Ystävä [English translation]

The state of this moment, it consists of small pieces

They build up like legos from a packet

I do things like before, but now just thousands hear

If you don't know me, well I didn't write this for you

And now I mean Kimmo, not Elastinen

This is for those who know me and not that celebrity

This beat makes my memories come to surface

I grew up in Luutnantinpolku1and Vonkuri park

There we got the spark to hop together with jämä2

I will never forget those times of growth

And all the old friends, I wouldn't be anything without you

Sorry that I haven't kept in touch better

Together we learned those things with what I got here

I will buy you beers when we see

I haven't really changed, maybe grown up a bit

But just a little

Friend, you are needed

No one will get along alone anyway

Friend, you are remembered

No one will get along alone anyway

Could it have been ninety-seven

IMC ruled, Apache from the speakers

Attitude is the most important, with that you can get far

We were Finland's best b-boys, at least in our opinion

We walked around the city3with a mat under the arm and a tape recorder on the shoulder

Ooh la la, making passers-by distracted with moves

On gigs with Pera, we stayed the night in the attic

I remember clearly every place where we performed

We watched old videos of Electrodynamics

I couldn't sleep at nights because my head was full of ideas

Then, after school to Kisis4again, and to evening training

I regret that I got a break, I blame myself for that

But that was good time, the best

Plus I claim that I had the best backspin of the city

Many good memories, it's been a while

But my mom still uses that red polo shirt

But then the names changed and many other things, too

But you all are in my heart, whatever happens

Still my feet moves when the beat drops

B-boy for life what the fuck

Friend, you are needed

No one will get along alone anyway

Friend, you are remembered

No one will get along alone anyway

About the same time I had started to rhyme

From home I went to Henkka's place with public transport

At first we asked for recordings from Harju's youth center

Until we got our own joint at Runerberginkatu5

Then a debt burden on the back and to Helsinki's music

Majestic twelve, homeboy, on the house

Hölttö built us the setting from surplus stuff

And before long the doors were open for others too

Freestyle-nights, from night until morning

Seven were left, those who took it seriously

So Rähinä came into being and started to grow

Only the best friends were allowed to get in

Now this is more than a firm

More than a group of friends

Something I couldn't eve be without

That's why I got it in my arm, because I believe in us

This goes to all of my friends, I count on you

Friend, you are needed

No one will get along alone anyway

Friend, you are remembered

No one will get along alone anyway

And every card in this deck is dear to me

I don't ask from my friends anything I wouldn't give back myself

Trust and respect, let's start with those

I don't ask impossible things, but I won't settle for any less

I don't need a weak link, my chain is the longest

It takes skill to bend, but benders are dangerous

Pressure breaks a lot, but real friends endure

And I myself will endure

Friend, you are needed

No one will get along alone anyway

Friend, you are remembered

No one will get along alone anyway
