If you wonder how I steal and I lie,
And I don’t bat an eye,
It’s cus I can.
I get to live in the sky,
I don’t have to ask why,
Just know I can.
You don’t get some of the pie,
Cus it’s all mine to buy,
Because I can.
Don’t matter who I am,
I just get all I can,
Because I can.
If you wonder how I cheat and I scam
And I don’t give a damn,
It’s cus I can.
Don’t matter the supply,
I create the demand,
Because I can.
If you wonder why I fuck your life up,
And I don’t give a fuck,
It’s cus I’m always hard up,
No matter how much
I have it’s never enough,
So I huff and I puff,
And I blow your house down,
And I build my own town,
Why?
Because I can.
Why?
Because I can.
Don’t matter how you cheat and you scam,
And you don’t give a damn.
Or you steal and you lie,
And you don’t bat an eye.
Or try to fuck my life up,
Cus you don’t give a fuck.
We’re saying your time is up,
Aw no, you’ve had enough.
Why?
Because we can.
Why?
Because we can.
