглеждаш полицейско
И не съм шестак, ма имам силно чувство шесто

Какво ти е нужно за най-мазната ти схема
Нищо повече от Вирго и Галена
Аре, бягай-бягай - къв ти е проблема
И вземи се стягай стягай, не ти лафя за корема

Топа на Европа
Аз съм твойта мания
Поздрави на попа
И на цялата компания

Някой чука, а някой тропа
Кой как си го направи, да
Майбаха пред блока -
Welcome to Bulgaria

Ей, како, много ми е яко
С тебе вдигаме ги горе т’ва е нащо лято
Той е крейзи - хахо, от София до Монако
Тука всичките сме хай, да и няма слабо

Ей, малкия, ти си бруталния
Да не би към каки да имаш носталгия
Специалния, хита тоталния
Да не би да мислиш, че не сме скандални, а

Няма тинтири-минтири - прайм го добре
Тука с тигрите и миглите - партито е леш
С министрите и миските тука сме днес
Виж ги, ве, виж ги те колко са fresh

Тинтири-минтири, нямаме кинти ли
Даже и да нямаме имаме принципи
Ако не вярвате питайте GPT
Ние сме готини - вие сте skibidi
