Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

PEGGU-SENSEI, Iko
Sad days, bad days
Rennen voor een kleine pay
My way, the highway
Met m'n team the Gangway
Ride a wave, pave the way
Ik doe het voor mezelf ay
Hij zei, zij zei
Maar kijk je wat je zelf deed
Wat weet je van 5 beats everyday
Dat zijn PEG en ik
Double nightshifts
Want de tijd tikt
Soon we hit a big lick
Binnenkort een business
Je wilt veel, maar doet niks
Ey man wat is dit
Die Wände färb'n sich neon
Jede Nacht bis zum Morgen wach
Peggo-sensei ikkou, ja let's go
Mit 8boy am Mikro
Das Studio klein, die Träume groß
Ja wir hustlen pausenlos
Sad days, bad days
Ja wir geben niemals auf
Das ist 808gangway, yeah
Wat weet je van five beats everyday
Dat zijn PEG en ik
Double nightshifts
Want de tijd tikt
Soon we hit a big lick
Binnenkort een business
Je wilt veel, maar doet niks
Ey man wat is dit
8BOY, ben nog steeds the same boy
Noodles voor de broke boy
Real life t'is geen game boy
Speelde met m'n Game Boy
Dragon Ball Z; Super Saiyan boy
Haten op een ander, je bent lame boy
Doelen voor ogen, I take aim boy
Jong op pensioen, dat is echt mooi
Minimum wage for the young boy
Investeer je geld met een plan boy
Wil meer geld dan die Portnoy
Way up, jij haalt die poort nooit
8BOY ben nog steeds de the same boy
Samen met PEG, we raken fame ooit
Sad days
Bad days
Ik hoop op die good days
Net KILLY on my way
Naar L.A.




Sad days
Bad Days
