lyrics

English lyric translation

Ten or twenty what you gonna do about it
The cemetery is not far, so why did you piss in it?
I can smell the morning from my bedroom
It’s the afternoon and there’s no lunch, coz my mum’s broke
I roll a dust of weed from last night
It don’t make me laugh, not even Gad Elmaleh (comedian)
I sprinkle my worries in the air, they fall as one piece
I finish my joint, pff fuck I am out of weed again
If only the peels could be eaten
But a dog only gives birth to a dog
I start to walk backwards, stopping every five minutes
Capturing some memories, so I can imagine
What the fuck, I can’t sleep at night
I take out my complaints in a trash bag,
Waiting for the municipality
I smell dead bodies, there's no hope no more
Welcome to my fucked up life
Step in without a mask
But it’s charity for you
shut up you haven’t lived through anything
Your tongue is so long, put a rod in it
Ask the illegal immigrants why they don’t watch the Titanic
Watch your face, the slap may come back
Fuck your words, they’re getting more tasteless
The slap hits hard, I'll speak my mind till I die
Serve the pain like a 2 mg pill
Take the desert out of the people and they will die of cold flu
My love is gone
My love is gone
I left toward the unknown
My mother was shedding tears behind me
I still feel her heart burning
I left toward the unknown in a boat of death
Seeking dignity and a good life
I took the risk to arrive
and if I don’t make it, at least my dreams will
And if I die, I ask for forgiveness
From those I cherish and my dear mother who raised me
I don’t mean to be selfish
Long are the nights, yeah, long are the nights
I didn’t sleep lying next to the graves
Searching in my memories
Ah, my memories
Mysterious future, a path full of difficulties
My heart grew harsh and fearless
Ah, it’s fearless
I left toward the unknown
I left toward the unknown
Street Dawg, I left toward the unknown
I left toward the unknown
My love is gone
My love is gone
My love is gone
My love is gone
