KOHH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
目の前にお金が無くても幸せな事がいっぱい
あるから大丈夫 色んな事もっとしたい
大金持ちでも心の中が貧乏じゃ意味無い
わざわざ見栄張って値段が高いルイ グッチ ヴェルサーチ
本当に必要な物以外全く必要じゃない
何かあったら周りのいい友達が助けてくれたり
ありがとう ごめんなさい
みんな言う お金よりも愛
だから貧乏なんて気にしない
何もないところからここまで来たのも自分次第
でも周りの人達がいなけりゃ俺もここにいない
昔からよく言ってるお金よりも愛
分からない
とりあえず俺は貧乏なんて気にしない
貧乏なんて気にしない
やっぱり将来は高級車にも乗りたい
真っ白なベントレーに乗っても初心忘れない
友達たくさん呼んで庭付きの家でハウスパーティ
嫌なこと考えるよりもお酒を飲んで酔っ払い
俺たちは貧乏な億万長者 笑ってる毎日
働いて稼いだ金を自由に使って
買いたい物を買ったら誰かにあげたい
貰ったらお返しをする ズルい損得はいらない
今でも最高なのにもっと超最高な未来
だから貧乏なんて気にしない
何もないところからここまで来たのも自分次第
でも周りの人達がいなけりゃ俺もここにいない
昔からよく言ってるお金よりも愛
分からない
とりあえず俺は貧乏なんて気にしない
貧乏なんて気にしない
Yeah
The song "Binbounantekinisinai" by KOHH talks about how he doesn't care about being poor because there are other things in life that bring him happiness. Even though he may not have money in front of him, he has many things to be grateful for, and he wants to try new things. He believes that even if you have a lot of money, you can still feel poor inside if you don't have the right mindset. KOHH believes that it's not necessary to show off expensive items like Louis Vuitton or Versace because they aren't needed for happiness. KOHH values the importance of having good friends who are there for you when something goes wrong, and actions speak louder than words. He mentions that love is more valuable than money, and it can bring you happiness instead of focusing on materialistic items.
Throughout the song, KOHH talks about how he wants to have a better life, but he doesn't want to forget where he came from. He wants to have a white Bentley and a house with a yard to throw house parties with his friends. He believes that instead of thinking about negative things, it's better to drink and forget about them. He believes that you don’t necessarily have to be rich to be happy, but rather make the most of what you have. He wants to be a rich person who is content with his life and can enjoy it with a smile on his face. KOHH understands that his success is based on his own decisions, but also acknowledges that he wouldn't be where he is today without the support of his friends.
Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of happiness and enjoying life, regardless of financial status. KOHH values love and friendship over materialistic possessions and wants to live a life where he can be happy and content.

We are poor millionaires who laugh every day, use the money we earn from work freely, buy what we want, give it to someone if we want to, and return the favor if we receive something. We don't need unfair gains and losses. Our present is already great, but we want an even greater future
