Luca 18:16 [English translation]

[Verse 1: DOC]

I realize now, as an adult, how much it affected me to grow up without a father

Along the way I understood that life will keep shoving it in your face

My grandparents had only one thing in mind -

That I must study, otherwise I'll end up working the fields

A full tummy, a stoned mind,

I used to run after the chickens through the coop since I was a kid

Now look, they're the ones chasing me

But my lady wants me to build scaffolds

To reach higher and higher

To keep looking down, are you stupid? I'm scared

She says I'm doing it for all of us, for our future

They say from up there you can't see any Apple Store

Take it all, then you'll realize

That you just copied someone else, that's how you limited

Yourself, I mean myself

So use me and these rhymes as a double topping

We were all kids once, we stole some cell phones, too

We slept, but not a peaceful sleep, now I'm embarrassed

I swear.. this is how you distinguish the bad from the good

From Photoshop and "deals", the bad from the good

Here is where my crazy self comes into play

While you're searching on Google, I'm searching within me

[Hook: DOC]

I took a bite out of the apple

To learn what is good

And I tell them, too,

Let the little children come to me

'Cause I know what they want and how to obtain it

'Cause I've been there

Let the little children come to me

I was one of them

When they weren't like me

They're like my own (children)

Let the little children come to me

I'll tell them everything I know, and not only the good parts

While I'm still alive

Let the little children come to me

[Verse 2: Nwanda]

They say what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger

But I know quite a few who fell to the ground

They got far, no holding back

I hear they didn't die, but they didn't get back up, either

That's why I give them Merlot when they're drinking wish-wash

I keep them away from the bullshit

So what if they're young, fools and hold a grudge against me

And have no idea you can get high from good things, too?

When the gin kicks in you lose control

Bite the apple, but not till you reach the core

Dizzy from the payers' league

Today, coach for the juniors

Let them come, I won't harm them

I promise that what I tell them won't ruin them

What good is to know if you don't share with the rest?

Let the little children come to me

[Hook: DOC]

I took a bite out of the apple

Let the little children come to me

'Cause I know what they want and how to obtain it

I was one of them

When they weren't like me

They're like my own (children)

Let the little children come to me

I'll tell them everything I know, and not only the good parts

While I'm still alive

Let the little children come to me

[Verse 3: Grasu XXL]

Tell me how clear the situation is

When all you feel is the vibration

How divine the creation is

We have knowledge, but only in small doses

Ars gratia artis (Art for art's sake)

Keep learning, nothing is for free

I can heal, but only through Catharsis

I don't look down in the water like Narcis

But even so, I just want to breath

I just want to think and to inspire you

I wouldn't want you to listen to the news

Because all you see there are just story tales

Let the kids search within them

When all they hear are murderous doctrines

Way too little, way too little role models

Let the little children come to me

I spit rhymes for a good cause, not an evil one

I turn the other cheek as well, I'm not a sort of hero

Too old (wise) to not be new (up to date)

If I'm not set in time, I'm eternal, you know?

No sins, I'm pristine

Jesus Complex, you got mad

I am the truth, I speak the truth

I walked on Earth to find my apple

[Hook: DOC]

I took a bite out of the apple

To learn what is good

And I tell them, too,

Let the little children come to me

'Cause I know what they want and how to obtain it

'Cause I've been there

Let the little children come to me

I was one of them

When they weren't like me

They're like my own (children)

Let the little children come to me

I'll tell them everything I know, and not only the good parts

While I'm still alive

Let the little children come to me
