You can impress from afar
But to make an impact you gotta get close to the person
And although I sing hit songs
My Jordans are grounded, I don't walk on clouds
This game ain't pretty, but my woman is
I don't want to be famous, as long as my art is
It's a challenge for the nice guy in a world full of dickheads
But motherfuckers, I'm back on another tour
Easy to approach
Sometimes it feels like that means "easy to dismiss"
It's not "in" to be a good guy, not even a good rapper
But I'm both and I'm still present
And I've been here for damn long
If you're gonna keep up with me, dude you gotta tie your laces
You think kindness is weakness
But this is the nice guy takeover - sit down.
I'm doing it this way.
I'm not here to boast, that's not a part of my look
Not here to trash-talk, I'm here to make music
Baby you can test, what Härkönen's* back can bear
It bears, it bears, it bears
I do with a smile, but I do it seriously
I don't want to settle for laughs, like a mere jester
I gotta stay cool and do what really is me
I'm slaving away, Kari* ain't playing some role
Fuck it, this business ain't for the shy
Dog eat dog - you give a toe, they take a leg
I make a ski track, they pave a road on it for themselves
And they use your script to write their story - boom
No one rides on my story but me
I've made my own choices, I lack nothing
People are feeding an illusion, built by the parvenus
Try to fool this old man and I'll educate you
See, you playing my tracks to your mum at home
Won't stop me from smacking you out to the woods*
If you threaten me or what is mine, I'm a keeper of many things*. A man has his words, balls and values.
I'm doing it this way.
I'm not here to boast, that's not a part of my look
Not here to trash-talk, I'm here to make music
Baby you can test, what Härkönen's back can bear
It bears, it bears, it bears
It bears all things, I'm doing it this way
You can't stop me, I'm moving forward
It bears all things, I'm doing it this way
You can't stop me, I'm moving forward
I'm doing it this way.
