Ugliness

music-lyrics-arrangement-vocals: Demosthenes

“Peace, when not found in the everyday life of the youth, turns into ugliness”

Refrain
The cops put me in detention, they caught me carrying a gun again
In court for the car
They found half a kilo inside it
My past so dark
Now it’s too late to apologize
I have seen and experienced ugliness
I forgot what pride is

Verse
I can’t remember the last time we had this many problems
As long as we did this business we always kept up the pretenses
Half the cops are involved and the other half are the victims
Those who get in our way their bodies are found find below the sea waves yeah

We work all night and count all day
My acquaintances from work have died from bullets
Those who make money from a dirty career
Karma sometimes pays for everything that is stolen

Stop, it’s not enough
We all want more money
I say this will be the last
But I change my mind every time
Now it might be too late
I know I got too involved
There is no way back but how to escape
The trash lost will eventually go

Tell me what you know and I’ll think about it if I leave you
But if I snitch my brothers then I’ll spoil
My cheap life, how can they let me out of there
Wish I were again a child

Refrain
The cops put me in detention, they caught me carrying a gun again
In court for the car
They found half a kilo inside it
My past so dark
Now it’s too late to apologize
I have seen and experienced ugliness
I forgot what pride is

Verse
Bad luck if you know too much
You’ve … up if you get caught
If you say names you are dead
If you don’t say, you’ll melt behind bars
It’s too late now
A wrong move costs dearly
We all got greedy
We all fell into …

All for today
We will die sooner
All for a better tomorrow
I’m on the news
I believed in a dream
Now I’m running into trouble
When we leave the house we always wear bulletproof vests

Stop, but there’s no turning back
In the car, the coke from behind
Business is not without risks
So many years how not to crack
A cigarette might calm me down
I will spend all I have made in one night
One more round and I’ll quit, I’ll try

And if they ever track me down and won’t let me go
Yes, I know that they will blackmail me and that they will torture me
But I have done the job and have all the money laundered
Now they will remember me in the neighborhood
