Conviction
Click to see the original lyrics (Greek)
The ad says that we must stick together
We expected assholes in order to survive
Trying to avoid humiliation
I'm not wronging the ones that didn't withstand the pressure
And I'm looking for redemption on other levels
I talk to the dead when I write verses
I've got Biggie watching behind the couch
To scold me for rules that I never followed
Trying to walk the line like Cash
If I'm not an artist, I must go to an asylum
Grand Theft Auto on a plasma TV that came without a box
And the tall guy was charged for a leather jacket (what?)
Pun would get mad if he heard me on this verse
Because the images in my head are killing the flow
I look for ways to combine verse with music
And a woman to bring me 2 eggs when I wake up in the morning
The hand shakes when it's breaking it, and lets weed fall on the floor
That's okay, let it drop for those that left early
What's this justice that you keep trying to find?
As if anyone cared what would become of us
So many snakes that you will trust as your friends
So many sluts out there, you're bound to fall in love with one
So many lost dreams so that you can be disappointed
Everything is against us, bet on it to get paid
Summer 2014, bro, you're living it
I look forward to July like a vacationer
Because when I run out of everything I need a motivation
I'm collecting money to bet on the World Cup
My city Thessaloniki A.K.A. Conviction
My days are meaningless
I'm afraid not to slip off of the seventh floor on purpose
That's what I call a problem
I have an escape plan and maybe I can make it
To go to cities that I can't even pronounce
I say Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro
I said, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro
What are you looking at; Things are bad here
Before even the first old ones descend from the stars
Capable people, that don't even have money for rent
Children from the countryside make their way to Thessaloniki
The bourgeois shout that the world belongs to them
And they refuse to believe what the TV doesn't show
We're all hooked, huh? who quits?
Let us tell you stories from the crypt
Dark like voodoo from across the ocean
24/7 I'm careful
The eyelid of my left eye is trembling
As if some ancient evil force is looking for us everywhere
Until the future in the time of the contaminated sky
That changes its colour at the push of a single button
Neon signs, ads of digital orgasm
Armies of killers in the service of the new God
The same problems as you knew it, insecurity and stress
And an asshole's voice shouting orders
Slave markets that some called jobs
With your head bowed down you follow their word
Fights, blood on the sidewalks, stabbings
I saw a friend of mine go down from them in my sleep
I saw the girl at the square with a cunt the day before yesterday
Because the pain is invisible but the scars are visible
My vision, panic, 40plus fever
Delirium, sunshine and I don't see the light
Those that don't see what I see say "what does he see?"
But I am honoured to be the one that sees things differently
My city Thessaloniki A.K.A. Conviction
My days are meaningless
I'm afraid not to slip off of the seventh floor on purpose
That's what I call a problem
I have an escape plan and maybe I can make it
To go to cities that I can't even pronounce
I say Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro
I said, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro
