Intro (From the Sewers)

I was born with the umbilical cord tangled around my throat

That's why I'm glad I can breathe, I get nothing as granted

I only weight sixty kilos, but no matter how much I eat, I won't be full

That's why they call me hungry, I live every night like going to die next day

They ask where my intelligence has gone, when I tell them to take deez nuts

When we had no money, the only thing that saved me was my ballsacks

My siblings became parents, daughters and sons wake them up at dawn

I ask whether it's worth the labor to hope for miracles between the ruins

My siblings became rappers and made all their siblings pround

I sleep quietly at nights, they would remember this if I was gone early

We ask favors from the dragon, so that next day won't be hard

With Saddam and Philippos, Son Goku, Vegeta and Piccolo

If I quit playing the sport

I'll sit at the bench to imitate Klopp

I lock the target like a robot

I'm not coming out of the studio unless I feel I'm the G.O.A.T.

If I quit playing the sport

I'll sit at the bench to imitate Klopp

I lock the target like a robot

I'm not coming out of the studio unless I feel I'm the G.O.A.T.

Every year is our year, the witches and the fortune tellers told that

That's why vagrants rap, 'cause the city howls at nights

This one's for all the street kids who listen to drills and drink smoke

From the sewers to the heavens

Chases on my screen, pigeons looking at my living room

Before the leave my balcony, to fly above my city

They come back, chirp the lyrics, never tell my secrets to third parties

Trapped between four walls, if I had wings I would fly with them

Above the neighborhoods, from the open-air shafts and the roofs

From the barbershops, the betting stores, the cinemas and the churches

It has policemen instead of shepherds, it has no fields, it has labor residences

The largest village in Greece, with one and a half million souls

We live at Nyphi, same present and uncertain future

We thank rap, it makes it seem so interesting

Black bags, hooded jackets, zombies beneath the umbrella

Our own kids know that very well, when it rains it's all fucked up here

Every year is our year, the witches and the fortune tellers told that

That's why vagrants rap, 'cause the city howls at nights

This one's for all the street kids who listen to drills and drink smoke

From the sewers to the heavens

I was born with the umbilical cord tangled around my throat

That's why I'm glad I can breathe, I get nothing as granted

I only weight sixty kilos, but no matter how much I eat, I won't be full

That's why they call me hungry, I live every night like going to die next day
