Navigating through the snakes that are in my city

Navigating through the snakes that are in my city
|
Navigating through the snakes that are in my city
|
Navigating through the snakes that are in my city
|
Leading the language of the city in the pen, call me mayor
|
I book the city in rhyme for your two ears
|
I'm from the valley where both line five and two run
|
But am a man of the whole city in which I myself live
|
Find what I write on dodoors for Norwegian tests
|
Where blood is spilled, where drugs are hustled to the kiosk corner
|
Where faith is tested, where courage is practiced, where shoes are bought
|
In front of the Storting to where Vålerenga shouts are heard
|
From kindergartens to both Botsen and Bayer'n
|
We make street level streetwear at hihats
|
And among them at Kubenparken, Don Martin towers over the Kuben
|
Sharp as if the bullet was fired by God and smashes into you hard
|
Writing lines for those who stand like herring in a barrel
|
On all lines a half hour halfway into their dreams
|
And my rhymes only describe the really things
|
Which cannot be packed in plastic, shipped to the main stream
|
Baba, we are flying
|
Yo, just check the way we walk in
|
Only warriors with heart, is it any wonder that it gets windy? |
The whole capital knows that when the music is on
|
Wada dang wadadada dang
|
Wada dang wadadada dang
|
The whole of Tigerstaden in the back when we arrive it goes - bang
|
Don Martin writes for those in stock and long days in the Rema till
|
For those who are constantly on the hunt, but can never find the shoe that fits
|
At the back of the bus, they listen carefully to the lyrics
|
Before they spot the hat — calm down, I'll get off on the next one
|
For single mothers, lonely brothers who
|
Someday shall blossom and seize all that they dream of
|
As long as I live I promise to always make rhymes
|
Under hats lurks the sound made inside my hat
|
Just as much behind bars as behind bars they can mine
|
"blak blakketi blakk"-bars the facts
|
From the time I was just a broke fellow it has taken off
|
But still have my two legs planted good on tarmac
|
And I'm only getting better with time
|
Writing about the life I live where I move in it
|
You know my style, Mayor — no stress
|
When I spit, the beggar town listens, microphone check
|
Navigating through the snakes that are in my city
|
Navigating through snakes
