Big D And The Kids Table Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you want smoke, they be pull up and no more shit
Homies on homies 4L, we keep steppin'
Condet Jakarta Timur, I keep reppin'
Bottles on bottles we sippin' more dranks
Hustle in morning make money again
I got some loves and i got some hates
You can decide, kau mau yang mana?
Proof this mothefuckers dick sucker gon' leave
Drugs that i keep
Sell to the city, fasho isn't chip
Only rich kid that can fit
Sejak kecil sudah lit, berjuang saat sulit
Teman solid, mereka bilang ku born to it
I'mma do it dan cari duit
Break the record like lebron shit
You pull up with skimask, I'm showin' my face
Injak pedal, aku siap 'tuk race
Tryna make business
Got no time to waste
If she wanna fuck
I pass homie instead
I got that stripes
They be like ''Really?''
Outta from jail
Bro makin his money
Gang be completed
So watch out your tone
This is the rap
This is the zone
Sekarang apa?
Kau tau bicara dengan siapa
D. Sasongko but you can call me D Song
Ku tulis lirik hisap bong
Mereka tong kosong
Talking shit you bullshit
Pretending you fake shit
Attending any trending
Kita tak sebanding, jangan coba tanding
Ku makan daging, wine sudah aging
Ku tak mau flexing
Stupid bitches wanna act'
But they forget what it done
Playing gangsta at the stu'
But only street you got no clue
I ain't got time for chit-chat
If you want beef? we sharing location
Huh? we sharing location
Privileged rapper, ku macam eraser
Ku hapus faker, silahkan baper
I'm the freekick taker
I'm the number seven
Legend like wining eleven
Ku selalu guna chain
Ku never gonna change
Ten toes down to Ge & 3Sad
Where's them gang's at?
We don't take days off
You motherfuckers play soft
We playin' chess not checkers

A wonderful song for right now on coronavirus lockdown. Hanging in my yard with a beer, and this is a pick me up that I can really use. Thanks, guys!

Why are people arguing about Shining On being punk or not ? This is ska! Insanely good ska for that matter.
We can all go home now.
Astrid Hendrix
To the replies - who gives a fuck? It's great music. End of story.

@Adam Mankowski Toasters are--ARGUABLY ;)--straddling the line between 2nd and 3rd wave.
All that to say? Agreed. Fuck elitism. It's good music that makes you move your feet.

@Kari Greyd This song in particular is ska...

@Erdrak This is third wave ska. Music evolves; it’s not a big deal.

This song changes my life as a teen. Im so glad im remembered it and searched it! I cant believe I've never heard this on the radio
Colin Gordon
Not hearing it on the radio is kinda the whole point of ska music. I would be very disappointed to hear this on the radio.
Erin Hardy
Heard this for the first time in like 8 years and still knew every single word. Memories!
