Har det som jeg har det, jeg har ikk' brug for nogen
Jeg har det som jeg har det, jeg har ikk' brug for nogen (wuh)
Jeg har ikk' brug for nogen
Jeg har det som jeg har det, jeg har ikk' brug for nogen
Har det som jeg har det, jeg har ikk' brug for nogen (aaaay)
Har det som jeg har det, jeg har ikk' brug for nogen
Og hendes primo er min adam i Sevilla
Svigermor vil gerne ha' en niña
Men min dodo ringer, brormand, ka' ikk' bli' her
Hun siger, "te amo, te amo"
"Te amo, te amo"
Hun siger, "te amo, te amo"
"Te amo, te amo"
Hva' de mangler, vi har de-eee-et
Har vi ikk', bror, vi ta'r de-eee-et
Bare ring - Kiko suave
Altid på farten
Folk ta'r götten på hinanden, jeg ved ikk' hvorfor
Stoler på familien, stoler ikk' på mennesker
Allesammen skifter, når de har det godt (når de har det godt)
For min dodo den si'r, "brr-brr"
Og deres gabus den si'r, "gang-gang"
Og folk de vil kø-øøø-øb'
Men de' for langsom'
For min dodo den si'r, "brr-brr"
Og deres gabus den si'r, "gang-gang"
Og folk de vil kø-øøø-øb'
Men de' for langsom'
Og min brormand gi'r mig klumpen nede fra Tanger
Han si'r hans BB, ja, den bugner med kontakter
Så jeg ved, at de har, hva' du står og mangler
For det går hurtigt heromkring, og du' for langsom
Han si'r, "ta lahon ta lahon"
"Ta lahon ta lahon"
"Ta lahon ta lahon"
"Ta lahon ta lahon"
Hva' de mangler, vi har de-eee-et'
Har vi ikk', bror vi ta'r de-eee-et'
Bare ring - Kiko suave
Altid på farten
Folk ta'r götten på hinanden, jeg ved ikk' hvorfor
Stoler på familien, stoler ikk' på mennesker
Allesammen skifter, når de har det godt (når de har det godt)
For min dodo den si'r, "brr-brr"
Og deres gabus den si'r, "gang-gang"
Og folk de vil kø-øøø-øb'
Men de' for langsom'
For min dodo den si'r, "brr-brr"
Og deres gabus den si'r, "gang-gang"
Og folk de vil kø-øøø-øb'
Men de' for langsom'
Wie-wie-wie-wie-wiew
Hver dag i kvarteret, det' det sam'-sam'
Wie-wie-wie-wie-wie-wie-wie
Aldrig forretning heromkring, det' det sam'-sam'

The song Langsom, by Gilli, is about his experience growing up in his neighborhood, where he has everything he needs, including the love of his mother, the support of his family, and a group of close friends who have connections and can help him get anything he needs. He talks about the importance of not trusting people and relying on family only, as people tend to shift loyalties when it benefits them. He further describes how everyone is always on the go, and if you are not fast enough, you will be left behind in the neighbourhood’s competitive market.
The song reflects the lifestyle of young people in the urban area of Denmark, where the culture is characterized by hustling, egocentrism, and fast-paced living. Gilli highlights the importance of family, connections, and loyalty in a community where individuals have to fend for themselves in a highly competitive environment. The lyrics are delivered in a street-wise language that many young people in Denmark can relate to and resonate with.
