Mata Le - RH, Jamaika

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah (Ja, jaja)

Alle kendte ham som en skoledreng

Den der gade forvandled' ham til et ghettobarn

Helt alene, så hyænerne tog ham ind i varmen

Han så det som en hjælp, i virkeligheden så brugt' de ham

Han blev nødt til at gør', hvad der blev sagt

Han var villig til at ofre alt for at få peng' i lommen

De sendte ham ud — ga' ham 45'eren i hånden

Han måt' først vend' tilbage, når magasinet det var tomt

For jeg så ham træk' den op, hold' den lige imod hans hoved'

Og jeg så, hva' det endte med

Livsstilen er helt psykose, for han tænker, «fuck det hel'»

Og han glemmer sin familie

Han ville gå hele vejen, ofre livet for sit navn

Han ville gøre alt, hva' der sku' til

Så de sagde: «Mata le»

Mata le, mata le

De der snakker para, ka' ikk' fornem' det

Hele tiden ind og ud af fængsel

Snakker som om de var der — de ikk' vant til

Og hvis det' sandhed, la' os se det

Jeg plejede at cut' klumper i multibanen

Hele livet i kvarteret — ren skandal'

mor plejed' at kald' mig hjem fra fjerde sal

Lig’som: «Lille neger, kom tilbage»

Jeg ved ikk', hva' de snakker om — det' ren beton

Plus jeg løb efter para på lommen, jeg ser det om

Og jeg havde den der nina-nina-nina på mig

Og blokken den er rent cine-cine-cinema

For jeg så ham træk' den op, hold' den lige imod hans hoved'

Og jeg så, hva' det endte med

Livsstilen er helt psykose, for han tænker, «fuck det hel'»

Og han glemmer sin familie

Han ville gå hele vejen, ofre livet for sit navn

Han ville gøre alt, hva' der sku' til

Så de sagde: «Mata le»

Mata le, mata le

For jeg så ham træk' den op

Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah

Livsstilen er helt psykos'

Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah

Han ville gå hele vejen, ofre livet for sit navn

Han ville gøre alt, hva' der sku' til

Så de sagde: «Mata le»

Mata le, mata le

(Ja-ja-ja-ja)

For jeg så ham træk' den op, hold' den lige imod hans hoved'

Og jeg så, hva' det endte med

Livsstilen er helt psykose, for han tænker, «fuck det hel'»

Og han glemmer sin familie

Han ville gå hele vejen, ofre livet for sit navn

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah (Yeah, yeah)

Everyone knew him as a schoolboy

That street turned him into a ghetto kid

All alone, so the hyenas took him into the warmth

He saw it as a help, in reality they were using him

He had to do what was said

He was willing to sacrifice everything to get money in his pocket

They sent him out — handed him the 45

He must only return when the magazine is empty

'Cause I saw him pull it up, hold it right against his head

And I saw what it ended up with

The lifestyle is completely psychotic, because he thinks, «fuck it all»

And he forgets his family

He would go all the way, sacrifice his life for his name

He would do whatever it took

So they said: «Mata le»

Eat laugh, eat laugh

Those who speak para can't understand it

All the time in and out of jail

Talking as if they were there — they're not used to it

And if it's true, let's see it

I used to cut lumps in the multi lane

All life in the neighborhood — pure scandal'

Mom used to call me home from the fourth floor

Like: «Little nigger, come back»

I don't know what they're talking about — pure concrete

Plus I ran for para on the pocket, I'll see about it

And I was wearing that nina-nina-nina

And the block it is pure cine-cine-cinema

'Cause I saw him pull it up, hold it right against his head

And I saw what it ended up with

The lifestyle is completely psychotic, because he thinks, «fuck it all»

And he forgets his family

He would go all the way, sacrifice his life for his name

He would do whatever it took

So they said: «Mata le»

Eat laugh, eat laugh

Because I saw him pull it up

Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah

The lifestyle is absolutely psycho'

Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah

He would go all the way, sacrifice his life for his name

He would do whatever it took

So they said: «Mata le»

Eat laugh, eat laugh

(Yes-yes-yes-yes)

'Cause I saw him pull it up, hold it right against his head

And I saw what it ended up with

The lifestyle is completely psychotic, because he thinks, «fuck it all»

And he forgets his family

He would go all the way, sacrifice his life for his name
