Langt igjen å gå

Langt igjen å gå
are you willing to meeting me, I ain't feeling your energy, oh boy
Langt igjen å gå
they call me MV the enemy, don't pretend to be friend of me, make sure
I rep truth to the fullest, stupid. Sit in your stool, shit fuck views bitch I'm Lubitz
Dawg, I'm shocking my brain, I'm like a fox in bitch, what the fuck am saying
I'ma boss in this job, you get shot in your face if you ever try to sing
"ah rist meg som en milkshake"
wait, I thought people were dope,
until Kygo came in middle now he's stealing my show
oh, what you mean I never had one? Last show, three people, that was action

mom, no celebrities like me, A.P yeah he said that I was biting
Uncle P talk shit, but never fight me, so I guess that MV forever hiking
but I write them to dust, we all going down, german pilot, fucking us up
Fuck, and my manager never managed to stop me, door is on lock
and I'm flopping.

When I say "wanna" you say "be"

adrenalin killing them. I'm on my shit, I'm sipping on hennesy in the cockpit
Yeah, I'm in a beast-mode, one shot to blow, so hell no, fuck a freethrow
people, unfasten your seatbelt, we gon crash in alps, I don't need help.
I'm shutting it down, I'm like a fox in bitch, I ain't fucking around
(wap-pop-pop-papa-pa-pow)
yeah, that's the sound when we're going down
Cause I'm, just a wannabe, just a kid with no fucking feels for the music biz
I'm foolish, I'm stupid, I use this music to bullshit these loser,

Hah-hah, virgin bruh? Better be on before get on my ding dong

and a threesome, fuck it, I'm wild son
long as bloat float, grab throats, laugh, choke, pass rope, fast-forward, passed
hoes, that's dope, last quote, ask bro's to defend you in court by saying you thought

When I say "wanna" you say "be"
wanna – be
wanna – be
When I say "wanna" you say "be"

bounce get up now

but if you think that I copy the sound, get your ass on the plane,




I ain't fucking around
we're going down.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mads Veslelia's song Wannabe showcase the artist's frustration with the music industry and his own place in it. Veslelia, who goes by MV, raps about feeling like an outsider who is not appreciated or respected by his peers. He uses clever wordplay and insults to convey his message, referencing the German pilot who intentionally crashed his plane in 2015 and the fact that he feels like a wannabe in the industry.


The chorus of the song features the repeated phrase "When I say 'wanna,' you say 'be,'" which emphasizes MV's desire to break through and become a successful artist. He even acknowledges that he is not alone in feeling like a wannabe, saying, "we all are, fuck a disguise."


Throughout the song, MV also brags about his skills as a rapper and his ability to shock and surprise his listeners. He references drinking Hennessy in the cockpit and getting women on his "ding dong." The song ends with the ominous line, "we're going down," further emphasizing the idea of MV not quite making it in the industry.
