Lyrics of Gadens Ånd - Ataf

Gadens Ånd (original)

Jeg' gadens ånd, jeg laved' dig
Fordærved' dig og gjorde dig kold som is
Jeg døbte dig, i gadens tegn
Min ghetto dreng, må du rest in peace
Andre sagde du var umulig
Du var ubrugelig
Men jeg ku' se noget i din' øjn'
Der var ukueligt
En arrogance
Viljen til at få revanche
Imod dem
Der aldrig ga' dig en chance
Systemet så dig
Som en klods om benet
Dit navn
Og din hudfarv' var problemet
Dine forældre
Havde det heller ik' nemt
Og ku' ik' fornemme
Hva' du gik igennem
En gang imellem
Det var som om alt var dig imod
Dybt frustreret
Men man hørte dig aldrig si' noget
Tavs
Gik du rundt og var utilpas
Utilfreds
Med en sjæl der var fuld af stress
Tog dig til mig
Under mine vinger
Og lært' dig vinde
Ved at tá skæbnen
I din egne hænder
Og ga' dig alt det
Du ik sku ha haft
Penge prompt og pragt
Big gunz og magt
Jeg' gadens ånd, jeg laved' dig
Fordærved' dig og gjorde dig kold som is
Jeg døbte dig, i gadens tegn
Min ghetto dreng, må du rest in peace
Jeg så dit potentiale
Derfor handled' jeg
Forvandled' dig
Til en forbandet ghettosuperstar
En gangstar
Strapped med en 4−4'er
En afviger
Coke sælgende dagdriver
Din far så det
Men ku' intet gør'
Min magt var større
Du ku' hverken se eller høre
For jeg hæmmede dit sind
Forblændede det med bling
Og et forbrug
Der kun ka' tæmmes med peng'
Men han konfronterede dig
Du ignorerede bare
Lukked' af for hans spørgsmål
Gad ik' at svare
For der' ik' plads til fornuft i
I en verden der' kurupt
Skabt på løgn og utugt
Du var mit produkt
Du gjorde alt for mig
Uden at ku se hva du misted'
Da du faldt for mig
Du rakte din hånd
Der skabtes et bånd
Og jeg døbte dig i gadernes ånd
Jeg' gadens ånd, jeg laved' dig
Fordærved' dig og gjorde dig kold som is
Jeg døbte dig, i gadens tegn
Min ghetto dreng, må du rest in peace
Nu har du brændt dine broer
Til din far og din mor
Glemt hvem du var
Selv røvrendt din bror
For som dig
Går han ogs i min' fodspor
For han vil være præcis
Li’som storebror
Og det har ramt dig
Du angre
Vil ha jeg ska slip mit tag
Men bordet fanger
Med sammenbidte tænder
Knytted' hænder
Står du og si’r
At vi to ik længere er venner
Som om det sku røre mig
Har du glemt
Jeg gadens ånd
Skabt af asfalt og cement
Jeg har ingen forståelse
Ingen følelser
Kun et instinkt
Der laver små drenge til spøgelser
Jeg' gadens ånd, jeg laved' dig
Fordærved' dig og gjorde dig kold som is
Jeg døbte dig, i gadens tegn
Min ghetto dreng, må du rest in peace
Jeg' gadens ånd, jeg laved' dig
Fordærved' dig og gjorde dig kold som is
Jeg døbte dig, i gadens tegn
Min ghetto dreng, må du rest in peace
(In peace)
(In peace)
(In peace)

(translation)

I' the spirit of the street, I made you
Corrupted you and made you cold as ice
I baptized you, in the sign of the street
My ghetto boy, may you rest in peace
Others said you were impossible
You were useless
But I could see something in your eyes
There was irrepressible
An arrogance
The will to get revenge
Against them
You never got a chance
The system saw you
Like a block around the leg
Your name
And your skin color' was the problem
Your parents
Didn't have it easy either
And ku' ik' distinguished
What you went through
Occasionally
It was like everything was against you
Deeply frustrated
But you were never heard to say anything
Silent
Were you walking around and being uncomfortable
Dissatisfied
With a soul that was full of stress
Took you to me
Under my wings
And taught you to win
By embracing fate
In your own hands
And give you all that
You shouldn't have had
Money prompt and splendour
Big gunz and power
I' the spirit of the street, I made you
Corrupted you and made you cold as ice
I baptized you, in the sign of the street
My ghetto boy, may you rest in peace
I saw your potential
That's why I acted
Transform yourself
To a damn ghetto superstar
A gangstar
Strapped with a 4−4's
An outlier
Coke selling day driver
Your father saw it
But ku' nothing does'
My power was greater
You could neither see nor hear
Because I inhibited your mind
Dazzled it with bling
Increased consumption
That can only be tamed with money
But he confronted you
You just ignored
Closed' off for his question
I don't want to answer
Because there's no room for reason in it
In a world that's corrupt
Created on lies and fornication
You were my product
You did everything for me
Without seeing what you missed
When you fell for me
You raised your hand
A bond was created
And I baptized you in the spirit of the streets
I' the spirit of the street, I made you
Corrupted you and made you cold as ice
I baptized you, in the sign of the street
My ghetto boy, may you rest in peace
Now you've burned your bridges
To your father and your mother
Forget who you were
Even rob your brother
Because like you
He also follows in my footsteps
Because he wants to be precise
Like an older brother
And it has hit you
You regret
Want me to drop my roof
But the table catches
With clenched teeth
Tied hands
Do you stand and say
That the two of us are no longer friends
As if it should touch me
Have you forgotten
I the spirit of the street
Created from asphalt and cement
I have no understanding
No emotions
Only an instinct
Little boys are made into ghosts
I' the spirit of the street, I made you
Corrupted you and made you cold as ice
I baptized you, in the sign of the street
My ghetto boy, may you rest in peace
I' the spirit of the street, I made you
Corrupted you and made you cold as ice
I baptized you, in the sign of the street
My ghetto boy, may you rest in peace
(In peace)
(In peace)
(In peace)
