כנפיים [Knafayim] [English translation]

No air in the house, I'm choking, and I'm sick of it

Tel Aviv's a vibe, for now, so hi, Bavli

Don't want to wait in vain for you, Love

Like that Rabbi wrote, the "Baba1" - Bob Marley

Total chaos, I ain't moving and my time flies

They'll come eventually, but until then, it's hustlin' time

Trying to hold on, to be funny

So you sneak in some trick from your slick

'Cause who's gonna love some real rappin'?

Whatever happens, you need to get your check by the 1st

In the morning - at the office, in the night - feeling like Drake

Jumping on the crowd at the emptiest hall

"Yeah, thanks for the band, soon we'll serve the steaks."

And how much I've wanted love and respect back then

To be the best, to control the feedback

I only got worries, shoutings, dang it

'Til I tried to leave, to trust and to lean back

You wanted an entire world

You've tried to fly

But a man realizes he's only a man -

So he spreads his wings

And at night he dreams about flying to space

But a man realizes he's only a man -

So he spreads his wings...

It started with some noise, turned into a volcano

Every mumble or every "Hi, Guy!2" felt like "Hi, ISIS!" to me

Just a clueless fool in a useless label

Not sure if I'm a rapper or a commander at the Border Police

Too busy to have fun, too busy to answer

Even physically I was dizzy, too dizzy to stand up

Even doctors, therapists, lawyers, and commotions

Even she and I are dissin', tiptoeing

Yo, one sunny day you're not the youngest anymore

You turn it into a song, and your whole world flips over

Going out for some air, or just buying some shampoo in the city

And you got a Samsung up your nose, and they insist you'd smile

Wherever you go, there's some disappointed motherfucker

And the more I learn to protect my heart

From their perspective, I became everything I hated about celebs

I ain't one of them, fuck it, let the DJ do some spinnin'

[Chorus]

30 years of dreams all happened in a month

Back then I didn't know whether it's a blessing or a punishment

They told me, "Come save us, man, you came straight into the drought3."

But all I ever wanted was to be free, free, free, free

Free to look after myself, to shut my inner voice

Free from making that guy or that girl happy

They say about me what they think about themselves

But it's not in my control, so see ya, I mean, what, who do you think you are?

And some girl called me a genius, thanks, sweetie, that's great

It's all just failure, success, goodbye, distress, depression

Put on a stopwatch, baby, if you got a year on your clock

Actually, fuck, that's what eventually brings in the millions

And life isn't a vacation in Rhodes

And it's all about what you focus on

And I took the whole world upon myself

But who knew that the secret of the Zodiac was to be a man

[Chorus]

Hey, it's time to get up and leave

There's no more load to carry

Where the heart is clean

That's where the party is

For years I'm stuck at the traffic light

'Til I stopped looking sideways and backwards

Made it out of the atmosphere and back

Shit, Bazooka only missed by a decade4

I head-butted the moon

Stayed there to see the sunri...

[Ending:]

"Our main engine is gone

We're losing height...

We seem to have a problem

with our main engine

We've lost a lot of height... our state is unclear

Right now we have no communication, it is possible

That the spacecraft... is lost

We're checking up on the control crew"

It is custom for the celebs to say "Hi, Guy!" whenever his crew is around.3. A time when business is unsuccessful. 4. This is a reference to the Bazooka bubble gum, which included small comic strips along with some fortunetelling sentences.
