[Lyric] OG Keemo - Ende English Translation (Genius English Translations)

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
13. September, I find myself five weekdays
Before the official deadline of the album submission
Long time since we last spoke
I know, they're still waiting
Because months turn to a year and then another year
When this drops, I'm gonna sleep a week
While niggas tremble like the ticker form during dry spells
I promised Franky I won't fuck his head until the due date
And that the outro is written when I'm back from Berlin
And here I am in the ICE headed south
With five hours that fly by while I'm just typing out this song, yeah
"Let’s not push back again please!"
What did you think? This shit is in my blood
And i mean the checks are right and the family is well
And still I never celebrate too much when purple calls
But they understand none of that, I know boys with me in front of the teachers desk
That stand and confess nothing, even though they say they threatened us with the pigs
Boys that haven't moved for ten years
Since I get paid for talking, I am plagued by
Survivors guilt, yeah
Mom said I lack patience
Baba says I live too calmly
My bro once said I am like Vince Carter from the Hawks
Even though I just started my career
That was a joke, but I took that personally
Tzz, nigga, I'm like Kobe after his second ring
I am provider, this shit is in my instinct
I can't imagine a life as an only child, yeah
Look how fast the time goes by
My friend from back then wrote to me: "Bro, when is your comeback?"
Another says he'd do it again if he had the chance
And is now deported to the Dom. Rep
Bro, I know both from the same time
The pandemic and this year kept my circle very small
The mob is dead, and not because of conflict
I mean, we don't agree, but just because we're no longer friends we don't have to be enemies
(The mob is dead, the world is going to the dogs)
This goes to the listener that can't understand
What boys like you and me saw
I hope you're okay
Your business is your business, bro, I get it
You should hear the things I can't tell in my songs
I'm sorry for the waiting
I am just happy not to sleep on this studio couch anymore
I can't wait to throw my phone away
I just waste my time with uno and cigars
Maybe with Angelou or James Baldwin, I get what you mean
But I don't stand for the Kendrick comparison, yeah
This train is passing cities by right now
With which I share all these memories
And for a small moment I'm seventeen again, ciggies in the jeans
I smell smoke, I taste Cola-Jim-Beam-cans
I sense hoes that caress him on the toilet
I hear the beat of "No Hands" and Meeks verses
I feel the slap on the ear, because the big ones saw us blazing
I feel drugs and positive urine tests
Loud sirens, deep breathing and escaping
And three boys run across the gravelly soil, yeah, yeah
[Interlude]
"Karim, what's up with you?"
"Yeah, how are you getting along in a world full of dogs?"
"Ey yo, I just try not to get bitten"
"Eh-hehehe"
"Heh, oh"

[Bridge]
Yeah, man bites dog, man bites dog, man bites dog
Man bites dog, man bites dog, man bites dog
Man bites dog, man bites dog, man bites dog
Man bites dog, man bites dog, man bites dog
Man bites dog, man bites dog, man bites dog
(Pow!)
(Pah, pah, pah, pah)

[Verse 2]
I am happy to see you here
I know you have so much to tell
Because you've been on the way for months
I have seen a lot, but I shed tears, because you're beautiful
You don't have to cry, there's no reason for that
So pure and untouched, as if she created art with me
I have the hands of my grandfather, and you have them from me
In the end it all worked out
And the whole stress from last year was worth it in the end
Your timing couldn't have come better, I swear
The only thing still annoying me is that grandma had to go
Before you came, I wish you two still got to know each other
You came on the eighth just like her
It's like you knew it
Since then I wear this number permanently
I remember my best days and think
That after all these years, I had
No other choice but to call you exactly this name, yeah
Since then I wear this number permanently
I remember my best days and think
That after all these years, I had
No other choice but to call you exactly this name, yeah
It starts with M
Starts with M
After all these years, I had
No choice but to call you exactly this name
