How many hours do you have?
|
Because I'm on my way to the bar now
|
Believe me, there is speed
|
It's hard to say from now, from now
|
How many hours do you have?
|
Because I'm on my way to the bar now
|
Believe me, there is speed
|
It's hard to say from now, from now
|
Find a seat and sit down, let 'me tell' you
|
Where the music industry affects masses of people
|
Through a couple of very typical Danish examples
|
That in a way shows the trends of 2018
|
Kenneth and Mohammed started 'in tenth grade
|
Out of sheer boredom, to sit and write a lot
|
At first it was just for laughs, but they were bitten by it
|
Rap lyrics in scrapbooks until they got a shitball
|
So they started 'recording' in local youth clubs
|
And small studios with their friends with stolen computers
|
All that booze they got the bell in the studio where they partyed '
|
Got their guys clipped together for a video they threw out online
|
So their first music was just a clip
|
Of branders in the studio where they made their rap music
|
With full attitude, did not smile once
|
Young, angry types make the Denmark family piss scared
|
They threw it up on the net, nothing and nothing happened
|
Mo started 'posting' it to some bloggers to get some clicks
|
When one shared, the others began to fall behind '
|
Then the 'video spread more' a moth in a wardrobe
|
The project went so well that the boys had to repeat it
|
On the next video, the numbers got more extreme
|
A comment field with people in ecstasy
|
For Kenneth and Mo were building a fan base
|
How many hours do you have?
|
Because I'm on my way to the bar now
|
Believe me, there is speed
|
It's hard to say from now, from now
|
How many hours do you have?
|

|
Believe me, there is speed
|
It's hard to say from now, from now
|
Yeah, it only took a while before anyone saw an opportunity
|
In the music Kenneth and Mohammed had released
|
From a label laid out hard, first bid
|
Five singles and 50,000 in advance
|
Good enough only with fifteen percent in royalties
|
But the advance made it easier for them to convince '
|
Popped 'a bottle while toasting a smoke
|
The money smoked on the same day on two chains and some branded clothing
|
The next single did quite well
|
The label man said "nice", but wanted the numbers up
|
So the next one again it was supposed to be a hit
|
Although the two partners went from their main genre
|
They made bid after bid, recorded a lot of tracks
|
But the company refused, and they had signed
|
But what does it mean when girls attack you?
|
The two had become role models for a lot of street kids
|
The money was missing, and it was actually nicely acidified
|
For it was the last piece before they lived 'the adventure
|
And their streams were whole and half a million
|
And a mile gives an average of 40,000 Danish kroner
|
But a nice lady put them down and went through
|
That the 50,000 were out of the percentages they got
|
Of the share they produce
|
So they'll make 330,000 before they see a penny more '
|
How many hours do you have?

|
Believe me, there is speed
|
It's hard to say from now, from now
|
How many hours do you have?

|
Believe me, there is speed
|
It's hard to say from now, from now
|
Yeah, yeah, now we're three singles away
|
Will 'be less popped if the fans themselves could decide
|
Some of them persisted, some did not stay that long
|
But the deal keeps Kenneth and Mo in a bind
|
For even when the 50 irons are earned again
|
Is their agreement that they only get fifteen percent
|
So for every million streams there are 6,000 to download '
|
As a taxman, you take half of it when the fiscal year ends
|
And it frustrates them both, it's over to decide
|
For the label boy can refuse when they want to broadcast
|
And they want to be seen as huge successes
|
Then there is no point in 'selling a bed' in IKEA
|
Or benz on Q8 or kluns in a clothing store
|
Then they feel their image would fade in an instant
|
So to 'stay' cool with the cool ones
|
Having Kenneth taken the step, started pushing a bit
|
So the genre that was invented in its time
|
As a way to avoid troublemakers getting in and sitting
|
Ends in 2018 getting an individual
|
To make a crime, because he can not 'earn' some money 'that' white
|
It sounds like a robber, as if I'm wasting time
|
But it's from reality if you want some inside knowledge
|
No need to underplay
|
But I have to go now, I'll have something to drink
|
How many hours do you have?
|
Because I'm on my way to the bar now
|
Believe me, there is speed
|
It's hard to say from now, from now
