Laver Penge [English translation]

Yeah

When I was I child I thought

Life was like a fairy tale, the world was like in movies

So ambitious, the fire was burning deep within my soul

I was special, I was going to conquer Earth

Until reality came and knocked me on the side of my head

They said, "Kid, you're from Hundige, you're attending school in Askerød

Do you really think you were destined for greatness, are you fucking brain dead?

Will you please stop dreaming when you're not in bed?

Now shut up, wipe your tears off and make some money

And after that it went like work, work

Before I knew it, I was working at this warehouse

I don't remember how I came

But apparently, this is my life, 'cause school is over

They told me "Congratulations, son, you could be one of the people who make money"

Yeah, I'm on my grind every day

I'm making money

x2

Yeah, I'm on my grind every day

And when I've got enough money, I'll run away without looking back

(I'm making money)

Some people owe me the princess and a kingdom

Every morning I'm like the soldier

I get up and go to war

The girl who liked me broke when we were eighteen

Now wants a man who earns what I'm behind, the counter1

So now I'm here

My back against the wall, I didn't get a spot in the sunlight

Yeah, I don't get it

I was the man back in school

But there's a long way from minimum wage to the million after taxes

I dream of walking into the bank, showing up with a loaded gun

Then I wake up and my life goes on

I've got to take it like a man

And just hope for better times

'Cause my grandpa taught me that you to be provoking

No, 'cause you have to work

You have to mother fucking hustle

Until the day you make money

Yeah, I'm on my grind every day

I'm making money

Yeah, I'm on my grind every day

I'm making money

Yeah, I'm on my grind every day

And when I've got enough money, I'll run away without looking back

x2

(I make money)

x2

And when I've got enough money, I'll run away without looking back

I make money

In my head, I've started making a plan

It might not happen tomorrow, but some day it will

I'll take over and be king of this contest

And be my boss'

Mother fucking boss

Until that day, I'll be making money

Yeah, I'm on my grind every day

I'm making money

Yeah, I'm on my grind every day

I'm making money

Yeah, I'm on my grind every day

And when I've got enough money, I'll run away without looking back

I'm making money

Yeah, I'm on my grind every day

I'm making money

Yeah, I'm on my grind every day

I'm making money

Yeah, I'm on my grind every day

I'm making money

And when I've got enough money, I'll run away without looking back
