Meine Mona Lisa
Ich lauf' nachts durch den Block
Ohne Zeit, ohne Kopf, nur mit Stress, Habibi
Keiner weiß, was du meinst
Wenn du meinst, dass es reicht, du musst weg von hier
Du hast schöne Augen, ich gehör' zu dir
Meine Mona Lisa, meine Mona Lisa
Ich riskiere wieder wegen Gold und Lila
Block, Block, Block, Block
Alle wollen raus aus dem Loch
Jeder will Haus und ein Loft
MMFK Molotow
Pok, pok, pok, pok
Jeder hier riecht, was du kochst
Kappe sitzt tief, dein Herz pocht
Adrenalin steigt zum Kopf
Ich lauf' nachts durch den Block
Ohne Zeit, ohne Kopf, nur mit Stress, Habibi
Keiner weiß, was du meinst
Wenn du meinst, dass es reicht, du musst weg von hier
Meine Mona Lisa, meine Mona Lisa
Du hast schöne Augen, ich gehör' zu dir
Meine Mona Lisa, meine Mona Lisa
Ich riskiere wieder wegen Gold und Lila
Lauf, lauf, lauf, lauf
Bullen vorm Hochhaus, pass auf
Adrenalinrausch ist auch
Bullen zivil, komm, lass laufen
Lauf, lauf, lauf, lauf
Bunker die Packs in dei'm Haus
Und hol das Cash aus der Couch
Ich bin aktiv, komm, kannst kaufen
Ich lauf' nachts durch den Block
Ohne Zeit, ohne Kopf, nur mit Stress, Habibi
Keiner weiß, was du meinst
Wenn du meinst, dass es reicht, du musst weg von hier
Meine Mona Lisa, meine Mona Lisa
Du hast schöne Augen, ich gehör' zu dir
Meine Mona Lisa, meine Mona Lisa
Ich riskiere wieder wegen Gold und Lila
Meine Mona Lisa
Meine Mona Lisa
Meine Mona Lisa
Meine Mona Lisa
Meine Mona Lisa
Meine Mona Lisa
The lyrics to Sugar MMFK's "Mona Lisa" speak to the artist's experience navigating through the dangers and uncertainties of urban life. He describes wandering through his block at night, consumed by stress and lacking direction. Despite this feeling of displacement, he finds comfort in his Mona Lisa, a woman whose presence brings him peace and direction. Throughout the song, he alludes to the risks he takes to secure a better life, including running from the police and engaging in illicit activities. Ultimately, though, he remains committed to his Mona Lisa, affirming his loyalty to her repeatedly throughout the chorus.
The chorus, specifically the repetition of "Meine Mona Lisa," serves as a strong anchor in the lyrics, emphasizing the importance of this person in the artist's life. The use of "Habibi" (an Arabic term of endearment) in the first verse suggests that the artist may be of Middle Eastern descent, adding another layer of complexity to the song's themes of cultural identity and belonging. The second verse introduces the concept of the "Block," a term often used in urban communities to refer to one's neighborhood or close-knit group of friends. The song seems to confront the idea that success and happiness are elusive concepts in these environments, and that individuals may need to take risks or engage in criminal activity to achieve their goals. The artist clearly struggles with this notion, alternatively embracing and rejecting the culture of his surroundings.
Overall, "Mona Lisa" is a poignant reflection on the struggles of urban youth, grappling with identity, love, and ambition in the face of adversity.
