Ortens favoriter
Labyrint Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Norra botkyrka, shit va tiden går bre.
Kan inte fatta att jag flytta hit för mer än 10 år sen.
Sett brorsan bli, sönderstucken med kniv i området.
Har sätt grabbar växa upp från att beckna zut till att spreja fritidsgården.
Betongen????? hamna jag där, om jag chillar i malmö jag chillar helst på Ramels Väg.
Känns som g-sunda annorlunda men samma som här, utanförskaps gemenskapen som invandrare bär.
Men även knega svennar, ensamma mammor och gängmedlemmar.
Tid har gått, många bilar brända men inget har ändrats.
Om jag chillar i GBG jag chillar i Angered eller Bergsjön, Backa, Biskop och alla jag inte hann me.
För vi är alla lika sammanslutna???? med varandra.
Råslätt, Ersboda, Årby, Råby, Vivalla
Alla som visar kärlek för dom relaterar, värmer innuti för mitt folk samlas när vi spelar.

Pass på era recensioner och priser, skiter i för vi är Ortens favoriter! X2
Alla vet, finns inga flos i musiken men de e lugnt, så länge vi är: Ortens favoriter! x2

Du kan catcha mig i alby på höjden där jag vandrar eller käkar falafel med grabbarna på jallajalla
Möllevången, Sofielund, Rosengård vi tar oss runt.
Lindängen vad händer? Vi drar till Nydala och hänger och festar med vänner, många nya oxå folk man inte känner.
Men ändå känner på nåt sätt, eyo fan va fett.
Vi kommer till orten och får kärlek direkt. Främlingar blir till bröder och bryter bröder som vi va släkt. (yo)
Bra folk i orten, är nåt det finns gott om. Ta bara bussen i din stad eller tuben i stockholm.
Pendeln, gröna, blåa, röda linjen de e för er vi skriver.
eyo vi glider på samma gata vi e som ni e
Ortens favoriter skiter priser o vad e grammis? yo vi får kärlek på gatan o bästa pris på chamsis.
Från söderhöjden i yakan till gottsundasborna, skulle vilja reppa er alla men ni e bara för många.

Pass på era recensioner och priser, skiter i för vi är Ortens favoriter! X2
Alla vet, finns inga flos i musiken men de e lugnt, så länge vi är: Ortens favoriter! x2

Helt ärligt jag skiter i radiorotationen dom spelar oss från Flyttvägen till Bandstolen i MP3
På jeepen i skogen dom sjunger med, när dom provskjuter pistoler o alla vet!
Att vi är populära i trakten, o alla här har gungat till takten
När dom står och kickar spliff i trappen, eller när dom lyfter skrot ja de var????
Jag hör oss i en bil som åker förbi.
I Göteborg e kärleken finfin, Norrsken o Luleå dom bjuder på weed.
Ey Malmöbröder dom tecknar Labyrint!
Bryr mig inte om försäljningsstatisik, i Uppsala/Stockholm är vi ortens favoriter
Bryr mig inte om försäljningsstatisik, för i hela Sverige är vi ortens favoriter

Pass på era recensioner och priser, skiter i för vi är Ortens favoriter! X2
Alla vet, finns inga flos i musiken men de e lugnt, så länge vi är: Ortens favoriter! x2





Ortens favoriter! Gottsunda, Lindängen, Alby, Råslätt, Sollentuna, BREDÄÄNG, Skärholmen, Vivalla, Vårberg

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Labyrint's song "Ortens favoriter" speak of the passage of time in Norra Botkyrka, and the artist's disbelief that he has been living there for over a decade. He has witnessed his brother being stabbed in the area, and has watched boys grow up from smoking marijuana to spray painting the community center. The song speaks of the artist's affinity for the suburbs, and how despite being a gathering place for immigrants, it has become a melting pot for different nationalities, including Swedish people and lone mothers.


The song moves to list different suburbs and cities such as Alby, Möllevången, Rosengård, Sofielund, and Backa, and how the unity shown by the people living there moves him. Labyrint speaks of how these suburbs offer a feeling of community and inclusivity, where strangers become brothers, and the artist feels the love and appreciation of the people in these neighborhoods. The chorus of the song repeats, "Pass på era recensioner och priser, skiter i, för vi är Ortens favoriter!" which roughly translates to "Be careful of your reviews and prices, we don't care because we are the favorites of our neighborhood!"

Well, I have some spare time, so here you go. I won't translate every vers, because that's near impossible with some of the slang used. This translation isn't perfect either, but that's pretty hard. Enjoy.


(Intro)
You're listening to Hood Favorites!
Your favorite radio station in the hood with only the best music
We're just going to continue with some nice music from Ghetto Swede


(Dajanko, 2nd guy)
Shit, what a feeling, to succeed after hard work
To work against headwind and wondering when it will turn around
Went from wondering if it ever will even happen at all
To the state that every suburb we are in feels like home
Too many to name, but I am going to name two
Gottsunda, the place where I come from
And Jakobsberg, Söderhöjden
Writing pages about today, Dajanko will forever be one of the hood's favorites


(Stor, 3rd guy)
Let go of your wings, little brother, you're much more
Much more than the place you live in is used to being put down by mainstream media
So let no one tell you who you are and who you can become
The hood's weakest can grow up to be the hood's favorite
Future promises to Rosengård to Rinkeby to Hjälbo
Avoiding dangers like Mario in an 8-bit Nintendo game
Child soldiers quoting our words on their streets
Send the love back with radio sets!


(Aleks, 4th guy)
Cuz in the hood I was the star long before I became well-known
Feeling at home everywhere, so everyone liked me everywhere
But, man, don't take the bars as a joke (?)
Thanks Alby, Skarpnäck, 127 and Fruängen
Aleks is the power, Aleks is the will
Aleks and the streets will never divorce
Everything you've taught me will never go away
You let me lose
To learn me how to win


All your reviews and prizes
Doesn't matter, because we're
The hood favorites
Everyone knows, there's no money in the music
But it's fine, as long as we're the hood favorites


(Allyawan, 5th guy)
There are so many places that have made 'Wan into who he is today
Öxnehaga, Österängen, Torpa to begin with
Gothenburg became my home, then Bellevue and still is today
Love to every hood in Gothenburg-city
Yeah, you know, grew up with traveling
So I'm living like that now, yeah, see you soon
Now plogging in the capital, the big city monster
So have to say yo to Bagarmossen, Jordbro and Farsta (What's up?)


(Pase, 6th guy)
I hope they bump my lyrics in a whip, tell I write them on the strip
Wanted a fortune, a few to forge a future off the bricks
Sittin' on the stair writer, council estate rhymer
Baptized in a fire, but still no love for aina
I'd love to see my hood good, but I can only vision it
Get padlocked in madness, if you could do division with
Whatever you get your hands on, dependin' on what the grams on
From Peckham to Västerås my feet I walk my land on!

(Dani M, 7th guy)
Came here from Cuba when I was eight and still got stuck in Hagen
Among thieves and criminals, raised among the streets
Chilled in Tavve, mini-Kurdistan, and the Arabvalley
Hustled cash in old Dära, smoked weed on the basketball court
Now I hear my music in the cars that drive around
Or the kids phones when i take the bus
In the stairs where the boys steal weed
Stenhagens favorite, 752's where I'm raised (?)


All your reviews and prizes
Doesn't matter, because we're
The hood favorites
Everyone knows, there's no money in the music
But it's fine, as long as we're the hood favorites


(Alladin, 8th guy)
I've lived here in Gottsunda since I was little
Mostly spent my time down in Ipen
Even though everything might sometimes be screwed (knas, the original word, is nearly impossible to translate, sorry)
I'll always come back


(Aki, 9th guy)
Albychildren are exactly like Gottsundachildren
Ghettopeople, every city has atleast a hundred or so
And everyone is listening to Labyrint in the slums today
Aki is hood favorites'-MC, I swear on the pounders graves
And they are too many, tragic lives and fates
Drugs destroy lots, as they're selled there in the corner
From bandstolsvägen Stenhammar along the flute (ICA, a Swedish shop, in Stenhammar)
Let's meet at Albyvägen or Höjden


(JaQe, 10th guy)
I remember when the hood favorites were Ken, Blues and Latin Kings
Chapee N' Chess, nowadays it's Stor and Labyrint
So let's wrap up another (referring to weed), time for the guy to get a family
(?)
From stairhouses, cellars, areas can feel it
It reminds of something a long time ago
From the area better known for its postcode
232, people can relate even though they're so far away from it


(Jacco, 11th guy)
I grew up here, took my first step here
Said my first word and the street became my brother
Nowadays I make music with Red Line (a label company) with my crew
We have a bond with each other
That you'll never understand, no
We've shared sadness, laughter, blood and tears
And losses since we were small, so


All your reviews and prizes
Doesn't matter, because we're
The hood favorites
Everyone knows, there's no money in the music
But it's fine, as long as we're the hood favorites



@elojs68

Full credit goes to the user 'Kallar Skymfen För Brommavatten' for the already existing translation. I did however refine his translation and fixed some weird sentences.

(Intro)
You're listening to the Hood's Favorites!
Your favorite radio station in the hood with only the best music
We'll just continue with some nice music from the Ghetto of Sweden


Dajanko
Shit, what a feeling, to succeed after hard work
To work against headwind and wondering when it will turn around
Went from wondering if it'll ever happen at all
To the state that every suburb we are in feels like home
Too many to name, but I'll go ahead and name two
Gottsunda, the place where I come from
And Jakobsberg, Söderhöjden
Writing pages about the present, Dajanko will forever remain as one of the hood's favorites


Stor
Let go of your wings, little brother, you're much more
Much more than the place you live in is used to being put down by mainstream media
So let no one tell you who you are and who you can become
The hood's weakest can grow up to be the hood's favorite
Future promises to Rosengård to Rinkeby to Hjälbo
Avoiding dangers like Mario in an 8-bit Nintendo game
Child soldiers quoting our words on their streets
Send the love back with radio sets!


Aleks
Cuz in the hood I was the star long before I got known
Feeling at home everywhere, so everyone liked me everywhere
But, man, don't take the bars as a joke
Thanks to Alby, Skarpnäck, 127 (postal code for a specific suburb) and Fruängen
Aleks is the power, Aleks is the will
Aleks and the streets will never separate
Everything you've taught me will never go away
You let me lose
In order to win


All your reviews and prizes
Doesn't matter as long as we're
The hood favorites
Everyone knows, there's no flos (slang for money) in the music
But it's fine, as long as we're the hood favorites


Allyawan
There are so many places that have made 'Wan into who he is today
Öxnehaga, Österängen, Torpa to begin with
Gothenburg became my home, then Bellevue and still is today

So I'm living like that now, yeah, see you soon
Now plogging in the capital, the big city monster
So have to say yo to Bagarmossen, Jordbro and Farsta (What's up?)

Tack för musiken ni har gjort genom åren. Ni är utan tvekan och argument en av de bästa och legendariska rapgrupperna i Sverige. Varje gång någon diskuterar om svensk raphistoria måste man nämna Labyrinten. Ni är legender

@didierm8

Håller med där!!

@numbersdontlie3774

Snyggt !

@bizikt

ALEKS, fattar inte hur man kan vara så duktig som dig. Du är en naturbegåvning, så jävla underbar röst, får rysningar varenda gång jag hör den i vilken låt som helst. Tack för att du började med musiken, verkligen TACK som fan <3 BIG UP till alla i låten, ni alla är grymma, kärlek.

@dtbdot

Väldigt skön låt, vi behöver mer sånt här på radion.

Hälsningar från Ludvika!

@enzopenzoo

Visst?! Kärleeek

@henkkakoivumaa4855

Jag har lyssnat och sett den här videon minst 400 gånger. Varje gång jag ser den så får jag rysningar. Jaccos sista bars är dom bästa barsen jag hört. "Vi har ett band mellan oss som ni aldrig kommer och förstå. Vi har delat sorg, skratt, blod tårar och förluster sen vi var små" <3 <3 Kärlek till Ortens favoriter. Äkta grabbar! Respekt

@Nexus-uy6zv

Enighet med positiv inställning som gäller. Vi är alla tillsammans i det här. Ignorera de hatfulla/negativa kommentarerna och lägg er energi på det som gör dig glad. Bra låt Labyrinth! Ni får en att känna närhet till alla förorter omkring i Sverige. 

@oaktreehill666
