Shiet Slipmats du er gærn ass
Jaa9 Onklp hah en gang

Ey vi tar over den dritten her det er kriminelt
Her vi ruller opp noe sticky're enn spindelvev
Vi kommer og slår kåken din til pinneved
Bli'kke borte vi er akkurat som spillegjeld
Bare hold deg hjemme ha en innekveld

For det vi gjør det gjør vi smoothere enn en kvinnelegg
Pleide å hate men de kommer opp og gir meg fem
Slipper en låt eller to etter det blir dem glemt
Jævligste karen men ærlighet når langt
Jeg merker det e'kke mye mellom kjærlighet og hat
Bare rapper og rapper og det er kæber overalt
Klyper meg sjæl I armen det her e'kke normalt
Bare slapp av yo nå må'kke du få hetta
Vi er tilbake når dem trodde vi har jetta
Gi den tracken her direkte til selecta
Vi treffer rett I fletta knocker fliret deres rett av

Da vi kom inn til byen og gjorde deg til en bonde hvor var du da
Da vi sa det du så med en skarpere tunge hvor var du da
Da det kom to elefanter opp I det offentlige rommet hvor var du da

Du kjenner dritten vi ruller med sitter og drikker oss fullere
Med en tracklist du veit du ikke kan tulle med
Lever av det folka trodde ikke vi kunne det
Men sorry mac har ikke tenkt å flippe noen burgere
Bare sitter og bunner ned pils er ikke no sunnere
Skriver for de triste sekundene
Game time tar dritten og ruller det
Og hvem står igjen bak det siste vidunderet
Slipmats nå har du gjort det igjen
Hitmaskina gjør at vi kan fort tjene spenn
Men selv om vi ikke har no til saldo
Legger oss ikke å griner som Christiano Ronaldo
Livet mitt preges visst av eksklusive vaner
Du kun får av alkohol og destruktive damer
Vi har det det drøyeste harde
Dette er 9 og P I et øyeblikks klarhet

Da vi kom inn til byen og gjorde deg til en bonde hvor var du da

Da vi sa det du så med en skarpere tunge hvor var du da
Da det kom to elefanter opp I det offentlige rommet hvor var du da
