Ti Fod Høj [English translation]

Faithful to myself no matter what they said

Push me down, I refuse to fall

I really don't care if you're ten feet tall

Ten feet tall

I really don't care if you're ten feet tall

Dear whoever I was

You've become hard to recognize from here

You live and learn que sera, sera

Just know that it was super cool as long as it lasted

When we spat rhymes in the stairwell

So that the stench of piss was drowned out by our rap song

The same Summer where we killed our innocence

Our block has big shoes to fill out

Back when I wished I was a little bit taller

Wished that I had balls to hold a 45 and burst into the gas station

But Josef said 'Fuck it, you'll stay here, 'cause your parents would be heartbroken if you do it'

I'm a proud son of an Århusianer1 and an immigrant

From where 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' isn't just a song

Learn it right away, son, life is a struggle

And it would be a sin if you didn't take it seriously

Amen

Faithful to myself no matter what they said

Push me down, I refuse to fall

I really don't care if you're ten feet tall

Ten feet tall

I really don't care if you're ten feet tall

Here, we neither believe in Jante2 or in luck

Just that you have to do what it takes

Some got masked while others started dealing

And it was an amazing idea until we started doing them ourselves

So they call out 'Dopeman, dopeman, everybody smokes dope, man'3

Ibo got insane, there's no hope, man

As if the path ahead can be counted in kilograms

'Cause on that shit, you're no longer the same

I saw some the last time I came home

'Cause I never stopped calling it that

But beautiful smiles had turned junkie nasty

As mothers recited prayers for the fallen ones

I went for a stroll through the neighborhood to kill some time

When Sami's mother pulled me aside

She said 'I say it to my son all the time

So will you please let him know

That good people can't be kept down'

Faithful to myself no matter what they said

Push me down, I refuse to fall

I really don't care if you're ten feet tall

Ten feet tall

I really don't care if you're ten feet tall

Ten feet tall

I'm ten feet tall
