General Echo Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ödü patlarsa yemez aga kaskon beni
Git odana ki kaderine hapsol geri
Senin nefes alman kirletiyo atmosferi
Yeni karışımı rap alışını tek
Becerebilir o piyasaya geri geri dalışını
Af dilerse belkide barışırım
Uzi hepsini paklar
Lan ahmak bir dakka inanmam bi yandan zinalar
Bende tuğla gibi rhyme eder binalar
Hiphop tilki misali inerdi karanlık bir dağdan
Oda neyin nesi sakın bana değinmesin
De ki yere eğilmesin gözün tiki seyirmesi
Dolu iki beyindesin konu licky wayne sesi
Aşık olduğun kadının gece sana geğirmesi
(KOBİ)
Zehirli gücüm ama Arnold gibi
Ense köküne tag yap Barkot biri
Garip Harlot biri manik Malcom biri
Falına renk veren büyülü Tarrot gibi dimi
Denyonun ezberi bozuk
Uzi ihale alır ama bu da son kozu
Tozu dumana katar evini bulana kadar
Eceli kapına getirip verir ona high dozu
Kendine gel bide silkin
Beni tanımayan herkes bu da kim ki
Der tabi Uzi para köpeği değil
Elinde maykla deneme prova deneme bir iki
Bu piyasanın yolları dar ama
Daha önemli hiphop benim için tonla paradan
Kiminin amacıda fameleri yalama
Kim patron kim kolpa kim şerefli bir maraba
NAKARAT
Veriyorum halen emek
Uzi vadesiz hayatta vade demek
Rap sokakta aç gezene bir umuttur
Doyuruyor bazen evet
Bu adama maskot derim
I call him a mascot
Ödü patlarsa yemez aga kaskon beni
He won't eat me if his insurance explodes
Git odana ki kaderine hapsol geri
Go back to your room and be imprisoned by fate
Senin nefes alman kirletiyo atmosferi
Your breathing is polluting the atmosphere
Yeni karışımı rap alışını tek
His new rap style is unique
Becerebilir o piyasaya geri geri dalışını
He can make a comeback into the market
Af dilerse belkide barışırım
If he apologizes, we might reconcile
Bana farketmez esmeri sarışını
For me, it doesn't matter if she's dark or blond
Uzi hepsini paklar
Uzi packs them all
Lan ahmak bir dakka inanmam bi yandan zinalar
I don't believe anything for a second, some deceive with lies
Bende tuğla gibi rhyme eder binalar
I can make buildings rhyme like bricks
Hiphop tilki misali inerdi karanlık bir dağdan
Hip hop descends from the dark mountains like a fox
Oda neyin nesi sakın bana değinmesin
Don't let him touch me, who knows what he's capable of
De ki yere eğilmesin gözün tiki seyirmesi
Say, he shouldn't bow down, his eyes are twitching nervously
Dolu iki beyindesin konu licky wayne sesi
You have two full brains, but can't speak a lick like Lil Wayne
Aşık olduğun kadının gece sana geğirmesi
The woman you are in love with vomits on you at night
(KOBİ)
Zehirli gücüm ama Arnold gibi
My power is toxic, but like Arnold
Ense köküne tag yap Barkot biri
Barkot is tagging the nape of the neck
Garip Harlot biri manik Malcom biri
One is a strange Harlot, the other a manic Malcolm
Falına renk veren büyülü Tarrot gibi dimi
Like the magical Tarot that gives color to fate
Denyonun ezberi bozuk
Denyo's memory is messed up
Uzi ihale alır ama bu da son kozu
Uzi wins the tender, but this is his last card
Tozu dumana katar evini bulana kadar
He causes chaos until he finds his home
Eceli kapına getirip verir ona high dozu
Death knocks on his door and gives him a high-dose
Kendine gel bide silkin
Wake up and shake yourself
Beni tanımayan herkes bu da kim ki
Everyone who doesn't know me wonders who I am
Der tabi Uzi para köpeği değil
Of course, Uzi's not a money-hungry dog
Elinde maykla deneme prova deneme bir iki
Try the microphone in your hand, practice one or two times
Bu piyasanın yolları dar ama
The roads of this market are narrow, but
Daha önemli hiphop benim için tonla paradan
Hip hop is more important to me than tons of money
Kiminin amacıda fameleri yalama
Some people's only goal is to lick up the fame
Kim patron kim kolpa kim şerefli bir maraba
Who's the boss, who's a scammer, who's an honorable servant
NAKARAT
Veriyorum halen emek
I'm still putting in the effort
Uzi vadesiz hayatta vade demek
Uzi says life has no timeline
Rap sokakta aç gezene bir umuttur
Rap is hope for the hungry who roam the streets
Doyuruyor bazen evet
It does, sometimes

Listening in 2023 RIP DAD 5/4/2023 reflecting on records played yester year. Great music
@Fddlstxx
Sister Nancy cited this as the first major raggae / dancehall smash hit. bass line is smooth, lyrics are cute, delivery is flossy, truly a classic for the ages and the progenitor of a the cultural proliferation of rhythms into (for betta or worst) western music / pop culture
@donphoenix2113
The first dancehall entertainer to have Jamaicans in the palm of his hands. To this day he was never given the recognition he justly deserved because he wasn't able to live out his legacy. Still listening in 2020 #TheFirstKingOfDancehall
