En Eskiden Beri
Şehinşah Lyrics

Gezer on the beat
An introductory statement that mentions the name of the person who composed the music

En eskiden beri
For as long as I can remember

Ben derdi herkesin
I was the one everyone's problem revolved around

Nedeni ben bendim yetmedi
The reason was me, but simply being myself wasn't enough

Yeterli gelmedi
I wasn't sufficient

Denedim değmezdi değmedi
I tried, but it wasn't always worth it

Feleğin yerle bir çemberi
The twists and turns of fate can tear one apart

Sebepsiz nefreti
Hate without cause

Epey bi' sert geçti gerçeğim
The truth hits hard and has been harsh for a long time

Genetiğim her şeyi besledi
My genetics influenced everything about me

Pederin ters tepti genleri
My father's genes worked against him and me

Metelik ver dedim vermedi
I asked for money, but he didn't give it to me

Şerefsiz derken içten dedi
He called me a bastard, but meant it from the heart

Ee, ben de dinledim
Well, I listened too

Ne bir adamdım en eskiden beri
Since forever, I wasn't much of a man

Ah, sen, yüreğimi kararttın eksenimden çekil
Oh, you, you darken my heart, so stay away from my axis

Ah, sen, tüm evimi yağmala yeter ki ver beni
Oh, you, just rob my entire house if that will give you what you want

Ah, sen, şüpheli bir Allah’a sevk ettim ben seni
Oh, you, I sent you to a doubtful God

Ah, ellerinde rehin tek gerçeğim, teselli vermeyin
Oh, my only truth is in your hands as a hostage, don't give me comfort

Etse de linç
Even if they try to lynch me

Hepsi geçse çetin pes etmedim
Although difficult times passed, I never gave up

Cennetteyim
I'm in heaven

Cehennemden geldim elleşmeyin
I came from hell, don't mess with me

Testten geçip Ehlilleşti resmen cevher Rap'im
After passing the test, my rap skills became refined

Meşalelerle peşimizde Melis'im, tüm ülke, eminim
Melis follows us with torches, I'm sure the whole country can see it

Sıkı tut elimi, içlerinden geçelim
Hold my hand tightly, let's go through the middle of them

Şekiller değişik, yüzler belli belirsiz
The shapes are different, the faces uncertain

Temelli benimsin, biziz devleri şehirin
You're fundamentally mine, we're the giants of the city

En eskiden beri devim, hiç eğilmemiştim
I've been a giant since forever, I've never bowed down

Yerin dibine girerim o gözlerin için
I'd go to hell for those eyes

Desinler rezillik, sikimde değil hiç
Let them call me shameful, I couldn't care less

Mevsimler geldi geçti, nergislerin telaşesi o
Seasons came and went, it was the haste of the narcissus flowers

Derin dehlizlerinde yâd ediyorken eskileri
Remembering old times in deep passages

Belki beni merak ediyor hepsi, ner'deyim?
Maybe everyone wonders about me, where am I?

Sessizleştikçe daha geriyo'
The quieter it gets, the further behind it is

Eskiden beri miskinlikten bitmediki ikilem
Since forever, idleness hasn't ended my dilemma

Hissizleştim iyiden iyiye siz ettikçe linç
I grew numb as you piled on the criticism

Çivilendim çarmıha, kibrit verdi yanına
I was nailed to the cross, given a match to ignite beside it

Söyle kendi aşkına, niçin bendim Tanrım ha?'
Tell me, for the love of God, why was I myself?

Çekiştiriler en eskiden beridir
Disputes have been around since forever

Bizde pişirirken ezilenler erinir yemişim eti
As we cook, the oppressed finally get to eat the meat

Kim kötü kim iyi
Who's bad, who's good?

Kemikten yetiştim
I grew up from bones

Bi' ölü bi' diri
Half dead, half alive

Yetinmek nedir bilmedim en eskiden beri
Since forever, I never knew what it was to be content

Ve bi' şekilde etkilerdim izleyenleri
And in some way, I affected those who watched

Çok çektim dilek ile bekleyenleri
I've endured much waiting and hoping

Eksilmedim neticede listelerden hiç
In the end, I've never been erased from the lists

Değişmeyeceğim (yo, yo)
I won't change (no, no)

Değiştiremedi kimse beni
No one could change me

Terbiyesizleştiler inmek isteyince, dert değil
When they want to descend into rudeness, it doesn't matter

İsterseniz kurun benden nefret edenler derneği
If you want, form a society of those who hate me

Sevsem de kin beslediler en eskiden beri
Since forever, even though I loved, they held onto hate

Cennetten geçti gelip en eskiden beri (en eskiden beri)
He came from heaven and has been there since forever (since forever)

Bilmezken kimse nedir değiştiren eli
While nobody knew what the changing hand was

Öğrenilmiş çaresizlikler silsilesi
A succession of learned helplessness

Değişen hiçbi' şey yok eskiden beri
Nothing has changed, since forever
