Khalid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
دول اغبية ودول بهايم، لازم المنطق يحل
كإن الواحد بيجاهد لوحده بين جموع تشل
او تعل انا بدل مش بعيب بستدل
سن سهم قوسى اتسن عَنك واتسمم م الماضى
دول بيقولوا ف ضهرى شئ وشئ مخالف لو قصادي
طاب حبيبي إصحالنا، عشان قديمنا اترمي لبرا
متسألش بيزي ليه، عندي الكارير اهم ديت
*معوزش غير دماغي، اما انت غبي فاضي ني
سهمي طالع زي تسلا، قاطع علي الإنيميز
دولا ميني مي، اسبت بارز تيكن از افيتامينز
كلكم سيم نفس الشئ صيني
دماغي زحمة زي بكين اسمي التوربيني
وانتي زي عادتك عايزاني بس بتعاندي بغباء
وانا ولا في الدماغ، عشان في كتير في الدماغ
ما لبيت ايه خليت ف مليت انا
منا صحيت ف بدليت كل شئ سرق
ام ان جيم منا نجيت دولا كيس ورق
عيشت الموت ارق، الإكتئاب فرق
لويال زي اونودا الحرب لو دارت ما اجلي
العيال دي فاضيه تهري، مش فاضيلك طول ما بجري
ضغط من كل اتجاه فـ هاخد منك بعد خلى
بعمل راب بطولى مش بخلي حد ف ضهري
جوكى بودانك يرتقي انتقي مليش انا ف الهرطقه
اسرقك بفلوهات مسبقه انزل ع البييت زي المطرقة
لو اُنتقد مش بيهم إطلاقا، مش زميل ف سخط
جه يميل ف سقط، علل ليه كل اما سبق؟
مش عايز الزحمه
عايز اتنين تلاته ف السحله
لا مش ههدي إلا اما يجيلي كتير م الاحلى
محدش كانلي كله مستنيلي سقطه
وانا اللقطة مش هنولهالك اصلا
انت فقرة
حدفوني بالإحباط ف التزمت بالتجاهل
التزمت بالتزامن مع الضغط والتجاوب
ف اتاكلت بالشك عشان مش بعمل السهل
جيت قصادي تدك، ضهرى فرصه لية بشكل!
ما لبيت ايه خليت ف مليت انا
منا صحيت ف بدليت كل شئ سرق
ام ان جيم منا نجيت دولا كيس ورق
عيشت الموت ارق، الإكتئاب فرق
دماغي تسيح بليل
تبقي تلج ع الضهر
باعت برقية فيها سب
بس قافلها ب مع الشكر
سهرت لوش الفجر اسجل
نازل بعد ساعة الشغل
نامي مصدع مش هرد
الدنيا صعبة علي الكل

Line by Line Meaning
عايش بين عالم مغيب و الكتير ف الإيد يقل
Living in a world of obscurity, with limited options
دول اغبية ودول بهايم، لازم المنطق يحل
Some people are foolish and ignorant, logic needs to prevail
كإن الواحد بيجاهد لوحده بين جموع تشل
It feels like one is struggling alone amidst overwhelming crowds
او تعل انا بدل مش بعيب بستدل
Or accept that I am different, it's not a flaw but an advantage
سن سهم قوسى اتسن عَنك واتسمم م الماضى
Like an arrow that missed its target and got poisoned by the past
دول بيقولوا ف ضهرى شئ وشئ مخالف لو قصادي
They speak ill of me behind my back, contrary to their actions towards me
طاب حبيبي إصحالنا، عشان قديمنا اترمي لبرا
They betrayed us, my dear, because our past was discarded
عشان كل اللي جاي بتاعي ورا القمة زي الكارما
Because everything that is coming is in my favor, just like karma
متسألش بيزي ليه، عندي الكارير اهم ديت
Don't ask me why, my career is my priority
*معوزش غير دماغي، اما انت غبي فاضي ني
I don't need anything except my mind, but you're foolish and empty
سهمي طالع زي تسلا، قاطع علي الإنيميز
My arrow is rising like Tesla, cutting through the enemies
دولا ميني مي، اسبت بارز تيكن از افيتامينز
They are just minnows, I'm a standout, taking vitamins
كلكم سيم نفس الشئ صيني
All of you are similar, like Chinese products
دماغي زحمة زي بكين اسمي التوربيني
My mind is crowded like Beijing, I'm the turbine
وانتي زي عادتك عايزاني بس بتعاندي بغباء
And you, as usual, want me but you resist foolishly
وانا ولا في الدماغ، عشان في كتير في الدماغ
And I'm not in the mood because there are many things on my mind
ما لبيت ايه خليت ف مليت انا
What did I find? I got tired and fed up
منا صحيت ف بدليت كل شئ سرق
I woke up and things got replaced, everything was stolen
ام ان جيم منا نجيت دولا كيس ورق
Or perhaps I survived because they were just paper bags
عيشت الموت ارق، الإكتئاب فرق
I experienced death's restlessness, depression made a difference
لويال زي اونودا الحرب لو دارت ما اجلي
If loyalty is like Oonoda in war, it will never leave
العيال دي فاضيه تهري، مش فاضيلك طول ما بجري
These people are idle, always in a rush, they don't care about you
ضغط من كل اتجاه فـ هاخد منك بعد خلى
Pressure from all directions, I'll take my share from you as well
بعمل راب بطولى مش بخلي حد ف ضهري
I do rap my way, not letting anyone stab me in the back
جوكى بودانك يرتقي انتقي مليش انا ف الهرطقه
Let your joke elevate yourself, I don't have time for foolishness
اسرقك بفلوهات مسبقه انزل ع البييت زي المطرقة
I steal your thunder with prewritten flows, hitting hard like a hammer
لو اُنتقد مش بيهم إطلاقا، مش زميل ف سخط
If criticized, it doesn't bother me at all, it's not a concern
جه يميل ف سقط، علل ليه كل اما سبق؟
If someone leans, they fall, explain why it happens every time?
مش عايز الزحمه
I don't want the hassle
عايز اتنين تلاته ف السحله
I want two or three in the queue
لا مش ههدي إلا اما يجيلي كتير م الاحلى
No, I won't settle until I get many better things
محدش كانلي كله مستنيلي سقطه
No one was there for me, they were all waiting for my downfall
وانا اللقطة مش هنولهالك اصلا
And I won't give you any chance at all
انت فقرة
You're just a segment
حدفوني بالإحباط ف التزمت بالتجاهل
They overwhelmed me with frustration, so I resorted to ignoring
التزمت بالتزامن مع الضغط والتجاوب
I complied in sync with the pressure and response
ف اتاكلت بالشك عشان مش بعمل السهل
So I became consumed by doubt because I don't take the easy way out
جيت قصادي تدك، ضهرى فرصه لية بشكل!
You came against me, targeting my back, why do I give you a chance at all!
دماغي تسيح بليل
My mind wanders at night
تبقي تلج ع الضهر
It becomes frozen on my back
باعت برقية فيها سب
She sold a telegram with insult
بس قافلها ب مع الشكر
But I closed it with thanks
سهرت لوش الفجر اسجل
I stayed awake until dawn to record
نازل بعد ساعة الشغل
Going down after an hour of work
نامي مصدع مش هرد
Sleeping with a headache, I won't come back
الدنيا صعبة علي الكل
The world is hard on everyone

Love to see you shine in the night like the diamond you are
(Love to see you shine in the night like the diamond you are)
I'm on the other side, it's alright, just hold me in the dark
(I'm on the other side, it's alright, just hold me in the dark)
No one's got to know what we do, hit me up when you're bored
(No one's got to know) Nah (what we do, hit me up when you're bored)
'Cause I live down the street, so we meet when you need it, it's yours
All I hear is
Nothin' feels better than this
Nothin' feels better
Nothin' feels better than this
Nothin' feels better, no, no
We don't gotta hide
This is what you like, I admit
Nothin' feels better than this
You say we're just friends but I swear when nobody's around
(You say we're just friends but I swear when nobody's around)
You keep my hand around your neck, we connect, are you feeling it now?
(Keep my hand around your neck) 'Cause I am (we connect, are you feeling it now?)
I got so high the other night, I swear to God, I felt my feet leave the ground
(I got so high the other night, I swear to God) Ooh yeah (felt my feet leave the ground)
Your back against the wall, this is all we've been talkin' about
In my ears
Nothin' feels better than this (no, no, no)
Nothin' feels better
Nothin' feels better than this
Nothin' feels better, no, no
We don't got to hide
This is what you like, I admit
Nothin' feels better than this
Now, left, right, left, right
Take it back, bring it side to side
Like that, like that, ayy
Ooh, now, left, right, left, right
Take it back, bring it side to side
Like
Nothin' feels better than this
Nothin' feels better
Nothin' feels better than this
(Nothin' feels better) Oh, no, no
(We don't got to hide) Hide
(This is what you like) Ooh (I admit)
Nothin' feels better than this, ooh
(Better than this)
