JUJU Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mul on messissä laskut ja krapula (taas!)
Ja et pääsen eroon niist, syön kolme tuhat xanorii
Mässyihin syön kolkytkolmetuhat kalorii
Joskus tuntuu et mul on pohjaton vatsa
Ja joku päivä musta vielä tehdään se patsas
Eka mies joka kuoli siihen överipajariin
Ja toka mies joka kuoli vei mun överipajanii
Mä selitän nyt miten mun hommat oikein menee
Puolet mennee taskuu ja puolet mennee suuhun
Ku puolet mennee laskuihin, puolet menee muuhu
Mä oon se ilkeempi omatunto sen kiltimmän vaatteis
Timmimpi omakunto viel chillimmän aatteis
Siks ei riitää vaa et on villei nää naiset
Miks aina pitää jumalauta, pillittää kaikest
Oon tyytyväinen siihen ettei mul o yhtää mitää
Oon tyytyväinen siihen ettei tarvi tehdä mitään
Mun ei tarvi tehä mitään, mitä en halua
Ja taitaa olla niin ettei tästä ole paluuta
Oon syvällä ja vielä matkal kohti kiinaa
Niinku tää biisi, tää on yhtä piinaa
Juju tarvii lisää viinaa, Juju tarvii lisää viivaa
Juju tarvii pikkasen lisää sitä shiivaa
Mä en ole vielä valmis
Mut tää viimeinen matka saattaa koituu vielä kalliiks
Otetaan koodit jos tarvis
Mut mä en tosiaankaan yritä olla sun roolimallis
En tosiaankaa mut mun pitää jatkaa
Mis on mun safka ja mis on mun levylafkaa
Oliko uutinen no no aijaa
Kaikki täs skenessä puhuu vaa vitu paskaa
Tuskimpa natsaa-a laihduta vatsaa-a
Kylkiluut näkyy jo ja meikä vaa jaksaa-a
Mut tunnetaan näis porukoissa lipujana
Tä-tä-tä sama jannu joka vetää kipukamaa
Elämän mitta on sama kun pöydäl toi vipujana
Loppupeleis kaikki on vaa iha vitun sama
Mä en tee näit sääntöjä, mä keksin omat
Mä teen näit kääntöjä, nyt pepsi nokas
On ollut vääntöjä ja pleksi pokat
Niinku Irakissa kohta lähtee veks ne sokat
No tuu sit katsoo mikä meininki näillä on
No oonko sekasin ku en tiedä edes mikä päivä on
Mä voin kyl olla sun luottamusmies
Mut jos sä kuset hommat niin se on kuolemantuottamusmies
Ketäpä kiinnosti, no varmaan sit kiviä
Haluun arvostusta kohta alkaa putoo nimiä (kohta alkaa putoon nimiä)
Pudotan pään ja pudotan toisen
Kurotan nään sen vitun loisen
Tunnen valoisen olon sisälläni sisäl pääni
Oon saamas sen kiinni sen naamasta irti revin
Raakaa ku repee sen sisäelin revin sen halki revin sen auki
Niinku taudin revin ja nautin et saan oloni auliiks
Et saan oloni kauniiks nautiks
Mun on aika saada kaikki, mul on kaikki sitte pistää pantiks
In the first verse of Juju's song "22 Intro," he paints a picture of a life of excess and escape tactics from his problems. He talks about having empty pockets as his accomplice, trying to avoid his bills and hangovers by consuming three thousand Xanax pills and thirty-three thousand calories of junk food. He mentions feeling like he has a bottomless stomach and jokes about becoming a statue one day, as the first man to die from an overdose in the club and the second man to die from a drug binge both took place in his "overdose workshop." Later in the verse, he admits to being the more unscrupulous conscience to his friend's more lawful morals, and comments on how women cry over nothing too much. He then ends the verse by speaking of his contentment with not having anything to do that he doesn't want to do and how there might be no turning back from his current path.
The second verse of "22 Intro" in Juju's song is a bit more aggressive and talkative. He mentions his food and his record label, brushing off any news he may have heard in the industry. He talks about his weight loss, but hardly sees it as an achievement, as his drugs and painkillers are all-consuming. Then he references himself as an outcast and a druggie, who associates with something of a druggie junkie. The duration of life is a ticking clock, and in the end, everything is the same. He makes his rules and lies, all while feeling youthful but knowing that his reputation is taking a hit. He is straightforward in his intentions, willing to be someone's go-to guy, but if they cheat, he'll become a death-bringer. He ends this verse by telling whomever is listening to take note because some names may fall too soon.
Line by Line Meaning
Mul on tyhjät taskut mun apuna, miks turhaan kavuta
I have empty pockets, no use climbing unnecessarily
Mul on messissä laskut ja krapula (taas!)
I have bills to pay and a hangover again
Ja et pääsen eroon niist, syön kolme tuhat xanorii
And since I can't get rid of them, I swallow three thousand Xanors
Mässyihin syön kolkytkolmetuhat kalorii
I consume thirty-three thousand calories in snacks
Joskus tuntuu et mul on pohjaton vatsa
Sometimes it feels like I have an insatiable appetite
Ja joku päivä musta vielä tehdään se patsas
And one day I might even become a statue
Eka mies joka kuoli siihen överipajariin
The first man who died from an overdose in that nightclub
Ja toka mies joka kuoli vei mun överipajanii
And the second man who died took my place in that nightclub
Pelitä nyt mun täytyy tulla teidän eteen
Now I have to come in front of you and explain my situation
Mä selitän nyt miten mun hommat oikein menee
I'll explain how my things work
Puolet mennee taskuu ja puolet mennee suuhun
Half goes into my pocket and half goes into my mouth
Ku puolet mennee laskuihin, puolet menee muuhu
As half goes to bills, half goes to other things
Mä oon se ilkeempi omatunto sen kiltimmän vaatteis
I am the meaner conscience in those kinder clothes
Timmimpi omakunto viel chillimmän aatteis
A tighter conscience with even cooler thoughts
Siks ei riitää vaa et on villei nää naiset
That's why it's not enough to have these wild women
Miks aina pitää jumalauta, pillittää kaikest
Why does one always have to cry about everything?
Oon tyytyväinen siihen ettei mul o yhtää mitää
I am satisfied with having nothing
Oon tyytyväinen siihen ettei tarvi tehdä mitään
I am satisfied with not having to do anything
Mun ei tarvi tehä mitään, mitä en halua
I don't have to do anything I don't want to
Ja taitaa olla niin ettei tästä ole paluuta
And it seems there is no turning back
Oon syvällä ja vielä matkal kohti kiinaa
I am deep into the journey towards China
Niinku tää biisi, tää on yhtä piinaa
Like this song, it's all agony
Juju tarvii lisää viinaa, Juju tarvii lisää viivaa
Juju needs more booze, Juju needs more lines
Juju tarvii pikkasen lisää sitä shiivaa
Juju needs a little more of that drive
Mä en ole vielä valmis
I am not yet ready
Mut tää viimeinen matka saattaa koituu vielä kalliiks
But this last journey might end up being expensive
Otetaan koodit jos tarvis
Let's exchange codes if necessary
Mut mä en tosiaankaan yritä olla sun roolimallis
But I'm definitely not trying to be your role model
En tosiaankaa mut mun pitää jatkaa
I really do, I have to continue
Mis on mun safka ja mis on mun levylafkaa
Where is my food and where is my record store?
Oliko uutinen no no aijaa
Was that news? No no, I see
Kaikki täs skenessä puhuu vaa vitu paskaa
Everyone in this scene talks bullshit
Tuskimpa natsaa-a laihduta vatsaa-a
It's not likely that I'll lose my stomach weight
Kylkiluut näkyy jo ja meikä vaa jaksaa-a
I can already see my ribs and I just keep going
Mut tunnetaan näis porukoissa lipujana
But I'm known in these circles as a partygoer
Tä-tä-tä sama jannu joka vetää kipukamaa
The same guy who does drugs
Elämän mitta on sama kun pöydäl toi vipujana
The measure of life is the same as that lever on the table
Loppupeleis kaikki on vaa iha vitun sama
In the end, everything is just fucking the same
Mä en tee näit sääntöjä, mä keksin omat
I don't follow these rules, I make my own
Mä teen näit kääntöjä, nyt pepsi nokas
I make these turns, now Pepsi on my nose
On ollut vääntöjä ja pleksi pokat
There have been struggles and broken windows
Niinku Irakissa kohta lähtee veks ne sokat
Like in Iraq, soon those blinds will be gone
No tuu sit katsoo mikä meininki näillä on
Well come see what the deal is on this
No oonko sekasin ku en tiedä edes mikä päivä on
Am I crazy that I don't even know what day it is?
Mä voin kyl olla sun luottamusmies
I could be your trusted representative
Mut jos sä kuset hommat niin se on kuolemantuottamusmies
But if you fuck up the business, it's a death-causing man
Ketäpä kiinnosti, no varmaan sit kiviä
Who cared, probably just the stones
Haluun arvostusta kohta alkaa putoo nimiä
I want respect soon the names will start to drop
Pudotan pään ja pudotan toisen
I drop one head and then the other
Kurotan nään sen vitun loisen
I reach out and see that fucking pest
Tunnen valoisen olon sisälläni sisäl pääni
I feel a bright feeling inside my head
Oon saamas sen kiinni sen naamasta irti revin
I'm catching it and tearing it off its face
Raakaa ku repee sen sisäelin revin sen halki revin sen auki
Brutal as it tears its insides apart and opens it up
Niinku taudin revin ja nautin et saan oloni auliiks
Like a disease, I enjoy making myself feel generous
Et saan oloni kauniiks nautiks
To feel beautiful and enjoy
Mun on aika saada kaikki, mul on kaikki sitte pistää pantiks
It's my time to get everything, then put it in hock
