(Timbuktu)Var enda gång samma sak
Ja borde bett dom väckt mej med en handgranat
Som alla andra dar börjar denna med brådska
Ja hinner inte dusha men tänderna borstars
Ja måste packa allt för ja glömmer nått ofta

Det är dags att leta jobba igen
Taxin väntar det är lobbyn om 5
Ja vinglar ner stadigt bakis

Bra vi tar det medans vi tar det medans vi kollar våra loger

Från stället till hotellet

Upp och hoppa telefonen ringer
Det är lobbyn om 5 o ja står i skinnet
(timbuktu)jens ta me grejjerna

Overall Meaning

The song "Lobbyn om 5" by Timbuktu is about the hectic lives of musicians who have to constantly travel to different cities to perform. Timbuktu is frustrated with his bandmates who are always oversleeping and wasting their time instead of being ready for their flights. He talks about how he has to rush through his morning routine, packing his things and searching for misplaced tickets. Despite being hungover, Timbuktu manages to make it to the airport on time and proceeds to travel to multiple cities for his gigs. He describes his early-morning arrival at a new city with a growling stomach and the anticipation and rush of setting up for the concert before finally getting some rest. The song highlights the sacrifices made by musicians who have to constantly travel, perform, and interact with fans despite the toll it takes on their physical and mental well-being.


One interesting fact about the song is that it was released in 2004 as part of the album "Alla vill till himmelen men ingen vill dö" ("Everyone Wants to go to Heaven but Nobody Wants to Die"), which was a critical and commercial success in Sweden. The album was nominated for multiple awards and sold over 100,000 copies.


Another interesting fact is that Timbuktu, whose real name is Jason Diakité, is a Swedish rapper of Senegalese and Gambian descent. He is known for his socially-conscious lyrics that touch on topics such as racism, immigration, and politics. He has won numerous awards for his music in Sweden and has collaborated with international artists such as Damien Rice, Ane Brun, and Marit Bergman.


The song "Lobbyn om 5" was produced by Amato, a Swedish DJ and producer who has worked with Timbuktu on several of his albums. Amato has also produced music for other Swedish artists such as Ken Ring, Lorentz, and Yaiya.


The song features a mix of hip-hop, jazz, and soul influences, with Timbuktu's signature laid-back flow and Amato's groovy beats. The use of telephone signals and airport announcements in the intro and throughout the song adds to the narrative of traveling and the hustle and bustle of airport terminals.


"Lobbyn om 5" has become a fan-favorite and a staple in Timbuktu's live performances, with audiences singing along to the chorus and relating to the struggles of being a traveling artist.
