Here in our neighborhood we're used to fighting
Homie, hold your head high
We aren't allowed to dream, ones like us, no
But we say want and see
Wait and see
Wait and see
As soon as we have just a little
The whole world will see
Wait and see
Wait and see
As soon as we have just a little
We come from Vestegnen (1)
And we're kids of the suburbs
Line A can take you here
But not below the surface
Because we grew up here
Where one's not a kid for long
Where we collect bottles for cigarettes
And the bottles are bought with child support
We come from broken homes
So we gather in the neighborhood
And paint our name on a wall
So the world can see that we existed
And it's a weird form of materialism
But here they know what I mean
When I see, that my holy cross
Is a logo with three stripes
You can see me on the playground
In my cousin's old clothes
We pretend to be gangsters and drug dealers
Where they hang out and smoke
Maybe it was his BMW
His money or the girl on his arm
But I have known as long as I can remember
That when I'm grown up, I want to be like him, because
If we shine, then the world sees us
My success won't be camouflaged
I'll lift weights and get tattoos
Because there are so few reserved seats
The church things that they can free us
But religion for a suburban kid
Has never been faith, hope, and love
But money, power, and respect
Here in our neighborhood we're used to fighting
Homie, hold your head high
We aren't allowed to dream, ones like us, no
But we say want and see
Wait and see
Wait and see
As soon as we have just a little
The whole world will see
Wait and see
Wait and see
As soon as we have just a little
Home in time for De Unge Mødre (2)
For selling coke, fines for stupidity
We have the hoods up over our heads
We have asphalt under our feet
We walk in Louis Vuitton
Even though we live in concrete
We are always late
A whole season
But if you want anything
You can just come
We run from the law
Like a marathon
On the basketball court
In Air Force Ones
Jump for the basket
How high can you get?
For me, rap was a lottery ticket
Because without it, I would've been invisible
And my ghetto passport would've expired
I would've been hit by thunder and lighting
Stole for the clothes I went to the city in
But I knew some of Tupac's lyrics
So when I rapped, they'd listen
The only white boy the gangs loved
So yeah, there was rap in my notebook
And that was my start
Searching for fame
Eminem's words, Tupac's ghost
It fills me up, I'm chasing the feeling
When I get on the stage, I'm not alone
I can hear Burhan G say
"Anker, do it for us.
They said, we wouldn't amount to anything.
But we did"
The three stripes use
Are religion for a suburban kid
It isn't the father, the son, and the holy ghost here
But money, power, and respect
Here in our neighborhood we're used to fighting
Homie, hold your head high
We aren't allowed to dream, ones like us, no
But we say want and see
Wait and see
Wait and see
As soon as we have just a little
The whole world will see
Wait and see
Wait and see
As soon as we have just a little
I used to say
Another day
I'll return
I'll let them all see
When I'm rolling down the street in my new BMW
I used to say
Another day
I'll return
I'll let them all see
When I'm rolling down the street in my new BMW
When I'm rolling down the street in my new BMW
