Dad's Story 03:29
Verse 1: Back in the day when I entered the land of Holland. A bus drive, the whole day. Back pains and sleepless. In the deepness. With soul of a fighter. Brighter, day tomorrow is what I was looking for. For the first time, saw a man homeless. Begging for money. Holes in his clothes. On the ground like boneless. Didn’t know that was the structure. Felt like a frightened mothafucka. But at the same time, I saw new possibilities. With a future for my wife, my kid and me. Saw the shit I had to do wanted to live like a king. But I had to start as a pawn. Tried to find a job. To support my family. A thousand miles away. And pay for them to come my way. I had to leave them, in order to build up a solid ground. In a land where the system isn’t torn up by hounds. I just wanted the finest out of life. Verse 2: The hardest thing I ever had to do. Was leaving my family. What if the city where they at, got attacked. Yes I knew, I could not, forgive myself for that. So we here now. Gotta battle hard just to make some. Money put a roof above us. Trust in God and I know God will guide me. To be able to provide for my family. A new language. No job I can find with. This diploma, disappointment So I guess I gotta find a new career. Help me dear, God. Give me the drive to fight. Reach me the power that I need in life. Pass the mic and I speech in thee. I, found a job in a Yugo kitchen. Ah. Though job but I’m never bitching. And, rough diamonds in the dirt. Is what we are. Ready to shine now (ready to shine now).

Verse 1: Got love for the scene. Come from far. Out of the East. Balkan bars. Neva defeat. Now get Slivovic. We now wanna be. Free from a d, now eat like these. Kings and queens that mean that we. Take over this emcee. Breathe tha heat with truth I mean we- -Need that funk flow beat (that beat), to ex-press my feel About the place I come from, love to get drunk. Drink from bottle, big like King-Kong. This punk will feed deep thought, and will be free like bird with songs. With love for the number one, spot, yeah. Life’s hard on East-Block. Hook Verse 2: If ya mess with this. Ain’t gonna live to tell about it. No stress in this. We from East, raising our kids. With the lifestyle that we know best, invest in peace for the East-Block, won’t stop. Till we see, what we wanna see. Cuz we been. Too long in the war game. I saw the, bombs drop on tha land like rainfall. Made stronger, but insane. Bit strange, find therapy in the booze. Too long in the hard race. Yeah crops on the land, they dry, out. My heart is on the right spot, but. Life’s hard on East-Block. Hook Outro: Now let me get back to the East-Block with a backpack. Full of money, stacks. Invest that. Full of money stacks, full of money stacks. Full of money stacks, full of money stacks. Let me get back to the East-Block with a backpack. Full of money, stacks. Invest that. Full of money stacks, full of money stacks. Full of money stacks, full of money now. Hold on

Verse: You’ll get a smack on the head like a shot form the liquor. Back with a flow, for an overdose quicker. Back in position. Stick on tha scene, Like a waterproof sticker. Slicker Coming with the armed ammunition. Cause demolition. Wanna stop me, beta step in ya tub with a big TV. I got the vision to run with the great minds Take a leap in the dirt where I come from. Where the word a the day is corruption. Where the people are stuck in the system. Cellblock-East. Try to find peace, vision of a philanthropy. Don’t define me. As a crook or a bad guy. One on one leave ya stunned with a black eye. Number one Yugoslav. Fight like a Partizan. With a gun and a shot glass. Hook: This is what you get when you mess with the Balkan. This is what you get when you mess with the East-Block. This is what you get when you mess with the movement This is what you get when you mess with the real one. Outro: When ya mess with a Don. Mess with a king. Mess with the pawns, with the siblings. When ya mess with the Don. Mess with the king. Mess with the pawns, mess with the queen. When ya mess with the Don. Mess with the king. Mess with the pawns, with the siblings. When ya mess with the Don. Mess with the Don.

See my dad in a new Volvo. With a Rolex, Shining, on his arm. Little sis as a big one. With wisdom. Straight from the heart now. Each word is a blessing, mind, set. Try to come out the dark. Got the spark. That I need indeed I smoke weed But that doesn’t mean, that I’m a junk. I’m on the run now. Twenty-four seven. Gotta make it for the Balkan. Invest the gold, cuz I’m done with a life so stressed out. Gotta make some moves. Gotta make sure I’m blessed now. This time I make the rules. Hook: I’m done with a life so stressed out. Life so stressed out. Give ya the flow and won’t run now. On the move to the top. I want to, enta the life, enta the life. I want to, focus my mind, focus my mind.

Like sunshine, give ya the vibe and energy. And maybe one day we be free. Chase gold like some chase Wi-Fi. Long way, but. I, try. I, see blocks on the road but I keep on driving. I dodge them all now. Gotta move on the block now. Where the ones got shot down. Where the bombs dropped, neva forget. The pain in my family’s heart, and my own. See the whole Balkan as my family. One face, one race. This time. I got to get mine. Must make it today (make it today). Cuz Hook: I’m done with a life so stressed out. Life so stressed out. Give ya the flow and won’t run now. On the move to the top. I want to, enta the life, enta the life. I want to, focus my mind, focus my mind. I, try to make it in this life we ive. And make sure to be positive.
