Description

First, there is the hustle and bustle, the echoes of the city, and fatigue from the voices of strangers. Then, suddenly, the realization that you no longer want to play the old role. Everything is annoying: the noise, the endless conversations, even your own thoughts going round in circles. But somewhere beneath this hum, a change is brewing - one that doesn't require loud promises. It's just time to throw the old out of your pockets, stop fixing what doesn't work, and finally move forward.

The rhythm of the track is like footsteps on wet asphalt after rain - confident, though a little tired. With each beat of the drum, it becomes quieter inside and clearer outside. The music doesn't ask for applause, it just reminds you: no one will come and do it for you. It all starts when you stop making excuses and just do it. Now.

Lyrics and translation

Original

Een leg is verhoopd.

Het maakt een gat in mijn tasje, in mijn tasje.

Dus voordat ik geloof, moet ik nagaan wie als eerst pakte.

Wil op niks meer hopen. Dat gedacht dat niet meer bij mij past. Ja.

Ik wil niks meer zijn van wat ik was. Ja.

Fucking indoor bitch op de runway. Wil een outdoor bitch voor Sundays.

Wil van mij geen in op June days. Daarom spend ik het big op fundays.

Lieve schat, ik ben antisociaal. Niet alleen sociaal als ik funds race.

Ben niet langer die man van toen, nee. Nam het heft in eigen hand. Veel shots, nee penalty bokaal. Ja, die

Insta threads waren lang neef. Laat me never naar dat niveau gaan.

Maar fucking internet ask Kai Slegs.

Excuseer mijn Frans steeds. Kleine stack hen lang lijkt Kante.

Al is er niemand die van mij zijn lans breekt. Blijf bij mijn eigen plan, ey, ey.

Focking verveeld van small talk. Blablabla blablabla blablabla. Keu deed skin was al talk.

Soms heb ik geen zin, het zal wel. Elke discussie was puntloos.

Al die mannen hun kantoor kunstloos. Maar toch willen ze hun punt pakken op een artiest.

Logisch dat ik nooit voor hun koos. Rap facts vulde fucker van Jumbo.

Nu met Ricks in een bakkah van Umbro. Ken stress, een mijn bakkah was dun.

Maar nu breek ik mijn rug als ik unload. Schotse Hoogland was John Doe. Veel wind in die bitch, gaat skrt net

Monroe. Gooi het omhoog, omhoog, omhoog. Coupe kwam niet van de salon, though.

Drip kwam niet van de Zalando. One of one, maar toch wandel ik humble.

Shawty standaard nat of ik handel in shampoo. Come on, come on, come on.

Je wordt elke keer gekantord. Rap shit, real, geen mambo.

Fuck mijn rambo.

Het gekke is dat je vaak zelf precies weet wat nodig is.

Dat als je ergens wil komen. Tijd voor nieuwe dingen.

Moet je oude dingen skippen. Dan moet je weggaan. Dan moet je dingen laten. Kijk in de spiegel.

Je weet precies wat nodig is voor verandering. Je weet precies wat nodig is voor groei.

Waarom doe je het niet? Wat houdt je tegen? Ben je bang voor succes?

Ben je bang om te falen? Ben je bang wat een ander ervan vindt?

Op een dag word je niet meer wakker. Op een dag word je niet meer wakker. Je denkt: ik heb nog zoveel jaar.

Maar de tijd tikt als een fucking tijdbom. Waarom niet nu?

Wat is er mis met nu? Alles draait om doen, doen, doen. Het is doen, op je bek gaan en doen.

Zolang jij maar weet waar je heen wilt gaan en wat nodig is om daar te komen.

Kijk jezelf aan en zeg, spreek uit wat er nodig is om daar te komen.

Want jij weet precies wat daarvoor nodig is.

English translation

A laying is expected.

It makes a hole in my purse, in my purse.

So before I believe, I have to consider who took first.

Don't want to hope for anything anymore. That thought no longer suits me. Yes.

I don't want to be anything anymore of what I was. Yes.

Fucking indoor bitch on the runway. Want an outdoor bitch for Sundays.

I don't want to go in on June days. That's why I spend it big on fundays.

Dear, I'm antisocial. Not just socially when I race funds.

I'm no longer that man from back then, no. Took matters into his own hands. Lots of shots, no penalty cup. Yes, that one

Insta threads were long cousin. Never let me go to that level.

But fucking internet ask Kai Slegs.

Please excuse my French. Short stack them long looks Kante.

Although there is no one who will stand up for me. Stick to my own plan, ey, ey.

Fucking bored of small talk. Blah blah blah blah blah blah. Cue did skin was already talk.

Sometimes I don't feel like it, whatever. Every discussion was pointless.

All those men's offices are artless. But they still want to take their point on an artist.

Logically I never chose them. Rap facts filled fucker from Jumbo.

Now with Ricks in a bakkah from Umbro. Know stress, a my bakkah was thin.

But now I'm breaking my back unloading. Scottish Highland was John Doe. A lot of wind in that bitch, that's fine

Monroe. Throw it up, up, up. Coupe didn't come from the salon, though.

Drip did not come from Zalando. One of one, but still I walk humble.

Shawty standard wet or I deal in shampoo. Come on, come on, come on.

You get officed every time. Rap shit, real, no mambo.

Fuck my rambo.

The funny thing is that you often know exactly what is needed.

That if you want to get somewhere. Time for new things.

Should you skip old stuff? Then you have to leave. Then you have to let things go. Look in the mirror.

You know exactly what is needed for change. You know exactly what is needed for growth.

Why don't you do it? What's holding you back? Are you afraid of success?

Are you afraid of failure? Are you afraid of what someone else thinks?

One day you won't wake up anymore. One day you won't wake up anymore. You think: I still have so many years.

But time is ticking like a fucking time bomb. Why not now?

What's wrong with now? It's all about doing, doing, doing. It's about doing it, sitting down and doing it.

As long as you know where you want to go and what it takes to get there.

Look at yourself and say, express what it takes to get there.

Because you know exactly what it takes.
