Svedok

‘Teo bi svaki da ima zivot ovaki,
da bude kriminalac, Porse, Kavasaki.
Ovo pravi je gangsteraj, opusti se i pevaj,
odrast’o na ulici, gde je vazda bio belaj.
Poc’o sam u Svabiji — selidbe, moleraj,
„baustel” sa Turcima, kuntao sa Kurdima.
Dos’o sam iz Pickovca kog nema ni na mapi,
na Zapadu naucio sta je zivot pravi.
Ovde sam se slifovao, ispek’o sam zanat,
rekao sam sebi: Ma uspecu ja garant.
Nas’o bolju sljaku, malo radio „na kvaku”,
nisam bir’o klijentelu, prim’o svaku stranku.
Gilipteri me navukli, kad sam otis’o za Frankfurt,
da s’ carapom na glavi vozim ih u banku.
Tu sam malo odrobi’o, jebiga, klinac sam bio,
iznabad’o svakog ko bi me proziv’o.
To sam radio za primer, da stekao bi’ ime,
jer rekli su mi stariji da tako to ide.
Kad izas’o sam „vani” iz Sluzbe su me zvali,
da obavim neki poslic, novi pasos su mi dali.
Ja gledam moja slika, ali pise drugo ime.
Nista nisu rekli samo gde treba da idem.
Iz Hamburga sam trajektom otis’o za Stokholm,
Cetnike i Ustase — sve sam ih izrok’o.
Rekli mi: Zadrzi sve ono sto si pokr’o.
Nocu diskoteke, trosio sam mnogo.
Skupilo se drustvo, svi iz bivse Juge,
tamo besneo je rat, a mi svi zlatne cuke.
Tad’ se raspala i Sluzba, ali ne i nasa druzba,
tamo dole sankcije, a nama ovde zurka.
 
Refren:
Svi znaju ko sam ja, da sam dosao sa dna,
i zato grabim sve sto mogu, jer mi pripada.
Ma znaju ko sam ja, Sluzba, Vojska, Murija,
i zato grabim sve sto mogu, jer mi pripada.
 
Presli „via Zürich” sve do Azurne obale,
„Kartijeove” zlatare mnogo nam se dopale.
Za oko su nam zapale prebogate strankinje,
sve su redom htele da probaju muskarcine.
Mi svi mladi, sportisti, tetovaze, oziljci,
duge kose nosili, nismo im oprostili.
Posle ih orobili pa za franke podvodili,
sve smo redom drzali, ne pitaj me rođeni.
I da ne verujes, tako mi u Ricu nešto klopali,
usred zalogaja zvonim, umalo da se zadavim.
Vidim +381, mozda majka me treba,
il’ neko od mojih sa sela, ko me zove u sred jela?
Kad neki nepoznat glas kaze: Znas ti ko je ovde,
ti se tu zajebavas, dok se nasi ovde bore,
brzo pakuj torbe, jos sutra da si ovde,
nemoj da nam vrdas, da ne pravimo problem.
Znao sam ja ko je, spakov’o se brze bolje,
ma ima 15 godina da nisam bio dole.
Taman sam se ponadao da videcu moje,
kad ono malo morgen, eto mene u sred Bosne.
Sa cinom i ekipom, blindiranim dzipom,
sve po naredjenju, ja nista nisam pit’o.
Nista nisam pip’o, sem malo bele tehnike,
kojekakvih kuraca smo trpali na slepere.
Kad sam dos’o u Beograd sve sam mrko gled’o,
sve te gradske mangupcice za cas sam poredj’o.
Hohstaplercice i sline, sto tu mi nesto glume,
a moze vrana sa zemlje u dupe da im kljune.
I nije bilo tesko da sve im lepo uzmem,
takav je moj zivot, ja drugacije ne umem.
 
Refren:
I ceo grad me zna, kao da sam s’ asfalta,
i neka misle svi da teska sam seljacina.
Jer ceo grad me zna, pevaljka, manekenka,
i svaka kaze da sam ljakse, al’ mi ipak da.
 
Ovaj grad i zemlju ja nikad nisam voleo,
ovde sam ziveo samo zato sto sam morao.
Ovde sve je na prodaju, e vidis to mi se dopalo,
za bas male pare kupis sve ono što je propalo.
I firme i ljude, stek’o sam i ugled,
prijemi, parade, kokteli, ambasade.
Placao sam stranke, i ovakve i onakve,
bilborde, reklame, turneje, kampanje.
Pevale mi razne, one estradne i gradske,
sto misle da sam ljakse, al’ za kintu sve rade.
Sazidao par crkava da malo smirim savest,
posle svega sto sam prosao nocu tesko zaspim.
A preko dana naspem, tu i tamo i povucem,
samo malo da se sredim, nisam ja navucen.
Nego svasta cujem, i sta treba i sta ne treba,
kriminal i politika, e u tome ti je nevolja.
 
Ove sto sam izdrzav’o, sad im postalo malo,
a mnogo ih je plasilo sto o njima sve sam znao.
Pokrenula se istraga o mome poslovanju,
trazili me, al’ me nisu nasli na imanju.
Ja ih nisam cek’o, al’ nisam otis’o daleko,
vec dole na primorje, gde ruka ruku miluje.
Tu nema ekstradicije, il’ kako se to kaze,
ovde sam slobodan k’o galeb, mogu do sutra da me traze.
I tako, ja i moji jataci sedeli na obali,
smejali se, pricali, neke jastoge klopali,
i da ne verujes rodjeni, ponovo zvoni mi mobilni,
stari dobri glas sto me godinama progoni.
 
Kaze: Opet smo te pronasli, od nas neces pobeci,
biraj sta ti draze, saradnik il’ pokojnik?
Presece me zivog, ovo nisam ocekiv’o,
nije bilo lako da napravim izbor.
 
Al’ jbg sta ces svakom svoje dupe milo,
 
spakov’o se,klisnuo,na sudu sve sam priznao,
 
i stare drugare,sve sam redom izdao,
 
ocekiv’o najgore,da ovaj put sam riknuo,
 
al ponovo me zivot na srecu iznenadio,
 
desilo se ono,cemu nisam se ni nadao,
 
cista proslost,cista savest,nemam zasto da se kajem,
 
dobro je da ovde ljudi stvarno slabo pamte,
 
Imam novi ugovor,i nekim drugima sad dajem,
 
i kol’ko vidim rodjeni,jos dugo cu da trajem.
 
I svako dete zna,ceo svet pod nogama,
 
a ti se pitas kako,sta si duso mislila,
 
i svako dete zna,ceo svet pod nogama,
 
a ja se pitam,kol’ko kosta Srbija??

Witness

Every guy would want to have life like this
to be criminal, to have a Porsche, a Kawasaki
This is a real gang hood, just relax and sing
I grew up on the streets, where has always been a mess
I started in Germany - moving, painting(1)
Baustel(2) with Turks, slept with Kurds(3)
I came form pussy land(4) that can't be found on the map
on the west I've learned what's the real life
I've honed myself here, I've baked the craft
I told myself: I will succeed for sure
Found a better job, worked "on the door knob"(5)
I wasn't choosing clients, accepted every party
Geliebter(6) pulled me in, when I went to Frankfurt
to drive them into the bank with a sock on my head
I served some time there, fuck it, I was a kid
stabbed anyone who would fuck with me
I did that for example, to become someone
because I heard from the older that that's how it goes
When i got out, from Service(7) I was called
to do some small work, they gave me new passport
It had my picture but the name wasn't mine
They said nothing, just where to go
From Hamburg with ferry to Stockholm
Chetniks and ustashes(8) - killed all of them
They told me: keep everything you had stolen
At night discos, I was spending a lot
The crew gathered, all from ex-Yu
the war was raging there, and we all were golden heads
Then also the Service fell apart, but not our crew
Down there sanctions, and to us here is a party
 
Ref
Everyone knows who I am, that I came from from the bottom,
and so I grab everything I can, because it belongs to me
yea, they all know who I am, Service, Military, Police
so I grab everything I can, because it belongs to me
 
We crossed "via Zürich” all to Azure shore
Cartier jewelries , we liked them a lot
Rich foreign women fell into our eyes(9)
They all wanted to try out the macho guys
All of us young, sportsmen, tattoos, scars
long hairs they had, we didn't forgive them
We robbed them later and for franks we pimped them
we kept them all, don't ask me bro'
And you wouldn't believe, we were eating something in Ric
In the middle of the bite my phone rang, I almost choked
I see +381(10), maybe my mother needs me
Or someone from my family from the country, who calls me in the middle of the meal?
But some unknown voice says: Do you know who is this
You're fucking around there, while ours are fighting here
Pack your bags at once, and be here tomorrow
Don't try to run away from us, and we won't make a problem
I knew who it was, packed my bags as fast as possible
it was a 15 years since I've been there
I really hoped to see my family
But that didn't happen, I was in the middle of Bosnia
With a rank and my crew, and armed Jeep
Everything like it was ordered, I didn't ask anything
I didn't touch anything, just some white technology
all kinds of crap we put in the trucks
When I arrived in Belgrade I looked at everyone with despise
All those idiots from town, I have put them in order
punks and slime(reffering to people), that are acting smart around
and a crow from ground can peck them in the ass
And it wasn't hard to take everything from them smoothly,
that's the life, I'm not able to do it differently
 
Ref
And the whole city knows me
And let them think I'm a hardcore peasant
Because the whole city knows me, a (girl) singer, a model
And each one of them thinks I'm a peasant(11), but they all give me (sex)
 
This town and city I've never loved
I lived here only because I had to
Here is everything for sale, you see, that's what I liked
for really small amount of money you buy everything that failed
Companies and people, I gained reputation
receptions, parades, cocktails, embassies.
I've payed for parties, these and those
billboards, advertisements, tours, campaigns
All sort of girls sang to me, folk and estrade music(12)
and all of them think I'm a peasant, but for the money they would do anything
I built a few churches calm my conscience
after all I've been trough I sleep hard at night
And during the daytime, I pour a bit,here and there I inhale some drugs
Just to get myself together a bit, I'm not a junkie
Anyway, I hear all sorts of thing, once I should and once I shouldn't
criminal and politics, and that's the trouble
 
Those I supported, it wasn't enough for them
and it scared them a lot what I knew about them
There was an investigation about my business
they searched for me, but they didn't find my on my estate
I didn't wait for them, but I didn't went too far
just down on the coast, where I scratch your back and you scratch mine
there isn't any extradition, or whatever it's called
here I'm free as a seagull, they can search me as much as they want to
And so, me and my pals were sitting on the coast
laughing, talking, and eating some lobsters
and you wouldn't believe it man, my phone rang again
good old voice that's been haunting me for years
 
It says: We found you again, you won't run away from us
choose what you like better, associate or deceased?
It scared the crap out of me, I didn't expect that
it wasn't an easy choice
 
But, what can you do, everybody looks up on his own ass
 
I got by bags packed, left, and admitted everything on the court
 
and old pals, I betrayed them all
 
expected the worse, that this time I'm dead
 
but luckily, my life surprised me again
 
the unexpected happened
 
clean past, clean conscience, nothing to regret about
 
it's good that people don't memorize things well here
 
I got a new contract, and I'm giving to some other people now
 
and as I can see now man, I'll last for a long time
 
And every kid knows, whole world under the feet
 
and you're asking yourself, what did you meant honey,
 
and every kid knows, whole world under the feet
 
and I'm asking myself, how much Serbia costs?
