I got drunk and sat on the clouds, Aeroflot waves to me
Pereleti, ya zaputalsya: ya passazhir ili pilot
Flights, I'm confused: am I a passenger or a pilot?
Svedu ikh s uma, oni takie kuda on nas vezet
I'll drive them crazy, they're like, where is he taking us?
Prigai na pilon, i delai split, otkin’ eto vpered
Jump on the pole and do a split, throw it forward
Tipo gugl poisk, ya nazhal na chto mne povezet
Like a Google search, I clicked on what luck I have
Na pobedu stavlyu vse, pokhui kak budet iskhod
I bet everything on victory, I don’t give a damn what the outcome will be
Ye, ya passazhir ili pilot
Yeh, I'm a passenger or a pilot
Ye
Ye

пассажир или пилот — passenger or pilot
The phrase "пассажир или пилот" translates to "passenger or pilot." This phrase is particularly interesting because it captures a central theme of the song and the artist's journey.
Big Baby Tape uses this line to reflect on his rapid rise to fame and the dizzying pace of his life. He's constantly traveling, experiencing new things, and making big decisions, leading him to question his role: Is he just along for the ride (a passenger), or is he in control, steering his own destiny (a pilot)? This introspective question adds a layer of depth to the otherwise high-energy track.
Big Baby Tape spends this track answering the people who want him to lose. He opens by saying out loud that they do not want him to win, then spends the next two minutes stacking up reasons for them to keep feeling that way: another hit, another flip, another case, another ten miles. There is no chorus to rest in. The verses just keep climbing, and that relentlessness is the point.
Flight is the image that holds it together. He flies like Aladdin, packs so much travel into his year that Aeroflot waves him through, and ends up sitting on the clouds looking down. That is where the title comes from. By the closing lines he has lost track of his own role and asks whether he is a passenger or a pilot, which is really a question about control. He has the money, the flights and the attention, and he is no longer certain whether he is steering any of it or simply being carried along.
Loyalty and betrayal run underneath the flexing. He calls for his own name to be freed and shouts out Kizaru, then draws a hard line at the people he counts as traitors. When he talks about being cancelled, his answer is not an apology, it is a louder version of the same name.
The song never resolves the question it asks. He bets everything on winning and says he does not care how it turns out, which reads either as total confidence or as the moment confidence stops being something you choose.
