Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a stark picture of a tough urban environment where survival and street smarts are paramount. The recurring question, "Šta ima?" (What's up? / What's new?), functions as a casual greeting but also hints at a deeper undercurrent of inquiry about one's status and struggles in a harsh reality. The narrator contrasts their own movement through the city with the pervasive, almost aggressive, questioning from their neighborhood, suggesting a disconnect between their outward appearance and the internal realities of their surroundings. The line "Dani surovi i nisu mi kul, bato" (Harsh days and they're not cool to me, bro) immediately establishes a tone of weariness and dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs. The core tension lies in navigating this unforgiving landscape while maintaining a sense of self and ambition. The lyrics describe a place where "deca stvarno vare sve" (kids really smoke everything), implying a culture of escapism or desperation. The narrator reflects on "godine zle" (bad years) where youth were hardened, turning into "ker" (dogs), and survival meant embracing a certain madness. There's a sense of learned caution, "svi se tuđih sranja boje" (everyone fears others' shit), yet also a fierce possessiveness over what is theirs, "ne dam šta je moje" (I won't give up what's mine). This duality highlights the struggle between self-preservation and the potential for self-destruction in their environment. Reksona's verse introduces a different perspective, framing the city as a place where they carry the world on their shoulders, serving the streets for a long time. The imagery of "Novak Đoković novac broj'o bih celi dan" (I'd count money all day like Novak Djokovic) speaks to a desire for success and accumulation, contrasting with the bleakness described earlier. The narrator dissects the falsehoods around them, distinguishing between what one *has* and what one *wants*. This drive is relentless, even with "kad gume su mi bušne" (when my tires are flat), signifying an unwavering pursuit of goals despite obstacles. The promise of "bolji dani" (better days) is a persistent hope, even when faced with offers to compromise their truth. Ultimately, the effectiveness of these lyrics stems from their raw, unflinching portrayal of a specific environment and the psychological toll it takes. The repetition of "Šta ima?" acts as both a mundane greeting and a loaded question, underscoring the constant need to assess and project one's standing. The contrast between the casual inquiry and the described harsh realities creates a palpable sense of unease. The lyrics resonate by capturing the complex interplay of street wisdom, ambition, and the ever-present struggle for survival, grounding emotional weight in vivid, albeit grim, snapshots of life.

[Refren: Goldie, (Reksona)] A mi Å¡etamo se gradom i svi pitaju: "Å ta ima?" Dani surovi i nisu mi kul, bato U mome kraju svako pita te: "Å ta ima?" (Å ta imaa) jer ovde deca stvarno vare sve A mi Å¡etamo se gradom i svi pitaju: "Å ta ima?" (Å ta imaa) Dani surovi i nisu mi kul, bato U mome kraju svako pita te: "Å ta ima?" (Å ta imaa) jer ovde deca stvarno vare sve [Strofa 1: Goldie] Pusti da vratim te u godine zle Te godine što prskose i ruše ti sne Zle godine, mlad, svako bio je ker Gospodine ti shvati da je odabr'o smer Ko pogine zbog gudre i rodbine Ostalih sranja gomile Čovek spreman da ostane biće spreman da postanе lud Lud samo opstane tamo blud gospod je Ljudi šta osvoje brzo i ostavе Tu gde mu prostor je do zadnje kapi svoje I kada umre svoj svome uvek brani boje Ja ne bi tako tvoje, al' ne dam Å¡ta je moje Naučen greškama, svi se tuđih sranja boje Tuđih sranja boje, to je tako tipično Za moj kraj, ovde svako dete je slično Zurka, Max, tike, Å¡abanka i pristojno Napunjen sranjem Å¡to je nezamislivo [Refren: Goldie, (Reksona)] A mi Å¡etamo se gradom i svi pitaju: "Å ta ima?" Dani surovi i nisu mi kul, bato U mome kraju svako pita te: "Å ta ima?" (Å ta imaa) jer ovde deca stvarno vare sve A mi Å¡etamo se gradom i svi pitaju: "Å ta ima?" (Å ta imaa) Dani surovi i nisu mi kul, bato U mome kraju svako pita te: "Å ta ima?" (Å ta imaa) jer ovde deca stvarno vare sve [Strofa 2: Reksona] Vreli, veliki beli grad Tamo ćeš me sresti, nosim svet na ramenima I nikad hitno reket, ulicu dugo serviram K'o Novak Đoković novac broj'o bih celi dan, jebiga [?] dobro briše k'o pelikan Demian, ko gorke kiše padam Seciram ostatke svake žvake, zato pičke i nerviram U sobi je do čoveka, k'o da bend svira Sedi da ti pokažem kolika je laž oko svih Jedno je koliko imaš, drugo je kol'ko bi Ja bi prstom gde ti ne bi okom I tol'ko bi se cimo da uzmem 100 na sat i kad gume su mi bušne Veruj mi druže uspeh tu je, a vi ste kuste ruke svi Dolaze nam bolji dani, k'o da čujem ih Ljudi novac nude mi da probam da ih ubedim Ostavim ih prazne kad istiinom ih udarim [Refren: Goldie, (Reksona)] A mi Å¡etamo se gradom i svi pitaju: "Å ta ima?" Dani surovi i nisu mi kul, bato U mome kraju svako pita te: "Å ta ima?" (Å ta imaa) jer ovde deca stvarno vare sve A mi Å¡etamo se gradom i svi pitaju: "Å ta ima?" (Å ta imaa) Dani surovi i nisu mi kul, bato U mome kraju svako pita te: "Å ta ima?" (Å ta imaa) jer ovde deca stvarno vare sve
