LISTEN
Ungarna kör fullt ut dom trampar på pedalen
Det går wrom wrom, knas len, ännu en begraven
Slummen den är sjuk den smittar mig och gör mig galen
Ey yo vakna, varning, upplopp i staden
Folket kokar över tänder eld på riksdagen
Och massa vapen snurrar runt bland barnen
Och droger och våld har bilvit en del av vardagen
Jag kan inte sova nått mer
Allting går upp för mig när solen går ner
Kan inte drömma mig bort
Jag ser problem under mitt ögonlock
Jag kan inte sova nått mer
Allting går upp för mig när solen går ner
Kan inte drömma mig bort
Jag kan inte sluta loopa
Stänger ögonen o ser de svarta molnen hopas
Undrar varför vägen ska vara fylld utav gropar
Vi växer upp med känslan av att ha förlorats
Ser du vart de rotas
O jag svarar sho ja, ser var du ser
Yo jag ser hur hatet frodas
Droger i området ser min broder överdosa
Ser hur dom planerar, kalkylerar varje move, ja
Förvandlar oss till bovar
Mannen, är dom kloka, plundrar dom unga och springer ifrån notan
Vad ska dom ta vägen nu när gården är skrotad
Jotman sitter slagen och hotad, i handklovar
Ey yo bror jag, ser hur små problem blir stora
Mammas tårar rinner ner från kinden när hon ropar
Ännu en begraven som dog där han var bosatt
Vill, blunda och slippa se men det går inte att snooza nej
När solen går ner börjar gamarna cirkulera
Grisarna spanar och vargarna blir flera
Varmt blod blir kallt när drogerna förorenar
Vapen blir flera och våldet eskalerar
Överallt ser man folk som skenar
Från centrum ut till stadens grenar
Själen har blivit bortprioriterad
Men det är ingenting media speglar
Vi har vissnat in i roten, svårt här ute o florera
Där dom lägger upp taktiken hur dom ska spela
Åh vi är ba brickor i spelet, inget mera
På botten av en pyramid där vi inte värderas
Åh stress tynger mig som ett ton stenar
Jag går och väntar på att detonera
Det måste finnas andra sätt o leva
I mina drömmar ser jag ett folk enat
The lyrics of "När Solen Går Ner" by Aki ft. Kapten Röd shed light on the issues of violence, drugs, and poverty in urban areas. The song starts with the sound of gunshots and the depiction of a chaotic scene where children ride their bicycles and another person is buried, highlighting the realities of crimes and deaths. The slums are described as a contagious disease that affects not only the body but also the mind. The overall ambiance in the song is intense and anxious.
As the song progresses, Aki talks about his difficulty in sleeping as he witnesses the problems that happen before his eyes, expressing his frustration and helplessness. He mentions how growing up in a place with potholed roads, surrounded by poverty and drugs, leads a person to feel like they have lost from the start. The song alludes to the everlasting cycle of crime and poverty, where young people are trapped, and the system seems to fail them. Aki sees the bigger picture, where smaller problems become significant issues, and the world around him is engulfed in violence and chaos.
Overall, "När Solen Går Ner" is a powerful commentary on social issues and raises awareness about the pressing problems affecting urban areas. Aki's storytelling and Kapten Röd's meaningful verse bring light to the reality of growing up in a space filled with poverty and violence.

It seems like alot of people want the lyrics in English so i took the time to translate this by the best of my ability. I hope you will enjoy the lyrcis just as much as I do. But of course it cannot be compared to the Swedish version ;)
Yeah, another bedlamon on a skew courtyard
some chasin' drug inebriation others toil hard
The pigs have blue lights, harrassing and beating
Gangsters taking you on a ride if you play tough
Yes, welcome to a fucked up house
Brave back up, people from the hood hussle and crumbles piffs
There is a lot of ways in but not many ways out
But we like it here in the mess and make our time here in our cage, yeah
the dude on floor 5 never home in prison for some robb again
came out one month then jailed again cus' something came across again
the familiy next door cannot afford the ciggarettes,
Make you neighbour a favor and take the wire tru the window some levels down
on 4th floor the consumption is unbeliveable there lives 3200 watt and a ganja cultivation
on the 3rd there is an apartment brothel every night
Old man douchebag without respect, cashing the check and fuck the chorin*
There on second floor lives Karl and Peter Svenström Larsson eller vad de nu heter
students from downtown seems to be regular guys
but they're actually aina on patroling work
You know they have an eye on the dude on floor one
that rules the whole block, every gramme that sells
his apartment is like MTV-cribs with salt and pepper
if someone get caught it's no biggie, he never get custodied anyway
The bottom floor robbing floor where shady characters hanging out bre**
The staircase is the youth recreator center that never closes
drama escalating in the entrance door when dudes being under influence of drugs bre**
Take the elevator whole way down get the gun from the basement, BOOM
-------
Boom Boom, insanity bre**, shots on the housefacade.
The kids going all in, stepping on the pedal
It goes wrom wrom, madness len***,
Once more another dead(burried)
The slum is sick(crazy), infecting me and make me go mad
Ey yo wake up, warning, riots in the city
The people is burning over, lights on the parliament
And all the weapons, flowing around the children
and drugs, violence have become a part of the everyday life, ey!
I cannot get any rest somewhat more
Everything becomes clear when the sun goes down
I may not muse/dream away
I see problems under my eye lids
I cannot get any rest somewhat more
Everything becomes clear when the sun goes down
I may not muse/dream away
I cannot get any rest somewhat more
Everything becomes clear when the sun goes down
I may not muse/dream away
I cannot stop go in my spirals
Closing the eyes and seeing the dark clouds heading up
Wonder why the road have to be full of pits
We grow up with the feeling of having already lost
Do you see how it rooting,
I answer/saying hell yeah, i see what you see.
Yo i see how the hate is flourishing,
Drugs in my neighbourhood, I seeing my brother overdose
I see how they planning, calculating every move, yes
Make us look like villains
Dude, are they crazy?! looting the youths and run away from the bill(taxes)
Where're they supposed to go when the youth recreation center is gone
Jotman sitting in handcuffs, threatened and beaten up
Ey yo, brother hey, i see how small problems becoming large
Mothers tears flowing down the chins when she outcries
Anoter more burried that died where he was residing
We turn a blind eye avioding to regard it but this cannot be snoozed no
Cus', i cannot get any rest somewhat more
Everything becomes clear when the sun goes down
I may not muse/dream away
I see problems under my eye lids
I cannot get any rest somewhat more
Everything becomes clear when the sun goes down
I may not muse/dream away
No, no, no
When the sun goes down, the vultures circulating
The pigs are patroling and the wolves becoming more
Warm blood becomes cold when drugs are polluting
Weapons becomes more numerous and the violence escalating
Everywhere you see people bluster, from downtown to the citys suburbs
The soul have been away prioritized, but that is something the media dont reflecting/mirrors
Yo, we have withered all way into the roots of ourselves, hard out here to flourish
where they organizing/lay up the tactics about how they will befool/dupe us
and we are only bricks in the game, nothing more
On the bottom of a pyramid where your life is not valued
And pressure is weighing me down like one tonne stones
Im going here waiting to detonate
There must be other ways to live
In my dreams i see one poeple united!
No, i cannot get any rest somewhat more
Everything becomes clear for me when the sun goes down
I may not muse/dream away
I see problems under my eye lids
I cannot get any rest somewhat more
Everything becomes clear for me when the sun goes down
I may not muse/dream away
I may not muse/dream away
I may not muse/dream away
I may not muse/dream away
I may not muse/dream away
*Chorin=Girl in Swedish slang
**Bre=´´Dude/mate/bro´´, in albania langue and also slang in sweden
***Len[:länn]=Buddy/mate/bro also borrowed slang in sweden
The line ´´ when the sun goes down´´ could also be a metaphor that someone dies, the interpretation is up to each one.

[Verse 1: Aki]
Boom boom, recorded bre, shot on the house facade
The kids are running full they stepped on the pedal
It is wrom wrom, recorded smooth, yet a buried
The slum is sick it infects me and makes me mad
Ey yo awake, alert, riots in the city
The people boiling over a fire in parliament
And mass weapon spins around with the kids
And drugs and violence have bilvit a part of everyday
[Hook: Captain Red]
I can not sleep reached more
Everything goes up for me when the sun goes down
Can not dream away
I see the problem under my eyelids
I can not sleep reached more
Everything goes up for me when the sun goes down
Can not dream away
[Verse 2: Captain Red]
I can not stop looping
Closes eyes o see the black clouds pile up
Wonder why the road should be filled out pits
We grow up with the feeling of having lost
Do you see where they are rooted
[Aki]
O I answer sho yes, look where you look
Yo I see the hatred rampant
Drugs in the area see my brother over box
Seeing how they are planning, calculating every move, yes
Transforms us into villains
[Captain Red]
Man, they're wise, plundering the young and running away from the bill
What are they going to go now that the farm is scrapped
Jotman sits beaten and threatened, in handcuffs
[Aki]
Ey yo brother I see how small problems become big
Mum's tears running down her cheek as she shouts
Once buried, who died where he was residing
Like, close your eyes and not see but you can not snooze no
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Aki]
When the sun goes down the vultures begin to circulate
The pigs checking and wolves becomes more
Warm blood turns cold when the drugs pollute
Weapon becomes more and violence escalates
[Captain Red]
Everywhere you see people running amok
From the center out to the city branches
The soul has been removed priority
But there is nothing the media reflects
[Aki]
We have wilted into the root, hard out here o flourish
There they put up the tactic of how they'll play
Oh we are ba pawns, nothing more
At the bottom of the pyramid where we have not valued
[Captain Red]
Oh the stress weighing on me like a ton of rocks
I go and waiting to detonate
There must be other ways to live o
In my dreams I see a people united
[Hook]

Aki och Kaptenen finns kvar och de fortfarande släpper ut tunga låtar. Men ja, 99% av dagens hip hop är betydelselösa skit som låter likadant, det är rätt.
