Alla vill ha pengar
Aki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Välkommen till en utsatt sjuk trakt
Arbetare utbrända, brinnande myrstack
Samla pengar för lägenhet, hyrd barack
För cash måste komma in, supersnabbt
In och ut med knark alla försöker stå upp
Korta karriärer går över fort
Designerkläder mot en överdos
Växer upp i svåra förhållanden bror
Som en ökenros
Bland rök och booze, där någon sköt min bror
Och lämnade han i pöl av blod
Ba' överlever stökigt nog
Kokain, tid, kapitalism och frihandel
Vita bollar på röda linjen som J-O Waldner
Drömmer om en villa i Spanien
Och bo vid stranden
Men det slutar som en volta
Eller blod på marken
Som om vi inte duger till nåt, nej
Yo, hela livet har dom ljugit för oss
Och juniorerna är sugna på och slåss
För smulor, dom laddar kulor och ba'
Skjuter från en cross
Alla vill ha pengar, massa para, stålar, cash
Money on the mind, oavsett vad som krävs
Alltid många som förvandlar sig
Till ormar i gräs
Alla vill ha kakan men finns
Ingenting som är beläsh
Alla vill ha pengar, para, stålar och cash
Money on the mind, oavsett vad som krävs
Alltid många som förvandlar sig
Till ormar i gräs
Alla vill ha kakan men finns
Ingenting som är beläsh
Parasystemet tar oss fånga
Problemen är inte låtsas
Dyr klocka, tickar ner tills det stoppas
Designerkläder får stora hål
När semi spottar
För blixtar slår ner hårt när egon åskar
I en kort tid av lyx
Men minnet bleknar oftast
För ett kort liv med sedlar så blev du offrad
Och med tiden, ingen minns brorsan
För cash ska komma in
Kanin i kassaskrin brorsan
Mycket, vill ha mer, får inte nog brorsan
Vi fortsätter
Tills det kommer blod från kossan
Mjölkar gatan, syndar tills vi möter satan
Kameran övervakar men ingen hör oss prata
Encrow och Wickr, hekton och piller
Rentor och jidder tills du
Blir bänkad av grisen
Hämtade keysen, strängaste weedet
Dividerar, multiplicerar
De' ghettomatematiken
Alla vill ha pengar, massa para, stålar, cash
Money on the mind, oavsett vad som krävs
Alltid många som förvandlar sig
Till ormar i gräs
Alla vill ha kakan men finns
Ingenting som är beläsh
Alla vill ha pengar, para, stålar och cash
Money on the mind, oavsett vad som krävs
Alltid många som förvandlar sig
Till ormar i gräs
Alla vill ha kakan men finns
Ingenting som är beläsh
The lyrics to Aki's song "Alla vill ha pengar" explore the theme of the universal desire for money and the question of what price one is willing to pay to obtain it. The song starts off by welcoming the listener to a vulnerable and sick society, where laborers are exhausted and struggling to make ends meet. The lyrics paint a bleak picture of people working tirelessly to gather money for housing, resorting to living in rented shacks. The pressure to earn cash quickly leads to involvement with drugs and short-lived careers. The desperation for money becomes so intense that individuals sell their souls and trade designer clothes for a deadly overdose.
The song delves into the difficult circumstances that many grow up in, comparing it to a desert rose, resilient despite the challenging environment. The lyrics mention the loss of a loved one due to violence and the survival instinct that kicks in. The desire for wealth seems to permeate society, with references to cocaine, time, capitalism, and free trade. The dream of owning a villa in Spain and living by the beach ends tragically, with the mention of violence and bloodshed. The lyrics express a sense of disillusionment and feeling worthless, as the system has constantly lied and oppressed. The youth are depicted as hungry for fighting and scraps, resorting to violence and weapons to survive.
Overall, the lyrics depict the harsh reality of a society fixated on money, where individuals are willing to sacrifice their integrity, happiness, and even their lives for the pursuit of wealth.
Line by Line Meaning
Alla vill ha pengar men till vilket pris?
Everyone wants money, but at what cost?
Välkommen till en utsatt sjuk trakt
Welcome to a vulnerable and sick place
Arbetare utbrända, brinnande myrstack
Workers burned out, like a blazing anthill
Samla pengar för lägenhet, hyrd barack
Collecting money for an apartment, a rented shack
För cash måste komma in, supersnabbt
For cash to come in, super fast
In och ut med knark alla försöker stå upp
In and out with drugs, everyone tries to stand tall
Korta karriärer går över fort
Short careers fade away quickly
Säljer själen för att göra flooze
Selling your soul to make money
Designerkläder mot en överdos
Designer clothes against a drug overdose
Växer upp i svåra förhållanden bror
Growing up in difficult circumstances, bro
Som en ökenros
Like a desert rose
Bland rök och booze, där någon sköt min bror
Among smoke and booze, where someone shot my brother
Och lämnade han i pöl av blod
And left him in a pool of blood
Ba' överlever stökigt nog
Just surviving, despite the chaos
Kokain, tid, kapitalism och frihandel
Cocaine, time, capitalism, and free trade
Vita bollar på röda linjen som J-O Waldner
White balls on the red line like J-O Waldner
Drömmer om en villa i Spanien
Dreaming of a villa in Spain
Och bo vid stranden
And live by the beach
Men det slutar som en volta
But it ends up like a turn
Eller blod på marken
Or blood on the ground
Som om vi inte duger till nåt, nej
As if we're not good enough for anything, no
Yo, hela livet har dom ljugit för oss
Yo, they've been lying to us our whole lives
Och juniorerna är sugna på och slåss
And the juniors are eager to fight
För smulor, dom laddar kulor och ba'
For crumbs, they load bullets and just
Skjuter från en cross
Shoot from a cross
Parasystemet tar oss fånga
The parasystem captures us
Problemen är inte låtsas
The problems are not pretend
Dyr klocka, tickar ner tills det stoppas
Expensive watch, ticking down until it stops
Designerkläder får stora hål
Designer clothes get big holes
När semi spottar
When the semi spits
För blixtar slår ner hårt när egon åskar
Because lightning strikes hard when egos thunder
I en kort tid av lyx
In a short time of luxury
Men minnet bleknar oftast
But the memory usually fades
För ett kort liv med sedlar så blev du offrad
For a short life with bills, you were sacrificed
Och med tiden, ingen minns brorsan
And with time, no one remembers brother
För cash ska komma in
Because cash should come in
Kanin i kassaskrin brorsan
Rabbit in the safe, bro
Mycket, vill ha mer, får inte nog brorsan
Much, wants more, never satisfied, bro
Vi fortsätter
We continue
Tills det kommer blod från kossan
Until blood comes from the cow
Mjölkar gatan, syndar tills vi möter satan
Milking the street, sinning until we meet Satan
Kameran övervakar men ingen hör oss prata
The camera monitors, but no one hears us talk
Encrow och Wickr, hekton och piller
Encrow and Wickr, hexes and pills
Rentor och jidder tills du
Interest and hassle until you
Blir bänkad av grisen
Get benched by the pig
Hämtade keysen, strängaste weedet
Picked up the keys, the strongest weed
Dividerar, multiplicerar
Dividing, multiplying
De' ghettomatematiken
That's the math of the ghetto
