Why Not
Futuristic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why not?
Yeah, I like that shit
Why not?
Why not?
Why not?
Why not?
All this money in my pocket got me
Yo, I copped 2 bottles and they vote for me
Niggas hating and I bag em' quick like groceries
Every track I make's a masterpiece, I make em say "uhh" like Master P
I see what niggas is doing, so fuck it I'm doing it better
They takin' what's hot, duplicate and drop it
They flow be the same but, they changing they letters
And then they got one line in one verse and one song that people remember, that's clever
And they go like this hold' up,"My bars so cold I wear one thousand sweaters"
House party at my nigga crib, I never let a side bitch find out where I live
I only fuck with fans, I need a dick rider
I pick her up then, drop her off like a hitchhiker

Why not?
Why not?
Why not?
Why not?
All this money in my pocket
Made me feel like why not?
Why not
Why not?
Why not?
Why not?
I know can't nobody stop me
So I'm yelling why not?
Why not? (x28)

My middle finger up to let these niggas know
Your bitch sucking on me like a chicken bone
I hit that shit then do my happy dance
I'm killing all these rappers call an ambulance
No, really though, who is you kidding?
Them writtens is awfully shitty
It's 2014 you rap like Mase and Diddy
There's no marathon but I'm running my city
You can find me in the club just like Fifty
I'm rubbing her tittes, you not fucking with me
You trying to slang all these singers and models
My nigga I'm just trying to bang Oprah Winfrey
Play her my song I know she gon' love it
I hit her at her house, we call that homecomin'
Silk sheets, Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace
Fuck all that shit that you talking about
I'm never gonna join Illuminati

Why not?
Why not?
Why not?
Why not?
All this money in my pocket
Made me feel like why not?
Why not
Why not?
Why not?
Why not?
I know can't nobody stop me




So I'm yelling why not?
Why not? (x28)
