Mikrofon
Kosta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kar je pridobljeno, je kasneje tud razdeljeno,
Na enake dele, da med kolegi ne bo pene,
Loh pa pride do zamere, keš povzroča probleme.
Ekipe, ki jih poznam, so skupi sam iz navade,
Vsak ma svoje ideje in razvade, kok jih razpade,
Zato jaz furam solo, ker hočem več kot tolo,
To je devet v rezervi, en patron leži v cevi,
Lahko razbijem, tko se servira zadevi,
Mikrofon pomaga, filozofija se tko razlaga,
Kam se energija vlaga, tam se vedno zmaga.
Se omaga? Ne, polaga se nova pot,
Rad bi vidu, da bi tole tle priznal vsepovsod,
Kdo je gospod, prihajamo v vaše gospodinjstvo,
Propagiram hip hop, k Jugi da svoje edinstvo...
Držim se mikrofona...
Nikol ga ne spustim...
Še vedno hočte še,
Še vedno date roke gor, ker me razumete,
Še vedno rime štekate, zato se derete,
Še vedno furate naprej, ne ustavmo se.
Eeee, kako že gre?
Repam zase in za svoje ljudi, slike preteklosti,
Držim se mikrofona, hočem videt se v prihodnosti,
Tok prednosti, Supa naj repajo čist vsi,
Naj povejo naglas, kaj jim na duši leži.
Poglej mene, jest ne mislim hip hopa, ne jest ga živim,
Ko držim ta majk v roki, svoj nemir umirim,
Ko prepopisan list, rime iz mene letijo,
Težave te doletijo, sam malokrat kaj naučijo.
Zdej pa furam manifest, dvigam roko v protest,
Živim v svetu komformizma, moram tole narest,
Stisn pest, mene ni strah it v arest,
Ce grejo komu rime v nos, me zato ne peče vest,
Ker dobr ve ves moj rajon, da ko K prime mikrofon,
Za en študentski bon, pelem viši kot avion,
Loh pozabim na bonton, zviši me za en ton,
Predstavljam sebe, hip hop, ulce in pa mestni beton.
Držim se mikrofona...
Držim se mikrofona...
Nikol ga ne spustim...
Še vedno hočte še,
Še vedno date roke gor, ker me razumete,
Še vedno rime štekate, zato se derete,
Še vedno furate naprej, ne ustavmo se.
Eeee, kako že gre?
In "Mikrofon," Kosta reflects on his experiences in the music industry and the importance of staying true to himself. He emphasizes the need for transparency and fairness among colleagues, cautioning against the negative effects of money on relationships. He observes the tendency of groups to falter due to individual differences, but he chooses to pursue his goals as a solo artist. The microphone serves as his outlet to express his philosophy and to highlight the importance of putting one's energy into areas where success is possible.
Kosta uses his platform to espouse social commentary and to promote unity among hip hop communities. He expresses his desire to represent both himself and his listeners, whom he refers to as his "people." He draws a parallel between his passion for music and the need to maintain a connection to the past while staying focused on the future. He also acknowledges the struggle of living in a conformist society and the necessity of using one's voice to speak up for what is right, even when faced with opposition.
Line by Line Meaning
Moje mnenje je, da delo mora bit opredeljeno,
My opinion is that work must be defined.
Kar je pridobljeno, je kasneje tud razdeljeno,
What is gained, is later divided.
Na enake dele, da med kolegi ne bo pene,
Equally distributed, so there is no resentment among colleagues.
Loh pa pride do zamere, keš povzroča probleme.
But there can be resentment, cash causes problems.
Ekipe, ki jih poznam, so skupi sam iz navade,
The teams I know, are only together out of habit.
Vsak ma svoje ideje in razvade, kok jih razpade,
Everyone has their own ideas and habits, that's why they fall apart.
Zato jaz furam solo, ker hočem več kot tolo,
That’s why I am going solo, because I want more than that.
Ko mi zmanjka rim, naloudam majk z novo futrolo.
When I run out of rhymes, I reload with a new case.
To je devet v rezervi, en patron leži v cevi,
This is nine in reserve, one patron lying in the tube.
Lahko razbijem, tko se servira zadevi,
I can break it down, that's how the matter is served.
Mikrofon pomaga, filozofija se tko razlaga,
The microphone helps, the philosophy is explained.
Kam se energija vlaga, tam se vedno zmaga.
Where energy is invested, there is always a victory.
Se omaga? Ne, polaga se nova pot,
Do we slacken? No, a new path is laid.
Rad bi vidu, da bi tole tle priznal vsepovsod,
I would like to see this admitted everywhere.
Kdo je gospod, prihajamo v vaše gospodinjstvo,
Who's the man? We are coming into your household.
Propagiram hip hop, k Jugi da svoje edinstvo...
I am promoting hip hop, so Yugoslavia has its unity...
Držim se mikrofona...
I hold onto the microphone...
Nikol ga ne spustim...
I never let go of it...
Še vedno hočte še,
You still want more,
Še vedno date roke gor, ker me razumete,
You still put your hands up, because you understand me,
Še vedno rime štekate, zato se derete,
You still understand the rhymes, that's why you shout,
Še vedno furate naprej, ne ustavmo se.
You still carry on, we don't stop.
Repam zase in za svoje ljudi, slike preteklosti,
I rap for myself and for my people, images of the past,
Držim se mikrofona, hočem videt se v prihodnosti,
I hold onto the microphone, I want to see myself in the future,
Tok prednosti, Supa naj repajo čist vsi,
So many advantages, Supa should be rapped by everyone,
Naj povejo naglas, kaj jim na duši leži.
Let them say out loud, what’s on their minds.
Poglej mene, jest ne mislim hip hopa, ne jest ga živim,
Look at me, I don't just think hip hop, I live it,
Ko držim ta majk v roki, svoj nemir umirim,
When I hold this mic in my hand, I calm my restlessness.
Ko prepopisan list, rime iz mene letijo,
When a brand new page, the rhymes fly out of me,
Težave te doletijo, sam malokrat kaj naučijo.
Problems come your way, but you learn very little.
Zdej pa furam manifest, dvigam roko v protest,
Now I'm running a manifesto, raising my hand in protest,
Živim v svetu komformizma, moram tole narest,
I live in a world of conformism, I have to do this,
Stisn pest, mene ni strah it v arest,
Clench your fist, I'm not afraid to go to jail,
Ce grejo komu rime v nos, me zato ne peče vest.
If someone doesn't like my rhymes, I don't feel guilty about it.
Ker dobr ve ves moj rajon, da ko K prime mikrofon,
Because everyone in my neighborhood knows that when K grabs the mic,
Za en študentski bon, pelem viši kot avion,
For one student voucher, I take you higher than an airplane,
Loh pozabim na bonton, zviši me za en ton,
I can forget about manners, it raises me by one tone,
Predstavljam sebe, hip hop, ulce in pa mestni beton.
I represent myself, hip hop, the streets and the city concrete.
Držim se mikrofona...
I hold onto the microphone...
Držim se mikrofona...
I hold onto the microphone...
Nikol ga ne spustim...
I never let go of it...
Še vedno hočte še,
You still want more,
Še vedno date roke gor, ker me razumete,
You still put your hands up, because you understand me,
Še vedno rime štekate, zato se derete,
You still understand the rhymes, that's why you shout,
Še vedno furate naprej, ne ustavmo se.
You still carry on, we don't stop.
Eeee, kako že gre?
Eeee, how does it go again?
