Last Laugh
Jack Parow Lyrics

I grew up never being that fucking cool
I did not have a cool image while growing up.

I grew up fucking being bullied at school
I was subject to bullying during my childhood.

I grew up always being shit out of luck
I had no luck while growing up.

I grew up tied up, trying to get unstuck
I was stuck while growing up and had to try hard to get out.

I was a fucking nerd fucking most of my life
I was a nerd for most parts of my life, always studying.

playing tv games alone at home every night
I didn't have many friends and played video games alone most nights.

too many pimples, too overweight
I had too many pimples and was overweight.

no cute dimples nose not quite straight
I did not have a perfect appearance.

small fucking house in the wrong side of town
I lived in a small house in the wrong part of town.

never ever up, mostly fucking down
I was not successful, and mostly had failures.

no fancy labels, no nice swimming pool
I did not have any luxurious items or facilities.

no mom in a beamer to pick me up from school
My mother did not come to pick me up from school in a luxurious car.

took all the punches but never got the girl
I took all the abuse and bullying but never got the girl.

only cash and carry lunches and allergy pills
I only had cash and carry lunches and had to take allergy pills.

the boy with the middle path middle-class life
I led a middle-class life without any extremes.

the boy on the edge of a sharp fucking knife
I was on the edge of disaster, unsure about my future.

ha ha ha ha ha, who's got the last laugh?
I am now victorious and want to know who is laughing last.

ha ha ha ha ha, move like a giraffe
I am now confident and moving gracefully like a giraffe.

ha ha ha ha ha, this is for the losers
This song is dedicated to those who lost at some point in their lives.

ha ha ha ha ha, fuck all the cool kids
I don't care about the cool kids and their opinions anymore.

Girls never really gave two fucking looks
Girls never paid any attention to me.

I never really looked like those ous in the books
I was not like the famous people I read about.

more horatio caine than brad fucking pitt
I resembled Horatio Caine more than Brad Pitt.

less pat lambie a little more johnny smit
I was less like Pat Lambie and more like Johnny Smit.

everyone had nikes, I had no name skooner
Everyone had branded sneakers, but I had non-branded ones.

everyone had bikes, I drove a fucking scooter
Everyone had bikes, but I had to use a scooter.

I had peanut butter, no fucking Nutella
I could not afford Nutella and had to settle for peanut butter.

my first fucking car was a peach Ford Sierra
My first car was a peach-colored Ford Sierra.

peroxide in my hair, it came out yellow
I tried peroxide in my hair, but it came out yellow.

everyone had Côte d'Or, I had marshmallows
Everyone had luxury chocolate, but I had marshmallows.

I was always picked last at physical ed
I was always picked last in sports and physical activities.

I once got held down and fed stale bread
I was once held down by others who fed me stale bread.

life of embarrassment, torment, and dread
My life was full of shame, pain, and fear.

by the end of high school I was half fucking dead
By the end of high school, I was half-alive and half-dead, with no hope.

stayed away from cool kids, made friends with my parents
I did not hang out with cool kids and made friends with my parents instead.

spent every night writing lyrics instead
I spent all my free time writing rap lyrics.

So luckily I grew up, threw up, and forgot
Luckily, I grew up, vomited, and forgot all the bad memories.

listened to Wu tang, Easy e, and big Snoop Dog
I found solace in listening to rap music from Wu Tang, Easy E, and Big Snoop Dog.

everything slowly got less confusing
Things started to make sense, and confusion began to disappear.

I found all my friends in fucking rap music
I found my friends and solace in rap music.

slowly but surely I lifted from the ash
I rose from the ashes of my past, little by little.

found my inspiration in brandy and hash
I found my inspiration in drinking brandy and smoking hash.

so I fucking grew up fucking drew up some raps
I grew up and started writing rap rhymes.

starting wearing a vest and a long fucking cap
I started wearing a vest and a long cap.

rose to the top, the next fucking level
I became successful and rose to the next level of fame.

left the fucking punches for the bass and the treble
I stopped taking punches and shifted my focus to music creation.

left the kak for the lekker, the pain for the fun
I left the bad experiences behind and embraced the good ones.

now when i go on stage the kinners go blam
Now when I perform on stage, people are blown away.

no more bullies, no more shame
I no longer face bullies and shame.

no more teasing I'm kak fokkin mijn
I am no longer teased and feel great.

this is for the poes who beat me up elke dag
This song is dedicated to the people who used to beat me up every day.

enjoy your fucking life, parow's got the last lag
Now, enjoy your life while I am enjoying my success.
