What Do You Know
Sometimes rats gnaw through walls around here
Born here, but don't want to end up here
Mama, the white dust is just the ceiling plaster
What do you know about my block?
Phone vibrating, she wants to talk
I can't pick up, 'cause I know she wants to come over
And when she stands in front of the prefab building, she's suddenly shocked
Sometimes want to escape the jungle, but end up staying here at the end of the day
Believe me, we dream of the Caddy, believe me, we dream of the Chevy
But every evening dreams drown in Jacky
Sometimes a glimmer of hope manages to escape
Don't hang your head, then you might see it, ah-ah
And sometimes rats gnaw through walls around here
Born here, but don't want to end up here
Mama, the white dust is just the ceiling plaster
What do you know about my block?
And sometimes we dare to look at the stars
Want to go up there too, but how, when all paths are blocked?
Follow false trails, hoping they'll bring us closer
What do you know about my block?
The sins weigh much more than the eight kilograms on the backseat
You hope he hears your prayers, but right now he looks away
Cold metal between hip and waistband of your Nike shorts
Ensures that even on hot days, not much sweat drips here
Some are lucky
But don't look back here anymore
New house, new wife, new area
As if we never existed
And sometimes rats gnaw through walls around here
Born here, but don't want to end up here
Mama, the white dust is just the ceiling plaster
What do you know about my block?
And sometimes we dare to look at the stars
Want to go up there too, but how, when all paths are blocked?
Follow false trails, hoping they'll bring us closer
What do you know about my block?
And sometimes rats gnaw through walls around here
Born here, but don't want to end up here
Mama, the white dust is just the ceiling plaster
What do you know about my block?
And sometimes we dare to look at the stars
Want to go up there too, but how, when all paths are blocked?
Follow false trails, hoping they'll bring us closer
What do you know about my block?
