Словно в старой видео игре!
Восемь бит и все они
Летят тебе по голове!
Если я играю то тузы
Танцуют в рукаве!
Здесь для тебя дороги нет!
Наслаждаюсь бойней
Словно в старой видео игре!
Восемь бит и все они
Летят тебе по голове!
Если я играю то тузы
Танцуют в рукаве!
У меня есть все читы
Здесь для тебя дороги нет!
Залетает мент а а! а а!
Широкоплечий!
Ну ка на отведай картечи
Я наношу увечья!
Кончились мозги от гречи
Я конкретно не долечен!
Твой веселый трупп
Надежно в землю засекречен йау!
В моих руках всё оружие
Пусть это тамагочи!
Я могучий ёбнутый до кучи
Вас я буду мучать!
Лучше не кричи
Пусть в жопе остаются кирпичи!
Я всё равно найдут тебя
Ведь вас давно заметили!
За рулем машины машина
Что лопаются шины!
Пешеходы в ахуе тогда
Когда еще живые!
Красный цвет как для быка привет
А значит винегрет!
Я никогда не сплю а если сплю на мне бронежилет!
Пусть постепенно стул мой измена
Я выбираю грязный путь!
Без пистолета ты не ракета
Нехуй тут парень пальцы гнуть!
Мой потенциал потанцевал
На могилах ваших сук!
Мой потенциал потанцевал
На могилах ваших сук!
These lyrics are from the song "1993" by D-Stroy featuring Pharoahe Monch. The song has a nostalgic feel, referencing old video games and the aggressive energy of fighting games. The first verse talks about enjoying the mayhem and violence as if in an old video game, with references to getting hit on the head with eight beats. The second verse continues the theme of playing the game, with the artist boasting about having all the cheats and no path for the opponent to escape.
The chorus repeats the enjoyment of the violence and the reference to a video game, with the artist asserting that if he plays, the aces will dance in his sleeve, symbolizing his dominance. He also declares that he has all the cheats and that there is no way out for the opponent.
In the third verse, the artist switches to a more aggressive tone, mentioning a "cop" and suggesting that he is tough and ready to fight. He talks about causing harm and that his opponent's brain is fried. He mocks his opponent's group, saying they are securely hidden in the ground.
The fourth verse brings back the video game references. He talks about having all the weapons in his hands, comparing it to a Tamagotchi, a popular virtual pet toy in the 90s. He asserts his power and craziness, stating that he will torture his opponents. He also warns against screaming, as it will only leave bricks in one's rear end. He confidently claims that he will find his opponents, as they have long been noticed.
Overall, these lyrics capture a sense of both nostalgia for old video games and the aggression and dominance associated with competitive games and real-life conflicts.

Наслаждаюсь бойней
I derive pleasure from fighting
Словно в старой видео игре!
As if in an old video game!
Восемь бит и все они
Eight beats and all of them
Летят тебе по голове!
Fly towards your head!
Если я играю то тузы
If I play, then aces
Танцуют в рукаве!
Dance up my sleeve!
У меня есть все читы
I have all the cheats
Здесь для тебя дороги нет!
There is no way for you here!
Залетает мент а а! а а!
The cop swoops in, ah ah! ah ah!
Широкоплечий!
Broad-shouldered!
Ну ка на отведай картечи
Come on, taste buckshot
Я наношу увечья!
I inflict injuries!
Кончились мозги от гречи
Your brains are fried from weed
Я конкретно не долечен!
I'm not entirely sane!
Твой веселый трупп
Your merry troupe
Надежно в землю засекречен йау!
Securely buried in the ground, yeah!
В моих руках всё оружие
All the weapons are in my hands
Пусть это тамагочи!
Let it be a tamagotchi!
Я могучий ёбнутый до кучи
I'm mighty and crazy as hell
Вас я буду мучать!
I will torment you!
Лучше не кричи
It's better not to scream
Пусть в жопе остаются кирпичи!
Let the bricks stay in your ass!
Я всё равно найдут тебя
I'll still find you
Ведь вас давно заметили!
Because you've been noticed for a long time!
За рулем машины машина
Behind the wheel, the machine
Что лопаются шины!
That bursts the tires!
Пешеходы в ахуе тогда
Pedestrians are in awe then
Когда еще живые!
When they're still alive!
Красный цвет как для быка привет
Red color, like a greeting to a bull
А значит винегрет!
And that means a salad!
Я никогда не сплю а если сплю на мне бронежилет!
I never sleep, and if I do, I wear a bulletproof vest!
Пусть постепенно стул мой измена
Let my stool gradually betray me
Я выбираю грязный путь!
I choose the dirty path!
Без пистолета ты не ракета
Without a gun, you're not a rocket
Нехуй тут парень пальцы гнуть!
Don't try to twist fingers here, boy!
Мой потенциал потанцевал
My potential danced
На могилах ваших сук!
On your graves, bitches!
Мой потенциал потанцевал
My potential danced
На могилах ваших сук!
On your graves, bitches!
