Культовый коллектив , который образовался в 1998 году в Кишинёве.
С 2000 года коллектив базируется в Москве. За 13 лет существования группа не выпустила ни одного студийного альбома, объясняя это тем что Концертную энергетику невозможно передать в записи. И наверное в этом есть доля правды, те кто бывал на концертах группы W.K.? не дадут соврать. Публика на концертах тоже часть концертного действа. Каждый трек звучит , каждый раз по разному.
И один концерт не похож на другой. И всё это отличительная черта W.K.?
И вот спустя 13 лет группа выпускает свой дебютный альбом под название "13лет59мин"
Как говорит Шум вокалист группы задача ставилась максимально приблизить звучание к концертному , не вылизать его в студии до блеска а именно что сохранить.
- Всему своё время и видать время для этого альбома настало, в следующем году выпустим второй альбом ))))
В общем можно много писать и о том что в группе Играют музыканты , Земфиры, Маши и Медведи, Маркшейдер Кунст, Guru Groove Foundation, Dusbtepler , Детский панадолл и что Шум (вокал) рассказал когда то всем о группе 5NIZZA и Нино Катамадзе и о фестивале ВДОх можно было бы упомянуть, но зачем ?

W.K.? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I Mean it ain't
Like I forgot but
It's like I wasn't thinking about it man
Now that you
Want to talk about it
Got me all watery in the eyes ya know
But uh
I wanna tell y'all three man
I love y'all like y'all love me
But if y'all know what I am talking about
Fizz holler at ya' boy
For the first three yrs
We was on coat fax
No deals no money
But everybody had our back
We know it would happen and that's for a fact
Until then we were just watching Cosbys in the laundry mat
Scrounging up change for a pizza guy
No ride to Roscoe's
We made our own sunrise
Getting sick off cheetos
Skittles and benekos
Mark yelling cause we eat his last tacito
Wishing for a bank account with at least to zeros
Playing ball all day
Sharing one Gatorade
No dogs of our own
So we walked Bear and Jane
Playing B-B bridges
Hopping over gates
Just to go swimming
Yeah we was bad
Trying to holler at all the women, huh
Man
Times where hard
You know we didn't get to much
But we always had each other man that was enough
[Chorus: x2]
We been through thick and thin
But we still here
No matter what goes down
Were still friends til the end
Ups and downs
Yeah that's a hard-knock life
Yeah its ride or die
Cause we are boys for life
Ya heard
It's getting hard now
What are we to do now
Years are passing
Its time to make moves now
We got our act together
Faced the bad weather
Told ourselves it was either now or never
So we grabbed our stuff and
Started shopping at labels
Perform demos and did whatever it takes
Damn every label slammed the door in our face
But we kept our heads up until we found the right place
[Chorus: x2]
We been through thick and thin
But we still here
No matter what goes down
Were still friends til the end
Ups and downs
Yeah that's a hard-knock life
Yeah its ride or die
Cause we are boys for life
Ya heard
We found a home now
It's on
We in the game now
Chris and Max done made this thing crack now
Now we work with Tommy and Polly with Dee Mack now
Took us a while but we got a name now
A platinum album with dough up in the bank now
No more lounging around, we businessmen now
Epic helped us and put us in the right gear
Video and radio thanks for the great year
I'm glad the time that it took was a struggle
So that when this time came we would be grateful and humble
We thank God for making all this happen for us
We thank all our fans for having love in us
Come on
[Chorus: x2]
We been through thick and thin
But we still here
No matter what goes down
Were still friends til the end
Ups and downs
Yeah that's a hard-knock life
Yeah its ride or die
Cause we boys for life
Ya heard
[Repeat: x3]
I know that your watching over me
Thank God that you brought the joy to me
Yeah I'm ya boy
We all boys
Yo but we ain't gotta worry about
That no more
I mean we here now
All y'all who slammed the doors
In our face, said we wasn't goin' to make it
We couldn't sing, we couldn't
Do this, we couldn't sell records,
We couldn't have our hits on the radio
This one for y'all I mean we ain't mad
I'm sorry we couldn't be friends
Have a relationship, but we home now
We love you Chris, IMX, we love y'all
T-Scott we love you, Taz we love you
Tug, need a S, TG4, Jhene
I Love you Raz, I love you Fizz
(Raz B)
Ooh, I'm tight
(J Boog)
Let's clap
For life baby
The song Outro by W.K. is a tribute to the friendship between the members of the boyband B2K. The lyrics describe the difficult times they went through before their success: three years without a record deal, no money, and watching The Cosby Show at the laundromat. They recall walking their dogs Bear and Jane, playing basketball all day, and trying to pick up girls. The chorus celebrates their unbreakable bond as friends until the end, through thick and thin, ups and downs. The second verse tells the story of their rise to fame, shopping at record labels, performing demos, and getting rejected until they found the right place with Epic Records. They thank God, their fans, and their mentors for making it happen and being grateful and humble. The song ends with a shout-out to all their friends in the music industry and a message of love and respect.
