[Intro]
The intersection of avenues Jerezolimska and Marszałkowska
On the intersection of those two main streets of Poland's capital, was placed a signpost
The sign shows where are Helskinki, Copenhagen, Oslo. But where is Warsaw?
Postcard from Warsaw, summer 2k19. Cheers.
[Verse 1: Taco Hemingway]
I call a taxi to get to the other side of the bridge
The west side has been dead ever since Hocki1 is gone
Bastards yell at a dark skinned fellow to speak Polish
Then they scream at the DJ to not play Bedoes because they want old-school
He plays schafter and Blue Coals
He gets hit in the stomach, wakes up in a hospital in Solec
The police was supposed to keep guard here, but they'd rather give a young boy a ticket
For crossing on the red light at the East Station
And he doesn't even know what he'll tell his father
He wanted to be a child in August's sun
But that won't come back like Polish Dortmund
Bobby2 is staring from a billboard
Praising imported shampoos
During summer WWA3 stays away from sports
We cure hangovers from Tuesday to Friday
We usually stand in traffic
We're one step away from a record in traffics
This city breathes exhaust fumes and we will raise our children in this smog
[Verse 2: Taco Hemingway & Dawid Podsiadło]
Blonde highschool girls bathed in white4 again
Their skirts are more stingy than their teachers's salaries
Friends are strumming strings, friends's condoms are breaking
Fat stomachs and they want ladies like from a Pirelli calendar
[Verse 3: Taco Hemingway]
Today they dance near Wisła
They see stars like Michelin
All plans so foggy
They live in a fairytale like Disney
Weird ladies in MISBHV
A quicksave in life would be useful
Always pour me an even number of shots
I'm in fabric settings again
[Interlude: Taco Hemingway]
WWA, WWA, WWA, WWA
Summer 2k19, this is a postcard from WWA
Dear— [cough]
I feel— [cough]
(One, two, three!)
One more time
WWA, WWA, WWA, WWA
Summer 2k19, this is a postcard from WWA
Dear— [cough]
I feel— [cough]
[Verse 4: Taco Hemingway]
This is Poland's civil war
Rossmann under the red neon
Mural "Warsaw Uprising"
And next to it "Powerade. You fell? Get up!"5
I won't keep talking about it
Because Masłowska6 has already said everything
You will win in cards soon
You've had too many bad hands
You'd like to leave the city?
Remember when grandma drove you? (Where)
Somewhere at Masuria, Majka Jeżowska was singing nicely on a cassette
Now it's getting high, and coke, and food, and boxing, like Mirów Market
You come back home with a mandate
Afraid that your own mother wont recognize you
DJ from the first verse died from a concussion
His executioners only want to listen to true school
They pretend it's Medellín but they smuggle cigs from Modlin in Ryanair
They make weird moves like Hotline Bling again
Dude I don't have any more cigs so leave me some
[Verse 5: Taco Hemingway]
I see on the pack of cigarettes
Man with a hole instead of a larynx (You gotta die from something)
Society is poisoning with germs
Some look for sales and wander bazaars
Others look for a distraction when they chew calamari
When I stand at post office
Like a solider at the front line
Jan Paweł II is watching, no one in the country is scared (no one)
Like Jesus's fish, everyone is multitasking
A man jumps off the bridge because he wants to check if he can walk on water
He couldn't
[Outro]
Spending free time in city has a lot of advantages
We don't drive, so for example, we don't need to bother with PKP7
Yes, but someone could say that at Masuria and in the mountains the air is different
But some of the cars also went there for the holidays, so the city is less crowded and cleaner
