Luxembourg [English translation]

They scream a lot, but on the map they matter about as much as Luxembourg

I see your TikTok and grind my teeth so hard they start to hurt

Surname: Szcześniak, nationality: Polish, ancestry: peasant

Actually I'm proud that my people never had any crests

(one, two, three)

I drive a BMW through a Sicilian neighborhood, speakers roaring out of the sunroof

I listen to whatever I want to, and sometimes it's the new Drake, and sometimes "Klucz" by Hemp Gru

The beasts are waiting for me, wanting to eat me, and I know well how hungry vultures can get

This arena is a Corrida, you bull, you wouldn't fill in two rows in here

I haven't been to Schengen in a while, that was a mistake

My lawyer is sending me e-mails saying he's fighting with blends1

When I write a verse in the notebook that says I'm stacking loot

I don't mean hard drugs, but stacks of money

This is Europe LP, Europe LP, Europe LP

Europe LP, Europe LP, Europe LP

Dreams so black that you can't see the moon at night

So I try to look further away at Europe and the Titan2

We push it at Saturn3 and we push it at Empik4

All they want is to copy, copy, copy, copy the beats

Why share the art for free if they can make money off it

They've been blinded by a chick or a VIP lounge

I know well that it's dripping with jealousy here

Because the radio won't play me even if I have a nice verse with Dawid5

Look at talent and not at the wallet

Sir Lanek gave me a beat pack, not prêt-à-porter

When he brings Olo I already have Rioja in my cup holder

Tell me how many of my verses do you have in your fap folder?

Rear view mirror, I see Poland in it

Five hundred euro photo radar at Düsseldorf

Today I'll have blanched asparagus and roast beef fillet

Happy that I don't have to ask how much it will cost

I'm from Poland, fucking politics, fuck crossfit

I can go acapella and I can go on the beat

First I do it like Moby, then I do it like Mobb Deep

Fifi isn't so young anymore, half Norbi6, half Norwid7

Yo

Europe LP, Europe LP, Europe LP

"Europe" ship's logbook, first entry:

I've crossed the Polish border, heading west

Date: July 13th, year 2020

I'm on my own in the cabin, although sometimes I hear some voices. Few times I thought I could see someone in the backseat, but when I turn around no one is there. Temperature outside is 11 degrees, the tank is 3/4 full of Diesel, the indicators are stable, the moon is monstrous, this is Europe LP.

Over.

1. I'm not great on music terminology but from what I understand by "blends" taco here means what were basically remixes that he has made of other people's songs (changing the overall beat and adding his own verse to them). They would get millions of views and thus very often get copyright claimed on youtube by the song's actual authors2. Saturn's moon3. German chain of electronics stores4. Polish books and media store chain5. Referring to Dawid Podsiadło and his verse in Taco's song "W piątki leżę w wannie". The song gained a lot of views and listens on streaming sites but in comparison was not played a lot on the Polish radio stations. Taco brings up Dawid's name here specifically because Dawid is currently a very popular musician in Poland who's songs get played on the radio much more often (so Taco is basically pointing out that even with such a big name like Dawid, he still doesn't get played on the radio)6. Norbert Dudziuk, Polish singer and TV host7. Cyprian Kamil Norwid, a nationally esteemed poet, dramatist, painter, and sculptor.
