Биография [Biografiya] [English translation]

I was born in 1970, outskirts of Moscow1

Went wild since I was in diapers

I swore too much at the age of 4

Saw girl's c*nt for the first time in the kindergarten

And later on in the school with a crappy uniform2, fights and glue3

The things that made me stronger

I used to steal cash from the dressing rooms4

I took up smoking at the age of 8

And got laid for the first time at 11

Then I bailed on parents

Began to hang out at the dump

Boots and a military jacket

Brezhnev died5, I began lifting at the gym,

Bought boxing gloves, which

Were stolen at school. Didn't work too well for Vitjok and Kolja

Floor, the blood stains, got filed a case

Had burgled a makeshift barrack at night, got props, time flows...

Dodged military due to kidney disease6, got drunk and rough up a cop

Then moved to the chick's place in Kuryanovo7

With my fellows we began to rob the cooperators8

On Rizhskaya9, killed a gypsy woman, that's how it ended up.

I found myself on the federal wanted list, bought a car

Got hooked on meth

Just Butyrka10 helped, thanks to Kerya.

The court a year later, the sentence, 15 years

The north, midge, prison settlement11, fierce faces

I'm a loose cannon, escaped the courtroom with some goof

We fled to the forest, I'm eating his meat, the freight, hitchhiking...

Moscow, lay down low

New passport, new job, new car

Addressing issues, lots of cocaine

I got married, backing the banks, settled down in the mansion on Taganka12

My son was born, my mother died, I went on Cuba on vacation for a half a year...

Rum, cocaine, I'm tired of sex with mulattos

The plane to Moscow, meeting in Sheremetyevo13, I was captured

I didn't have time to feed the pigeons, they began to bother asking where the money was

They remembered the changed passport, got the old folders

It became immediately clear this passenger is dangerous, I was taken to a country house

They Shut me in the basement like in a grave, keep clamoring for the general funds14, what a f*ckers

All our guys were killed, but I continued to deny. And once

Their boss and some random f*ggot came in, got the guns

Took off their jackets15, "didn't you change your mind", they asked me, I said "no, guys, I did not"

I remembered the evening by the river, barbecue, blowjob from Anka,

My pals and beer; "damn, what a good time we had back then!"

A pair of guns looked in my direction

Just like the mother's eyes during her funeral...

F*cking hell, what a great time I had in Havana:

Sunsets, shorts, palm trees, by the time they already unlocked the fuse

I remembered the son, boxing gloves, a guardian angel ...

The first bullet hit the arm, f*ck, so painful...

Second bullet hit in cheek, what a cockeyed c*nt

I spit out 3 teeth on the concrete

Further on the bullets hit the leg and the stomach, guys got their jackets

Talking their sh*t, they forgot about me

The blood filled my mouth, so that's it, it's over...
