Вертолёт [Vertoljot] [English translation]

[Announcement in background in music video]

...a Mi-2 helicopter crashed, during which it caught fire.

The crash happened 3km from the nearest town near an airfield.

According to preliminary data, there was one pilot on board...

...no survivors were found.

[Song]

When chasing after a record you don't think about speed.

And so the blades of the helicopter on the ground fight to take off.

Remnants of the catastrophe are spread out along the ground.

And I stand alone up against the edge of a bottomless abyss.

On the other side of the cliff teeth grin,

as if rotten meat was thrown on an anthill.

They don't have much room, it's crowded on the edge,

but cameras carefully polish over [the truth] .

Honestly, they don't give a damn if it's a hero or coward.

They need a report on a catastrophe with a celebrity.

"Why did they do that?"

People will make a fuss.

Everything in life goes by, they'll make a bit of noise and it'll pass.

I saw Death and took his hood off.

And in that same month I made my first million.

I brought it home and have half to my love.

But in the end I got a knife in my back from her.

I was in the hospital and couldn't walk.

So she decided to break up.

She constantly needed more, can I blame her?

The best thing to do is to understand and forgive.

Money hasn't made me happy.

It's made my garage nicer.

[official] license plates**, [official] badges**, I don't drink, but thanks.

I know all these job titles, but they don't actually matter.

What actually matters are the people who stand by you.

Even if you fell and lost the battle.

They'll be on their knees, on the bare asphalt,

and they'll only say to you, "I'm happy to be alive".

Plan B, enough, bow lower,

I still carry your letters in my pockets to this day.

Everything seems like yesterday even though years have past.

Kutuzovski, Moscow, New York, the Statue of Liberty.

Bigger bets, higher risk, lower cars, cooler music tracks.

Higher seams, Forbes lists, many loyal people,

less people close to you.

Wearing a hood, skateboard, kick-flip, like going back to when we were kids.

Fear about the future, dreams about careers.

Certifications, diploma, valedictorian.

A deep breath, I checked the mic,

and I rocked the hall like no one would believe.

And I still pray I will be saved and go to heaven,

and that my hopes will come true.

I still pray that my life isn't cut short.

Rest in peace, Ratmir, rest in peace DJ Dlee.

Nothing under the sun lasts forever, payback comes for everything.

I used to do whatever it took for the outcome I wanted.

The priority is victory, not money.

To raise myself up, and not fall in the eyes of my youngest brother.

You never know when this flight will end,

who will win in this fight - the pilot or the helicopter.

Fasten your seatbelts, flying in an inverted loop.

I turn off the engine, over and out world.

as the earth is spinning... (x9)

Let the alarms warn

about a system defect.

Flight clearance is denied,

but I'm at the controls of the helicopter.

The sun is setting as evening approaches.

Ground control yells over the radio.

Flight clearance is denied.

In my hands are the keys to the helicopter.

Let the alarms warn

about a system defect.

Flight clearance is denied,

but I'm at the controls of the helicopter.

The sun is setting as evening approaches.

Ground control yells over the radio.

Flight clearance is denied.

In my hands are the keys to the helicopter.
