And so I ended up in the big city
Not free, but anonymous, that's a strong enough reason for me to stay
but listen, my hometown, you and I don't have any bad blood between each other
Have the future, a nice office, with you - coarsely
I never became a prophet in my home town
Preached all the time but never got any response
except for from my beloved mother
The lack* isn't big
I haven't had a letter here to where I live
Lekberg c/o the dude that charges way too much rent
The one-bedrooms apartments in Högdalen are nice but they're also expensive
6 000 SEK as a standard as far as I understood
as a bonus I can call myself a suburban rapper
No they'll probably call me redneck
Barely been to a farm
tell them I'm from the country side
but in which country do you live then
think you and I sing the same blues
but perhaps not to the same beat or in the same key
Chorus.
It's probably exactly the same blues we sing
They just have different beats and we sing in different keys
It's just big city blues
It's just big city blues
Employed by the hour at a spun off care company
My dead communist-grandfather must be turning over in his grave
Not even connected to the labor union, Zacke got knocked down
Had to eat my words when they fucked me over and took my monthly salary at Christmas
Merry Christmas Mom, can you pay my trip back home
Shameful, you'd think that if you'd want something done properly, you'd have to do it yourself
But I don't suffer, I get holiday pay
So I will probably be able to afford to go out with my best friend and get a cold one
I dress well, wholesome, a handsome dude
So why have I been arrested twice by civilian police
When was the last time I smoked, they both wanted to know
I thought, hold on, this must be a trick question
I probably know what got to me, it's not the same city
it was good where I lived before, it's not the same anymore
Now, just as before, I probably sing the same blues
but maybe not to the same beat and in the same key
Chorus
Blocket**, apartment on Blocket, what's wrong with you blocket?
I say that this is the devil on Blocket
first, you pay 20 000 SEK and after you get the key, kinda sketchy
stop sending me scam email and all that perverse shit
Want an apartment in Trekanten
but get emails about threesomes, desperate - but what the hell man don't do it
stupid fucker from Norrland, an easy prey on blocket
and overclass men sell apartments like I change socks
But Stockholm is really cool, and I probably am where I need to be
wander down Götgatan, somewhat urbane
the Lumberjacks in Vasastan have never chopped wood
but fucking homely, yes you should see it
You wanted to stay
in some small town pattern
do you think I'll be back
fucking farmers
Now, just as before, I probably sing the same blues
but maybe not to the same beat and in the same key
Chorus.
