Manchester
Reezy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wir befinden uns mitten in der Schlacht
Check, Yves Saint Laurent, check, Comme des Garçons
Ich bin immer noch nicht satt
Wir haben noch nicht gewonnen
Wir befinden uns mitten in der Schlacht
Check, Yves Saint Laurent, check, Comme des Garçons
Ich bin immer noch nicht satt
Damals fünfzig Cent Eistee vom Penny-Markt (Penny)
Heut sipp' ich Rémy wie Fetty-Wap (Rich)
Handgelenk icey wie Häagen-Dazs (Ice)
Diamonds in bunten Farben wie ein Bällebad (bling)
Ich bringe heat, mache es heller, ha
Vernetze Frankfurt wie 'n Sendemast
Von Innenstadt bis zum Messeplatz
Siehst du Kiddies Trackies wie in (Manchester)
Sir Alex Ferguson (Manchester)
Tracksuits (Manchester)
Nike Shox (Manchester)
(Manchester)
Sir Alex Ferguson (Manchester)
Tracksuits (Manchester)
Nike Shox (Manchester)
Ich mache Magie wie Abracadabra
Dein' Scheiß ist eher wie ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ich rap', was ich will, ich bin nicht dein Vater
Ich brauche Seiten auf null, ruf' den Barber
Scheiße auf Covid, ich scheiße auf Bullen
Sie halten mich und mein' Bruder in 'nem Smart an
Sie denken, ich bin dumm
Doch ein Nigga mit sieben Stellen auf Konto weiß immer, was er zu sagen hat
Heh, sitze mit elf Jungs am Tisch wie das letzte Abendmahl
Hände werden gerieben so wie Parmesan
Bestelle Pizza mit Thunfisch, trotz „À la carte“
Hier wird um Geld gespielt, das ist kein „Wetten, dass“
Einige wurden deswegen schon weggeklatscht
Von Innenstadt bis zum Messeplatz
Siehst du Kiddies Trackies wie in (Manchester)
