Lijpe – Van De Buurt (English Lyrics)

[Intro]
MB

[Verse 1]
A new day, a new Euro, it’s rainy
I see a couple of little ones on the corner there and they’re screaming “Lijpe!”
They recognized my car so they waited for a bit
Don’t even do the math anymore, but I was spending heavily yesterday
We’re losing track because it’s hard to stay okay in here
So I try my best to make all bad things good here
I wouldn’t even know who I still have proof myself to
I have never read a book, but I can write one
It’s not a magic trick when boys in the hood dissapear
I looked like a mechanic, carrying my tools and my scooter with me
That time we were poor, I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of grinding
If I have a look back at my friends I only had my mother with me
It’s probably the devil again when we’re hearing voices
I notice I’m still slipping sometimes, I need to be a bit stricter
Already realized back in the day that nobody will run for you
So if I wouldn’t have gone and went for it, who the fuck would have brought it to me?

[Chorus]
We divide the loot
I’m from the hood, we rather play at home
Everything’s gonna be alright, I told you, “Give me some time”
I don’t talk a lot, because they know about me
Lose the pain, I get rid of it for a moment
Who is with you in uncertain times?
Everything’s gonna be alright, I told you, “Give me some time”
I don’t talk a lot, because they know about me

[Verse 2]
I often have conversations with my dad, he’s the best man
He teaches me and then I realize that things can be worse
Little ones are growing up and there’s nobody who’s able to fight here
From laser gaming to a real laser, go on test it out
Lot of gambling addicts are going crazy when they get the booze
Go to my mom, throw my stack on the windowsill
I prefer to show them only my best side
Your right hand wasn’t your right hand when he was on trial
I hear myself on the radio and so do my boys who are inside
But they already had this on CD even before it was released
Vicious circle, that you cannot escape right now
One is half open, the other one’s still stuck in Germany
I can never trust those people when you’re buying gear
But they’re hanging with everybody as long as the money is coming in
Hair is messy, I think the cop will comb it out
If we drive by in that whip with the sound on

[Chorus]
We divide the loot
I’m from the hood, we rather play at home
Everything’s gonna be alright, I told you, “Give me some time”
I don’t talk a lot, because they know about me
Lose the pain, I get rid of it for a moment
Who is with you in uncertain times?
Everything’s gonna be alright, I told you, “Give me some time”
I don’t talk a lot, because they know about me
