ĆWIERĆWIEKU Lyrics English Translation (Mata, Oki)

[Verse 1: Mat]
Twenty-five years walking this same concrete.
So don’t you dare tell me what’s allowed here, you idiot.
If I played by their rules, my receipts would be thinner.
My style would be weaker, but I’ve got everything I want.
Screw the fake friends; they’ll say whatever I need.
With too much mileage, they’ll do whatever I please.
Mercedes and BMWs? Not everything I desire.
A happy ending in my life—is that the entire goal? No.
There are things more vital than happiness, feelings deeper than love.
Just give us health, dear God, so it holds up when we’re old.
So many have made it to the top,
only to fall harder when the winds grew strong.
You wanted a star here, and you’ll get a legend.
Because Matheo crafted the beat, we’re drinking near Warsaw.
Thanks, Pedro, BeMelo, for keeping the standard high.
Even if the Polish rap scene sleeps on you.
[Chorus: Mat]
Twenty-five years on this goddamn pavement.
I’ll take everything I want, just give me a moment.
Screw the bros on the block, my crew’s on the side.
A little blood on the ground—but who’s been there knows.
[Verse 2: Okey]
I’d never quit rap… but who knows.
I’d never jump off a roof… but who knows.
Yeah, a brother with a warrant, but who’s been there knows.
One with a love letter… but that’s not the story.
Call me Gen Z, slum dog, whatever.
From a brat to a multimillionaire, yeah.
Dirty tank top, I play punk rock; you pay for the luxury.
I still play it clean, but they messed up my table.
One wheel, two wheels—that’s how they wheelie.
They invented my image; she invented my haircut.
Quebo wrote me a number ’cause she’s retired, yeah.
I’m not a “rapper”—that’s a label, not a genre.
They’ve been hanging on me for twenty-five years; I’m their damn rope.
[Outro: Mat & Okey]
Give me… everything… everything I want.
All the best.
I’ll take everything I want.
A fucking quarter century.
Everything I want, motherfuckers.
A fu*cking quarter of a century.
But whoever was there… knows.
