Matolale Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lagjet tona si favela
Mezi pres qe tvi e djela
Pare t'ndryshme pare tshpeshta
Sukses kam se sukses desha
S'e di pse t'ka ik buzqeshja
Futem nluft sic futem nrreshta
Ju po tregoni vec vjersha
E kuptova sa vlen heshtja n'rrug boj rap

Jam G deri n'monotoni
Prototip keshtu s'ka asnji
Pi derisa per vit t'ri tu bo gara moto gp
Koka bardh dhe shpirti zi t'vi me ni golf GT
Un jam G jo nuk je ti
Tani m'thoni se ca boni
Kur t'vi me nje stil tompsoni
S'keni asgje s'meritoni
E din t'gjith kush esht kampioni
M'u ka djeg dhe mikrofoni
Ia kam ferku dhipit si tamponi nga ballkoni
E din mir se kush esht Doni (hah)

Shife sa G jom se sa
Tu rrit standardin like n'Kanada
Marrim pagesa dhe ca jan t'omla Bakllava
I'm a hoodstar o la' i'm a hoodstar o la'
Rratatata i'm a bigman o la'
I'm a hoodman o la' favela

Uhh yea Favela, Uhh yea Favela
Uhh yea Favela (brrrr) favela
Uhh yea Favela, Uhh yea Favela
Uhh yea Favela lagjet tona Favela

Tash i'm on the road money
Vet e mor si vet i sati dukem si iluminati
Jo sje pjes e kti debati thyhet banka
N'8 sahati 8 dhipa nshampanj i lagi
Kuptohet se mka ardh vakti
Nuk po m'ze mo as krevati
Tu pa ondrra me bacardi
Me ni jaht vet i disati
Kam synimin qe se pati
Asnji nga juve mo daki
N rrug na kishe tu bo party
T'njejt na ke vec ka ndrru kati
Cunat po mthojn o John Gotti
N'rrealitet jom mo i qarti
Okey lali shkojm avanti
Ktyne t'tjerve i ka skadu mandati
Gati per luft sikur jam nga baghdad-i
Nese ka lek at'her ky esht debati
Ky esht problemi i japim zgjidhje
Nga askushi dikushi me lidhje
Ti s'njef tipa qe merren me
Kille fuck whatever you feel

Shife sa G jom se sa
Tu rrit standartin like n'Kanada
Marrim pagesa dhe ca jan t'omla Bakllava
I'm a hoodstar o la' i'm a hoodstar o la'
Rratatata i'm a bigman o la'
I'm a hoodman o la' fAVELA

Uh yea Favela, Uhh yea Favela
Uhh yea Favela (brrrr) favela

Uhh yea Favela, Uhh yea Favela
Uhh yea Favela lagjet tona Favela
