Karpe Diem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We all stars, shining bright
You don't have to keep it complicated baby
Just keep it simple, stupid
K Diem, Yeah
Sun, Shine, Life, Smile,
Stars vivid, Hope reliving,
oughta stop while we're killing it.
'?
Get ahold of your dream so you scream til you keep on willing it.
And for the rest of them,
Son of light don't dance with the stars,
But i fuck with the best of them.
Æ reiste mæ gradvis, fra horisonten te himmel'n
Så gikk æ fra tragisk te magisk.
Æ e fra nord, så kall mæ polaris, ei vandrande stjærna
Langt ifra statisk.
Vi e født for det, Vi e pliktig,
Vi leve et liv kor alt vi sir og gjør e viktig.
Solstormen her e helt jævlig stærkt.
Og du veit æ fortsætt te æ blir bært av sektan.
Stjerner I øya mine svir I meg sinnsykt
Stjerner I øya mine svir I meg sinnsykt
Stjerner I øya mine svir I meg sinnsykt
Stjerner I øya mine svir I meg sinnsykt
Stjerner I øya mine svir I meg sinnsykt
(Jeg skinner jeg er klar som et forhold mellom meg og stjernene siden barndommen

Du har stolthet i øya dine, det har jeg og,
Folk kaller meg norsk raps Bjørn Eidsvåg
Folkets stolthet, aldri solgt en løgn,
Det du solgte i går, solgte jeg ut på et døgn
Det er en helhjerta flow
Jeg er på tv når de sier det er et helpacka show
Kunne ha fått chicks men kølla mi var slapp så
Ku-ku-ku-ku-krølla femti lapp y'all
I ain't gon make up shit, to say some shit,
They wanna know how we got broke and wake up rich
it makes no sense
all we gotta do is make one hit and thats it ah,
They wanna know how A-lee doing,
Its probably because of how i'm doing
i am like a bullet, that beat us the trigger
The sooner you pull it the sooner your'e through with your music career
Its noon.
